Ideas are cheap. Building them yourself? That's the superpower.

Self-taught high school dropout energy hits different when you're building the future of social media.

The fediverse keeps me hungry. Yeah, there's bumps — but look at what we built together this year.

We're not done yet ❤️

I can't wait for September
Cause that means that next month, it's going down like timber

#membersOnly #pixelfed #loops #sup

Still growing and learning every day.

I know trust/respect is earned, not given - and I'm committed to earning yours by delivering on Pixelfed, Loops, Sup, and being the kind of maintainer our community deserves.

Together we're proving that ethics and humanity can win.

This is just the beginning. 🚀

‘#OpenSource And #Ethical’ #TikTok, #WhatsApp And #Instagram Alternatives Could Transform #SocialMedia

[a very well-written article with a favorable yet realistic angle on the #Fediverse]

"At the heart of these alternative apps lies the Fediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called #ActivityPub."

What about a date on first Alpha or Beta on #Sup!

I'm so thankful for @shlee and our other team members for helping so much in so many ways, it's special to have such an amazing team.

I couldn't ask for a better group of dreamers by my side ❤️

#pixelfed #loops #sup

Pixelfed DMs are getting a huge makeover!

Group chats, share from feeds, media attachments, realtime presence features and more ✨

Like way more, think PixelTime (video chat) and Sup integration 🚀

I keep hearing that Sup shouldn't exist because X exists.

I made Sup to replace Snapchat and Facebook Messenger in my own friend group

I think it might be useful to other friend groups or families too, being that you can join with an email or Pixelfed/Loops or Mastodon account

Not only that, but Sup will be modular, allowing for rich integration with pretty much any other chat platform (Signal, Matrix, Delta, etc)

It's like Beeper, but federated and open source. 🚀

where I can find #sup ?

Can't wait for my first conference talk, I have so much to discuss 😅

#pixelfed #loops #sup

The Pixelfed family of apps includes Pixelfed, Loops, Sup and a few others in development.

We're not just a one trick pony, I have a vision for how we can replicate the most popular platforms and give them back to the people.

It all starts with you, the community.

Not only do you have a voice, but it doesn't require shareholder or board member status to make that change!

Are you with us? Boost for humanity.

You're an intriguer😁! Seriously, SUP, what is the protocol based on (can you voice at least minimal information, personally or to everyone), so that you know what to prepare for?
🙏
#dansup #sup #pixelfed

#Sup #WhatsUp #BigBangTheory #TBBT

sup is like Facebook Messenger, but for the fediverse.

Connect all of your fediverse accounts on one app, and connect with people on other platforms or protocols, like IRC.

It's also going to be fully open source, and modular with a simple plugin system to add support for other fediverse platforms and more.

A universal, open, federated messenger.

Built by @PixelFed ✨

I appreciate all the support, and just wanted to remind you all that I've been preparing for this moment for years.

I tend to excel under stressful conditions, while maintaining a healthy balance by taking every other night off from coding.

I won't waste this opportunity, and remain focused on @pixelfed during this historic moment!

Admins, users and even press are free to mention me, I'm here to serve you!

Remember that ❤️

Sup Group Chats, y'all ready?

#sup #fediverseMessenger #groupChats

Sup will be available via TestFlight beta after our review is approved!

#sup #helloWorld #fediverseMessenger

For the people asking about Sup, I've put it on hold pending the new EU laws that require interoperability with large platforms like WhatsApp and Signal.

I'm still working my way around the new laws and requirements so Sup can take advantage, but it requires some refactoring to be compatible.

I think @supapp has the potential to be a game changer for the fediverse, but I want to get it right.

After Loops, I plan to publish the app client + server, likely in May.
