@diraquel Pixelfed doing pixelfed things once more. Just getting back to this again and again: Stay away from it, at least from this particular instance. And keep a fallback strategy in place to compensate for the lack of export / migration tools. 😔
Aug 18, 2026, 4:59 PM@dat They had a sweet spots back then. Like ... finding pictures by location. Setting particular licenses per images. The portfolio. Or that history / on that day feature. But for one, quite some of these have been axed and just quietly removed at some point, and then again: What do advanced features help if basic features are broken and even worse if the maintainer and administrator of the *cough* flagship instance responds to anything even loosely resembling criticism by blocking people? My opinion is as unimportant as any other but this is ... some of the worst, some of the most anti-social behaviours I have so far experienced both in the Fediverse and in the FLOSS community as a whole.

I completely agree with you. I've never seen behaviour like that from a dev in the Fediverse before. I don't care devs having a big ego when they produce great work, but I can't understand the way he treats people and his own platform with so much flaws. He boasts so much about it, yet he allows serious problems to persist that are bad for his own, Pixelfed and Fediverse's reputation, since Pixelfed is the entry point for many people to the Fedi.
