Hot takes I've seen recently: - "Pixelfed is just a Mastodon reskin" - "Loops is just short PeerTube" - "Why does dansup have a strong fan base?" My take: - We are building the future of the social web. Instead of fighting over or against implementation details or developers, we should be uniting against corporate silos. Build. Ship. Federate. ❤️
2025 brought 400k+ new users to Pixelfed, Loops and the fediverse! That kind of growth is rare, especially for a small team like ours. Looking forward to 2026, I'm focused on making our projects more stable so we can handle a few million more 🚀 We're building the future of ethical social media, together. ❤️
Friendly reminder, a reverse chronological feed like Mastodon and Pixelfed use are technically algorithms. While I understand that many people come to the fediverse because they have had bad experiences with algorithms, it's important to remember that not all algorithms are the same! You can have ethical algorithms that respect peoples permissions while also using data you collect responsibly. Loops is proof of this 👏
Pixelfed has too many half-baked features like Groups, Live Streaming and Parental Controls. Abstracting them into Laravel Packages will make their development easier, while no longer constraining core development. My goal for Pixelfed in 2026 is to focus on our core features, improve media format support, make installation easier, and resolve some annoying long standing federation issues.
Just shipped a For You algorithm update to fix the pagination issue! If you ran into the "You're all caught up!" message, you should now see that much less often. I'll continue tweaking the algorithm to find the best fit for everyone! #Loops
