Yeah, I've made mistakes. Real ones. I own that.
What I also own: 8 years of open fediverse work, fully open sourcing Loops, and doing the hard work of making things right with people I hurt.
I'm embarrassed by who I was then. I'm proud of who I'm becoming.
I'm still here. Still building. Still learning.

@dansup seeing influential people in areas of the internet I value have humility and not just letting their success go to their head heals my soul.

For anyone interested, here's the link to the open letter:
https://dansup-open-letter.github.io/To be clear, I appreciate your work Dan, but since the link is mentioned in the screenshot, people should also be able to read about the criticism.
@graves501 Thanks, but I should also mention that a few of those signatories have active Loops accounts, and that repo was archived, so it doesn't accurately represent the current state, not to mention that I have since re-invited Hazel to our team and fully open sourced Loops.

@dansup if you did not make mistakes, you wouldn't be where you are.
Thanks for what you are doing.
People looking for perches undervalue their wings. Just fly.

@graves501 @dansup thanks.
But it does seem heavy-handed to pull funding from loops because of...whatever
My experience in dealing with open source and software engineering is passions run high because... we are human.
It also leads me to question who is jockeying for position... something I wasn't interested in before.
Mud-slinging I detest.

Thanks for adding additional context!
Once again, I really appreciate your input for the Fediverse, I wish you all the best!

@graves501 The appreciation is mutual, cheers!
Looking forward to seeing more Loops videos, btw, you should checkout this tool by @rusty__shackleford to help optimize Loops videos before uploading https://codeberg.org/Rusty_Shackleford/FitCheck

Cool, I'll check it out!
Would this also help with Pixelfed short video uploads? The 15MB limit is really hard to adhere to for a video - I know that Pixelfed is mostly for photos, but not every video I want to post is TikTok-ish content.

@graves501 @rusty__shackleford Yeah the new Pixelfed UI refresh I'm working on will help by handling client side optimizations for larger videos, it will be much better soon.
