Pixelfed has been making incredible strides over the past few years, and has begun developing a suite of different platforms and services for the Fediverse. After just one day on Kickstarter, they've already smashed their campaign goal.

But they still need your help!

There is compression & then there is whatever mangling Instagram does. But these are things an admin should be able to tweak as the defaults are are just not good enough for photography. You can’t be stripping color profiles, forcing sRGB, & camera data for these contexts—not to mention just trying to get a crisp image. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were using WebP too 🤢

Admin options would be cool - although this would exacerbate the issue of picking an I stance and then figuring out your pick was wrong for your purpose. Fediverse generally tries to avoid that.
