So, so typical of the fediverse that an open source, non-corporate platform like pixelfed (and/or loops) is getting increasing amounts of attention while reports of the head of the project consistently and loudly being an antiblack weirdo are ignored
@tillshadeisgone The more I hear about dansup, the less I want to learn about dansup
@finalstaticfox
Quite reasonable.
But the issue I do have is, people seem to identify this guy's problematic stance with pixelfed.
So is pixelfed the software racist?
It's pixelfed the community racist?
Because if your standard is that you only use software written by non racists, you should throw away your mobile. Quickly. Meta has right wing project2025 fascists at VP level.
And yes the past year hasn't been exactly fun for despite being a white guy too.

@yacc143 oh my god shut up
@yacc143 @tillshadeisgone I manage just fine not platforming or supporting bigots and fascists in my daily life, but thanks for your concern.
Either way, considering dansup is the one that owns Pixelfed it certainly doesn't make me want to touch it.
