To celebrate the release of the Pixelfed Mobile app going live on the Apple App Store & Google Play Store, we’re proud to be launching our first Kickstarter campaign. All funds raised will go toward continued development and support of the core Pixelfed Foundation applications and the ActivityPub ecosystem at large.

The Pixelfed Team builds open source and ethical social networks for the masses. We aim to be the first Fediverse app with a billion people by taking on the worlds biggest players using open source standards. Designed and built for a better society, to bring us closer together without tracking or surveillance.

Edit: They're already at 95% of their funding goal!

Get on it!

Not sure I understand the motivation for an ActivityPub messenger like sup. Seems like XMPP and Matrix already take care of the federated messenger space.

I mean, it'd be nice not to need multiple identities to message.

Nobody is going to be like "add me on matrix of your wasn't to message me"

People often use DM features on twitter, insta etc

But you can already message/DM someone through Mastodon, Lemmy or whatever, and that's fine. I don't see the value proposition of sup.
