RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/116119926447048026

I'd rather work a non-fediverse full time job than sell out, despite knowing first hand what poverty feels like.

I could've taken up any one of those VC sharks up on an offer to fund or sell Pixelfed, but I couldn't live with myself if I did.

That being said, I am looking into sustainable long-term ethical monetization to enable me to work full time, and even grow a team, without sacrificing our core tenets of building ethical alternatives.

This means so much to me, I want to keep building...
