I'm thriving and the most productive and hopeful for the fediverse, than I've been in years.

Unfortunately, there is a concerted effort to convince people otherwise, I honestly wonder why.

Such intensity could do wonders if used in the right way, for many projects.

Rather than speculate, let’s focus on what matters: shipping, stability, and making ActivityPub better for everyone ❤️

toot that says:

"#pixelfed #loops Heads up folks, DanSup is going through a very dark period of time right now. Having lost a lot of trust in the community, Pixelfed being abandoned essentially and all of the missed deadlines in 2025 on top of Loops being a priority, it's going to be a difficult 2026 for him. Many of us are concerned of this mental well being. For pixelfed, in its current broken state with Activity Pub being broken and neglected features it's going to require concentration."

@dansup I've noticed this pattern where certain fedi developers who are highly productive seem to get dogpiled. I don't know if it's coincidence that the two main examples are gay men. One is you, obviously, the other one was Kainoa who also brought a lot of energy and tools to fedi.

At a certain point it feels targeted.
