    After reading through this, it wouldn’t surprise me if he turned out to be a Russian operative. In particular a Slovakian, no hate to Slavs but he just strikes me as one ya know?

    It all just reads like a disgruntled federal operative letting the popularity get to their head.

      Does he have an ego? Definitely. But i’m not sure where you got russian operative from though. I’m not sure what russia would want to do with a buggy federated tiktok alternative/instagram app.

      He also made pixelfed as i said, and it’s open source so so far i haven’t heard any backdoors inside it. Loops is a black box though.

        It would seem I forgot to add the /s

        In any case, I’m simply disappointed in his choices for not open sourcing software that would undoubtedly march on in terms of progress at light speed if fully FOSS.

        I hope he learns to hone his ego, it’s within and without. I just hope he comes to his senses and begins to work with devs who are desperate to get a peak at the closed source portions of his sofware. - By open sourcing any blackboxed software.

          Ohhhh 🤦‍♂️Sorry. I agree, I hope he betters himself and make loops OSS. Currently he’s pretty controversial but hopefully he turns around before it’s too late.

            Honestly same! I was ready to delete my Pixelfeed account after having read all thatlbut I have high hopes that a turnaround comes. Here’s to hoping 🤞
