@theadmin Kia ora — is there a way to get the new stories feature enabled on pixelfed.nz, please?

If you'd like to live vicariously—I'm taking a few photos of our Japan trip here https://pixelfed.nz/darren

I don't even know what to say....

It's rare to come across a company website of this caliber. Love when people do something different

@themods @theadmin Hi team <3 Do y'all have any insider info regarding this?

I'm a little concerned that my entire IG history is now sitting on an unavailable server :-/

I guess I could host my own Pixelfed instance...?

Any of you know what's happening with pixelfed.nz?

Reading this site has thrown me deep into the nostalgia. If you're a web developer then this is a must read.

Jeebs—time is nebulous. 24 years ago today I immigrated here from South Africa (via the UK for a couple of years of pint drinking).

I think I'll celebrate that with a few pints tonight!

and this is why I can't have nice things...

Shipping costs more than the things I want to buy :(

Tough day. Battling whatever this awful bug is that’s going around — and even harder, we had to say goodbye to our beloved 17-year-old cat, Zoe.

RIP, old girl.

My beloved Kitchenaid Mixer just died... Anyone know of local repairers? I took some of it apart to see if it was something I could handle. I couldn't handle. I think the gears might be stripped.

My 11 year old daughter just recommended I switch to Opera.

Hey USA, _you_ are actually the bad guys.

"It’s worth saying it out loud as an affirmation: making things is not about the destination, but about the journey. The journey is what you put into creation: the thought, the mistakes, the sweat, the time, the lived experiences, the refinement in technique. What you get back is knowledge. The output is an artifact of that knowledge. When you get that artifact without the journey, you make nothing, you learn nothing."

Can I get a "Hells Yeah"!

JSM articulates his thoughts on AI...

"As someone who has spent their entire career and most of their life participating and creating online, this sucks. It feels like someone just harvested lumber from a forest I helped grow, and now wants to sell me the furniture they made with it."

It saddens me when a web publication doesn't have an RSS feed. It's not hard. You just lazy.
