Toot

While I like the concept I’m beginning to grow sceptical of the governance structure (or lack there of). For all I can see this is only @dansup?

I understand that it takes someone to start, but if it wants to be a project “by the people for the people” the governance structure is as important as the code.

A Kickstarter would have been a good place to start. Or am I missing something?

@monoxyd It seems as if there are more people now behind the project (see link). But in general my doubts are the same as yours, this needs a different governance structure (no offense to the great work so far!). Pixelfed has a chance for significant growth right now but the current setup won't scale accordingly.

@monoxyd @dansup You mean 'kickstarter' like this? -> https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pixelfed/pixelfed-foundation-2024-real-ethical-social-networks

As far as I understand they are working on the project's structure which I also would appreciate to make pixelfeds development a bit less "impulsive" and less dependend on the moods of one maintainer.

Mastodon is also still working on that communization process, aren't they? And their strongest growth has been two or three years ago.

Let's all 🤞that learning from Mastodon's past can fasten the process for pixelfed.

@monoxyd Uff - das kommt davon, wenn mein Client mir keine Vorschau anzeigt 😅

Dann hab ich deine Frage missverstanden - ich dachte, du wolltest vorschlagen, dass das ein guter Start wäre.

Ich hab es schon andernorts geschrieben: Ich wäre nicht traurig, wenn irgendwann jemand parallel eine ressourcensparsamere z.B. Go-Alternative zu pixelfed - so wie Gotosocial zu Mastodon - entwickeln würde. Dann wäre selfhosting auch eine niedrigschwelligere Alternative.

Bisher ist das .... mäßig belohnend.

@monoxyd @dansup

That's similar to how @nutomic writes lemmy or ibis, right?

Mostly them and @dessalines ?

Or indeed similar to mastodon's first decade?

@monoxyd @dansup dass der Kickstarter eine "Pixelfed Foundation" prominent in der Adresse hat, während ebendiese nur ein vage beschriebenes Stretchgoal ist, finde ich bemerkenswert
