Stories are coming to our Pixelfed app, and they are AMAZING!

Not everyone likes them, and they can hide them if they prefer.

But for the rest of us, you will get all the familiar features like Story Reactions, Comments and even who viewed your story/view counts.

Interesting experience... I have not done a Friendica only presentation for some time. During the recent years it was mostly introductions to the Fediverse or more topic orientated talks / workshops. First iteration of the slides for the Social Web Devroom at FOSDEM (Saturday 15:30 to 16h) is done 🚀

Two projects we love are currently running a crowdsource campaign. The modular Open Hardware laptop MNT Reform Next is up on Crowdsupply where you can support them by buying a T-shirt or treat yourself to an OH laptop in pre-sale. [1]
And the Pixelfed and Loops team is seeking backers to support the development of these federated social networks with no ads, no algorithms and no tracking. [2]

Schön zu sehen, dass jetzt auch bei #Pixelfed die Userzahlen steigen und somit auch dieser Ort im #Fediverse größer wird.

Love seeing what our friends at @vernissage are doing!

Multiple creative platforms make the fediverse stronger.

#Fediverse #StrongerTogether

Good morning Fedi friends!

All eyes are on #Pixelfed this week, as #Meta censored all mentions and links to it.

Last year I wrote about the superb interoperability between Pixelfed and #Mastodon - it was one of my first articles for #TheFutureIsFederated, which inspired me to try out more #Fediverse projects.

If you have friends who are curious about the Fediverse and @pixelfed you could share this: https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-1-mastodon-pixelfed-2/

Now is our time to shine, with real action and progress like https://RespectfulPlatforms.org

TIL that on #Meta platforms now one can write terrible, offensive slurs against LGBTQIA+ folks and immigrants… with zero repercussions. But the second one mentions a #Fediverse project like #Pixelfed, the post is automatically removed.

Meta “moderation” policies in 2025: racism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia and sexism are allowed; mention of competition is strictly forbidden.

Yeah, just because you can scrape the fedi, doesn't mean you should.

I put my Starter Kit project on hold because even though the Discovery flag that Mastodon/Pixelfed support could be considered consent, I want to make it explicitly opt-in via DM confirmation.

We can do this right. #fediverse
