Pixelfed will never introduce ads. Ever.
Multiple acquisition offers this year? All declined. Another one last week? Also declined.
I built Pixelfed for the people, not shareholders.
That's why we're exploring Web Monetization - direct creator payments with zero privacy compromise.
I won't sell out now, or ever.
I love you too much, and am forever grateful for you helping me come out and become the dev I always dreamed of ❤️
@dansup awesome, we're all for letting creators monetise their work; after all, everyone's got bills.
Web Monetisation is a really great way forward, and it should fit nicely with Pixelfed and Loops! We just wish it could handle one-off purchases, then it would work for us too :)
