Stop platform hate, create or collaborate

The #fediverse isn't perfect, it's the best solution we have

You can make a difference, simply by participating in a project/platform and suggesting ideas or reporting bugs

You don't need to know how to code to make this place better, but if you want to make a bigger impact, it does help

We need to stop shitting on fedi platforms like Mastodon and see the fediverse as the competitor to centralized social platforms

Don't get me wrong, I love Mastodon and everything it's done for the fediverse

That being said, I don't want Loops to become the only short form video platform, or the only well known one

I'm working with @stux on his own short vid platform called #GoldFish and PeerTube to enable seamless interop

We're stronger and better together

There is no reason NOT to work with "competitors" because when you have the right mindset and goals:

You build for the people, and listen wisely.

Pixelfed Collections [v3]

• remove (only-public) and (only-self) constraints - allow items to be anything, even a url

• make collections followable (w/ #activityPub)

• add "Collect" button to add items to one of your collections

• public "collections directory" w/ search

The refreshed Collections feature will be quite similar to #pinterest 😉

I noticed the #artemis app for Kbin no longer works and after some digging it seems like the developer burned out

It's unfortunate to see, and is a reminder that we can't take the #fediverse and our developers for granted!

I remember when the #fediverse didn't take @pixelfed seriously and constantly made jokes about it using PHP, or when I missed self-imposed deadlines

I had to prove myself, constantly, and I admit I almost gave up a few times

All that negativity and hate, I used that as motivation to be better, not just for me, but for other devs

Maybe those haters were busy building fediverse tools like https://fedidb.org or https://fediverse.info

Who knows, anyways I'm still here, queer, and building!

Seems like October will be an exciting month for the fediverse! #activityPub
