I've received 5 VC offers "to chat" regarding Pixelfed in the past few days.Not for sale. Pixelfed belongs to the people.I'd rather be broke and true to my beliefs, than sell out. That's why I'm organizing a Kickstarter to fund the ethical development of Pixelfed, Loops and more.It's time that someone stood up to them, instead of joining them.Are you with me?https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pixelfed/pixelfed-foundation-2024-real-ethical-social-networks

@dansup for the people not used to this world, wondering why they should trust the project of a man. The detail is in the license. That's the license:

And, for those wondering about this, we need to ensure that @dansup (who seems well-meaning but IS human and fallible and will have bills to pay, maybe unexpected big bills one day) isn't tempted by increasing piles of VC cash by ensuring he's not worried about money. By giving him some of our own. It's an investment in keeping VCs away!

@dansup that sounds familiar. Don't get business cards with "I'm CEO, b*tch." on them, though.If you decide to go with a German eG, eV (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_association_(Germany) ), Swiss or European equivalent (had a French name, I think) and need people to sign the founding contract, I'd be happy and honored to join.

@dansup @pixelfed VC is what led to the demise of Mammoth. The original developer sold it, the new team made changes, and when they tried to monetize for the investors the project died.

@dansup "bro", find yourself some humility. "Chats" with VCs are a dime a dozen, and you literally compared yourself to Jobs earlier today. I hope you're going to bring on some actual people with actual ethics to make that ethical development thing happen...Take it down a notch. The excessive self-promotion and ego is going to be your downfall.

@dansup this is a super decision. 🙏Follow Mastodon's trajectory and opportunity to do one better, where a collective commons helps share the burdens as well as the joys. With community to delegate the chores, and help foster and guarantee pixelfed and loop's long-term sustainably. Increase the bus factor, before you burn out. A single person is not invincible, a united movement might be.

@dansup have you considered making the organisation a co-operative? Users and contributors could become a member for a $/€ and have say in how it's run and the community then owns it. You also have the ability to raise share capital from members (which you can limit so no one has too much stake) to fund the org/project, but every member still only gets one vote, so no one can wield more power over what the project does. You can also put limits on how much share capital can be withdrawn at once, so no one can pull the rug out from under the project either. Just a thought :blobcatthink:

@dansup "Pixelfed, Loops and more" - you're developing something besides Pixelfed and Loops? Wow.Small grammar mistake on Kickstarter: "Beautiful sharing platforms that puts you first." Either single "platform" or verb in plural "put".I think it's the first time I read there's a "Pixelfed Foundation". I thought it was mostly just you. And the contact email is a dot com address, instead of using the existing .org domain?I'm curious about Pixelfed's path forward! Looking forward to it.
