in reply to Calligrafae • • •Pixelfed made a statement supporting Wafrn. The Wafrn app is developed by someone who federates with Discordia and is friends with Eris. When .art blocked them, he emailed me asking why, and I said it's beacause of Eris - his reply was that he considers Eris 'important' (Eris is a known racist).
Some weirdness about Pixelfed announcing new features that don't atually exist: nyan.lol/@zicklepop/1138928489…
A whole bunch of ick including him being hostile and abusive: dansup-open-letter.github.io/a…

open letter with various forms of antagonism to his peers including the time he spent a whole night harassing a trans teenager who tried to work with him on a project, but later questioned his motives and behavior: dansup-open-letter.github.io/a…
here's dan taunting that same trans teenager by referring to "five o'clock shadow" (facial hair): ghostarchive.org/archive/TeahB
he blames his harassment campaign on drinking: archive.is/0S8TG
here's dan's response to the open letter in a github issue. he initially shows signs of remorse because he's afraid of losing NLnet funding. after being reassured by NLnet that his funding is secure, he closes the issue and gloats "Pixelfed and Loops need contributors, not drama, you made your point but it didn't go as planned, even though I apologized. People need platforms, not useless petitions." so, he wasn't sorry at all, he was scared of losing money: ghostarchive.org/archive/dfdPh

a long thread where he boasts about how much he's contributed to the fediverse in replies and uses NLnet as social currency. he calls NLnet his "fans": web.archive.org/web/2024123008…. also here he admits that fedidB is closed source. NetworkManager (the Linux software network manager) steps in to tell him off.
dan using his NLnet grants to taunt people: ghostarchive.org/archive/i7Rt6…. he is asked in reponse by tobi from GoToSocial to rein in his appropriation of AAVE. Maybe this is where his issue with GoToSocial started (more on this below)

dan consistently alienates Black folks on the fedi by appropriating AAVE even after being asked many times to stop: h-i.social/@poisonous/11374281…
dan asked by tobi of GoToSocial to stop using AAVE: ghostarchive.org/archive/i7Rt6….
followup post by dan from the same night, where he somehow decides that tobi was talking about "y'all" (not what they were talking about): archive.is/6bhhZ. dan's followers decide that tobi was being a "reply guy" with no pushback or acknowledgement from dan.

dan dismisses feedback as being "trolls": web.archive.org/web/2025020709…
dan praising himself/calling himself a genius for implementing something "Mastodon dreamed of doing" (which is taking a shot at Mastodon, another NLnet-funded project): ghostarchive.org/archive/dZvd4. there's a lot of negative feedback in the comments because it looks as though his new feature directs everyone to pixelfed.social.
in a "rap" about himself, dan claims "almost every fedi developer hates me for no reason": ghostarchive.org/archive/ysdph. more implying he's the only one on fedi "with a vision": ghostarchive.org/archive/13omq. more where dan calls himself "petty king": web.archive.org/web/2025020711…

dan advises people not to use GoToSocial because "the developer is doubling down after being caught faking stats for clout": ghostarchive.org/archive/evPX9. in the replies, people push back against this.
dan taunts GoToSocial by saying "really worked out for you eh?": ghostarchive.org/archive/egcMC.
dan later implicitly agrees that he was wrong by saying he'll change his software to support robots.txt, but deletes this post soon after. maybe because it's an admission of his negligence: archive.is/l3Miy

however he's the only one moderating those 200k users. this is claimed to be okay because "photo sharing is less toxic" and "our community is nice to each other": web.archive.org/web/2025012710…
