Also, after the viral exposure of Pixelfed in January 2025, I got a dozen offers to sell, like 7 figures.
That would be life changing money. I couldn't even entertain this though, I had a feeling some were proxies of Meta, that is nothing to them, the ability to shutdown another competitor.
I never started this to sell out, I really believe in our mission, and how we can build safer and people centric alternatives.
Pixelfed is proudly funded by people, like you!

@dansup@mastodon.social is it even possible to sell something that is federated? What would that entail?

@dansup@mastodon.social Of course you cannot share the offers, but I'd love to know what made you think some were Meta proxies.

@dansup@mastodon.social please make sure Pixelfed doesn't become a place that shuts down anti-zionist anti-genocide voices. too many mastodon instances went that way

@dansup@mastodon.social while you holding these offers, your zero figures are multiplying
