For some reason whenever someone posts any news about Pixelfed one of the top comments is usually along the lines of “no dark mode, no use.” Boy do I have good news for those users!

Like the rest of the Fediverse, and unlike corporate media, there are multiple apps you can use! Examples:

This is also useful for users who have qualms about the Pixelfed dev’s more… distasteful? behavior (example I found today) and don’t rock with rewarding it, kind of like how a lot of Lemmy users might block or defederate the flagship .ml instance.

    Dansup has had multiple public bullshit tirades, it seems. He went ballistic about a developer recently who did something for Pixelfed, and ranted endlessly in the most egotistical fashion.

    It sucks. Pixelfed is a nice addition to the fediverse, but that guy is a dick.

        Same here. It’s unfortunate, because it is a nice project. But his attitude sours the whole thing.

        I was following him on mastodon for updates, until he went on that ego trip. I had to mute him after that.
