I don’t have a reference point for who “owns” pixelfed, or who gets the money. Therefore I don’t have a reference point for if this is a drop in the bucket, or a neverending waterfall of funding.
I thought nobody owned pixelfed. Therefore, wouldn’t each instance owner get the money? Thus making this like “each instance owner gets $5”?
This goes to the main developer, which is a person in Canada. But I think they have a few collaborators that will likely get on board more now that they want to set up a non-profit (?) foundation to manage the Pixelfed codebase and IP.
The fundraising was for the development of Pixelfed’s source code. e.g. adding new features, bug fixing, etc. - not for currently hosted servers and their infrastructure. So it went to @dansup.
