If you want to give money to Pixelfed - here's the official avenues from their website.
The kickstarter is official too, Daniel tooted it recently.
I see, thanks!
We'd rather not give money to a cultural appropriator who has been asked by black people multiple times to stop it, but he doesn't.
Sorry I am not aware of the incident, do you mind elaborate? Thank you.

Honestly just sounds like a white guy who grew up around a lot of black people and just wanted to fit in.
Okay, sorry, but why do you think black people should have the monopoly on speaking AAVE? Am I not allowed to speak British English, because I don't live in the UK? Pardon my ignorance, I don't have contact to many black Americans, but this seems ridiculous to me.
I don't have contact to many black Americans...
Then take our fucking word for it. We live this. Listen to us.
British people in general are not oppressed by the general populace of most countries/the world.
The history of the world is white people, including and especially Britain taking what isn't theirs and doing what they want with it whilst those who have had everything taken from them or in many cases had many of those things killed and destroyed are ridiculed, locked up, not provided what they need to live and are extremely disenfrachised.
All they want is something that is theirs to stay theirs after all this, but nope, colonisers continue to take it, tell them it sounds ridiculous when they say or do it and then lock them up or worse for the 'privelege'.
I'm not a native speaker. Man would I feel uncomfortable meeting you at a party. What do you even think of Elvis?
Why?
I'm not in the habit of being mean to people that don't deserve it. If it was you and other non-native speakers I would take my time to explain.
dansup isn't that he has a lot of power and actual black people who created the language asked him to stop. So it's not at all a similar situation.
I'm a little lost. Pixelfed is already a decentralized photosharing service, and they already run Pixelfed.social. So what is Loops? An app?
Loops is a TikTok clone in the same way pixelfed is an Instagram clone. It's an app and a backend server setup with activitypub. You can sign up now to the developer's instance if you're interested. After signup you get access to the beta app. It'll probably hit the app store in a few weeks/months depending on how fast the developer can get it done.
Haven't both of these launched already? Seems like this should be a gofundme rather than a Kickstarter
Kickstarter works for multiple phases or versions of a project.
The only real difference with GoFundMe, is that Kickstarter will return backer money if the campaign doesn't get funded, while GoFundMe has an option to fail and still get paid.
