@pork_slam@mastodon.social @dansup@mastodon.social He is only stating that two sites showing stats and (health of) available fedi servers is being ended. He is not leaving Pixelfed (AFAIK) and I doubt this has had anything to do with Meta. 🙂

The site
fediverse.observer may be an alternative in many use cases, albeit that it looks less fancy.

fediverse.observerFediverse Observer checks all sites in the fediverse and gives you an easy way to find a home from a map or list or automatically.Fediverse Sites Status. Find a Fediverse server to sign up for, find one close to you!

@Peter1986C @dansup yeah but why though? Up until recently he's always been posting wonderful updates for the org and it being actively developed is what brought me here. Helped me pick which instance to use. I really really hope he's alright in terms of health and safety. It's really hard to not connect this to the recent meta stuff.

Anyway, I hipe you're alright @dansup !
