Unpopular feedback about #Pixelfed. I really want to love PF, but...

1. I need simple drag n drop multi upload panel. Having to navigate to images before I actually create a post is REALLY offputting
2. Why cant I create a new post FIRST - before I publish, like all other socmed?
3. Why are img thmbs so small when creating the post?
4. Why cant I multi-upload images?
3. Why are stories and collections prioritised over simple UX improvements?

Please dont shout at me.

It's been a while since I worked on the Pixelfed mobile app, and I'm having fun shipping fixes and closing issues before I work on some more exciting updates.

Will share more deets when the next release is shipped 😉

If you're thinking of creating a Fedi site, I strongly recommend avoiding a .com, .net, .org, .info, .us, or .edu domain name.

You want to avoid U.S. jurisdiction entirely, which means choosing a domain name, registrar, and web hosting provider located outside of it.

I personally recommend the following domain extensions: .be (Belgium), .nl (Netherlands), .is (Iceland), .ch (Switzerland), .at (Austria), and finally, .tw (Taiwan).

All of these countries have strong protections for freedom of speech, including speech that defends and promotes minority rights — such as LGBTQ+ rights. Domain registration is open to everyone... You don’t need to be a citizen or own a business in any of these countries.

No solution is 100% perfect, but at this moment, we can say with confidence that the USA, China, and Russia are not ideal choices.
