I criticise #Pixelfed from a place of love for #FLOSS, and gratitude towards @dansup and the rest of developers. I even contributed a tiny fix to the codebase myself a while ago.

Perhaps it's just that I dislike #Instagram and its UI so much that a copycat (even a free, open and federated copycat) simply isn't for me. I understand I should find an image-sharing project that better suits my preferences, and contribute to it, either with money or with code (my problem is: I haven't found any!).

Still, I felt like sharing my frustration about Pixelfed here — either to find agreement, or to be corrected.

✊ #Fediverse FTW!
