Cool, but it the more learn the more I find that I'd rather Dansup wasn't becoming the darling of the fediverse.

Yeah he’s definitely up himself, and highly prone to preschool outbursts on Mastodon. No doubt he deserves plaudits for ambition and talent, but a bit more humility and grace would do him good. I’ve cringed at a few of his (often retrospectively deleted) posts unnecessarily slagging off other devs.

That said, I’m extremely grateful for what he’s trying to do, and his genuine desire to expand the fediverse.

You're free to start delivering code and release of your own! Dansup is walking, most of everyone else is talking.

Dansup is walking, most of everyone else is talking.

Isn't that because Dan hasn't open-sourced his project yet and doesn't let anybody else contribute?

Wrong: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/blob/dev/LICENSE

and doesn't let anybody else contribute?

Hmm, while there have been 158 contributors, a very small percent were from the other developers: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/graphs/contributors

This information is pretty easy to look up.
