You can't ignore the strength of ActivityPub and the fediverse.
Pixelfed has nothing to gain and everything to lose if it shifts from its open, fediverse-focused direction to seek VC funding.
I've turned down several offers.
I'd rather be funded by y'all on a shoestring budget than sell out and have pixelfed (npub1gq5…qcul) lose the very luster that made it shine.
It's your impact that makes our project shine. Forget profits; y'all are the true shareholders.
