Yeah, this one guy has been trying to jumpstart so many projects. And that’s admirable, but it’s also too much for one dude (and I know he’s tried to get some other people, but there has been drama around that - by him, I think).

But more to your point - something feels a little off even though I can’t confirm anything. It does feel like this guy might just take some money and run if given the chance.

And I don’t necessarily blame him for that - I probably would too. I don’t want to work, and if I had money I wouldn’t.

But there’s just this feeling I can’t shake about all of it. And I have a Pixelfed and a Loops account. They are both fine, so we’ll see, I guess. But I wouldn’t be surprised if I end back up with Mastodon being my sole social place for sharing photos, for example.

The people there seem pretty chill in my experience so far.

I wish there was an easy way to know which servers are getting hammered more than others.

I can easily make a post to my server via the website, but the app was giving me trouble, as an example. That’s why I wonder where the hiccup is/was. Both the website and app are just interfaces to get data to a server, so if one doesn’t work I’d assume the other doesn’t too. But I dunno.

Edit: After writing this I went back and tried posting from the app again. It finally worked! I guess things have settled down.

I have a Pixelfed account and have tried the app.

But I can’t actually make posts using it. Don’t know where the hiccup is.
