because dansup/pixelfed is making me increasingly uncomfortable AND because there are no data export tools for pixelfed, i made one that exports to an 11ty-compatible format.

i literally caught dansup lying and misinforming people about pixelfed's export tools just this month! it's laughable!

Ugh! Thank you for writing this! I had loads of joy reading your posts by the way! I was like, yay! Finally, someone agrees! I sent you a DM requesting your web skills, just in case you block DM's from non-followers but that will change soon! @zicklepop

@zicklepop I'm concerned now, I feel like over the last couple of weeks there has been a lot of buzz about #pixelfed but now cracks are starting to show.
Most of what he's written that I've read seemed fairly innocuous, but others are reading between the lines better than I can, now I don't know what to think!

@alansuspect yeah it doesn't feel too tangibly bad like with other social media leaders, but before all of this my critique was that pixelfed didn't seem to be getting any attention or development and it's not exactly cheap to self-host, so i think i might spin it down for now.

@zicklepop I'm hoping it's more a case of Dan has taken on too much too soon.
Mastodon is mostly text so lighter on resources, Pixelfed and especially Loops would be resources hogs. Although I don't do any self-hosting so 🤷🏼♂️

@zicklepop it’s been interesting to see this developer. Thoughts on stux and his platform? Some of us don’t have time/interest to self-host.

@logan @zicklepop Stux is not great either. Both of them are all about platform growth with no moderation.

@Moss @zicklepop is there a list somewhere of decent server admins?

@logan @zicklepop Afaik no, that kind of culture has not developed outside Mastodon.

@zicklepop is there any run down on what's going on? I'm confused with what is happening and would like to be in the picture since I've been recommending PF as alternative to IG

@KevinGimbel @zicklepop basically everyone is a bit concerned Pixelfed.social is currently run by one person who seems to be focused on growth at all costs and isn't very good at working with others or accepting criticism. Pixelfed is currently ballooning which is great in one sense, but if he doesn't share the load, get some proper moderation in place, get someone else helping to fix bugs and get some help covering server costs it's all going to come crashing down pretty soon which will

@afewbugs oh yes, that's def a problem :( I've had the same impression especially regarding the building of a community around the OS project and the fact he does loads of things in parallel all on his own. @zicklepop

@zicklepop Where did you get the outbox.json file from? My export gives me pixelfed-statuses.json which is in a different format to what your script is expecting.
Not a massive issue, I have a different script that does all this from the API but I'm curious if there's a mismatch between pixelfed.social and your install.

@robb i think it’s because pixelfed.social runs from the latest commit, but those changes haven’t been officially released. there’s this tool too that supports both, but i haven’t tried it yet:

@zicklepop Did he do a new thing or are we still waiting for a third broken hinge for the door to fall off after the jackboot thing and the weird tirade thing

@Kye @zicklepop What was the jackboot thing?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from erosdiscordia@onycha.monster
@erosdiscordia @zicklepop Called for violent suppression of striking postal workers, played it off as a joke and deleted the posts later.

@Kye @zicklepop What the absolute fuck.
Nothing about that is okay.
Approximately when was this, do you know? And any chance you have a screenshot or link laying around? I believe you, just like to have proof for others if they want it.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from erosdiscordia@onycha.monster
@erosdiscordia @zicklepop I didn't think to screenshot the posts and haven't been able to find screenshots others made

@Kye @zicklepop Is there anything else federated for photos like pixelfed?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from erosdiscordia@onycha.monster
@kye@tech.lgbt @erosdiscordia@onycha.monster It was during the Canadian postal strike (you can look up the timeline of that one, but it ended a couple weeks before xmas).
iirc the context was that he was waiting on some financial support from programs (possibly gov't related), and those cheques were literally in the mail. The mail which had been put to a stop due to the strike.
It's an extremely bad take considering that Canada Post workers union had wanted to maintain limited service throughout the strike, but the government ordered a full lockout of the postal employees.
Likewise, I have no screenshots, only what I saw here with my own two eyes.

I'm a bit confused, isn't there an export section in Settings on the Web UI?
Or is this tool something else? 🤔
