I created Pixelfed because humanity needed an ethical alternative to Instagram.
I worked on this for over 8 years, and I really believe we can build a better alternative together, but in the past year I had to focus on Loops, and I understand the resentment from the community.
But, I'm back. Pixelfed is so back. Trust and stability is earned, and I'm focused on making
fun and stable again.
Thank you for joining me on this wild journey, and we really are just getting started 🚀
