Pixelfed has been making incredible strides over the past few years, and has begun developing a suite of different platforms and services for the #Fediverse. After just one day on Kickstarter, they’ve already smashed their campaign goal.

But they still need your help!

    Should’ve set the goal at 100k for fulltime employment. These kinds of projects need that kind of dedication

      As long as they reach the goal they keep everything donated including if it raises much more than the goal.

      They’re already at 72k

        That’s good news. I imagine it will diminish quickly unless the story about TikTok is kept alive. The news cycle is mostly 1-2 weeks. Hopefully it’ll have reached 100k by then.

      It’s helpful to be able to appreciate art without worrying too much about the artist. In history the number of genius artists who were bad people - it’s basically off the scale.

        This isn’t art, it’s a platform, it’s a tool more akin to engineering than painting.

        Would you have this same response for x, Facebook, or truth social?

          It’s a fair point. But then in the case of a piece of (literal) art created by a computer program, who was the artist if not the programmer? In legal terms software is a work of creativity like any other.

          Perhaps the important factor is how many people are involved. To be art, there has to be a single artist.
