"Some of the most effective #volunteer projects happen in partnership with government agencies that are chronically caught up in the slow-moving wheels of #bureaucracy and can struggle to simply get stuff done that #PeoplePowered nonprofits can just do.”

And if you have ideas about how we can further improve Loops, please let us know!
We're people powered.
You control our direction. Not some board or power hungry techbro. Make a issue, let's tackle the problem and plan a path forward. Together.

Loops + Hide AI content
One tap across web or mobile will toggle AI content in your feeds.
You can also hide the algorithmic For You feed and just use the Following and Local feeds.
You control your experience on Loops.

It’s ironic — Pixelfed thrives without algorithms, yet Loops users demand a great one.
That’s why Loops became its own project.
We’ll always keep Pixelfed’s reverse-chronological magic intact.
But Loops is different: we’re building an ethical algorithm that connects people to ideas, creators to communities, and sparks a movement that belongs to all of us.

“Newport has been amazing at giving us a platform to actually start to provide some [#ClimateChange] solutions for people. A lot of this comes down to reducing the amount that we’re in our #cars. A big part of this tour for us was looking at #infrastructure all up and down the east coast.
“This is a beautiful sight to see 2,000 bicyclists outside one of the best musical festivals in the country. This needs to be the standard for what we see all throughout the country and all throughout the world.”—Jeff Gorman, #IlliterateLight #musician #ClimateActivist #BikeAdvocate

The Pixelfed family of apps includes Pixelfed, Loops, Sup and a few others in development.
We're not just a one trick pony, I have a vision for how we can replicate the most popular platforms and give them back to the people.
It all starts with you, the community.
Not only do you have a voice, but it doesn't require shareholder or board member status to make that change!
Are you with us? Boost for humanity.

Once Pixelfed and Loops become mainstream, with a solid team, I can step back.
Social media is important, and I'm building a solid foundation, but long term, the community deserves to have more control over the project.
The non-profit organization I'm building is a testament to that.
I never wanted to be a BDFL, I just like building things. I can't wait to have time to explore my other hobbies.
That being said, I'm not going anywhere yet, let's reach 10M users and then talk.

Stronger Together.
Safer Together.Now is our time to shine, with real action and progress like https://RespectfulPlatforms.org
Spread the word.

We keep it real - just like your questionable selfie angles and that one photo where your thumb made a surprise cameo.
No AI profiles here, just authentic human chaos in all its glory ✨

I'm opting to delegate management of the Loops project after v1.0, if things go according to plan.
While retaining veto power, I'll be stepping back to let our team leaders drive the vision forward.
My goal: build a solid foundation, then become a contributor who follows their lead – decisions shaped by our community's voice.
Building platforms for the people, with the people. That's the future.
No ego required. ❤️

Pixelfed was forked, I joined their discord and gave them a piece of my mind
Forks fucking rule, I'm happy to see this. Open source is crucial to the fediverse, and while we all might not agree on everything, it feels amazing to desire to work with forks
Y'all are the real winners, even more so when devs like me do the unthinkable and bring awareness to forks

:fediverse: Fewer news brand accounts, more people linking to news articles.

We dig the bicycle-powered stage at #NewportFolk Festival. Our daughter is there again this year, and wherever she goes, she has an eye out for bicycles, to share bike buzz with us. She sent us this video clip from Newport today: #IlliterateLight
Here's a story about the NFF bike stage written by Ryan Belmore: "Illiterate Light bringing their bicycle-powered stage back to Newport Folk Festival" - https://whatsupnewp.com/2023/07/illiterate-light-bringing-their-bicycle-powered-stage-back-to-newport-folk-festival/
We're waiting for #MontereyJazzFestival, #CaliRoots, or other live music events in #MontereyCounty to make use of bicycle power too!

"As trust in government declines, governments, civil society groups and other stakeholders are increasingly seeking to engage people in decision-making, from planning policy to budgeting. Thus, digital participation platforms are becoming popular and a growing variety are available. How do you choose which one to use?
People Powered will launch its 2023 ratings of digital participation platforms (DPP) on February 23." -
