How can Pixelfed sustain the growth without introducing ads or some other form of monetization?
Federation.
If pixelfed.social becomes to costly, we simply close registration. I'd never consider any other option, especially one that would sell out our core mission by taking VC funding.
This is why I'm asking for you to help fund this open source empire of future-proof social media.
Spread the word, the future of social media is funded and owned by people like you ✨
