At Nirvista, we believe technology means nothing without the people behind it. Every line of code is written with purpose — driven by our community, developers, and visionaries who share a mission to build a more transparent, decentralized future.
Because true innovation starts with people, not programs.

It’s ironic — Pixelfed thrives without algorithms, yet Loops users demand a great one.

That’s why Loops became its own project.

We’ll always keep Pixelfed’s reverse-chronological magic intact.

But Loops is different: we’re building an ethical algorithm that connects people to ideas, creators to communities, and sparks a movement that belongs to all of us.

“Newport has been amazing at giving us a platform to actually start to provide some [#ClimateChange] solutions for people. A lot of this comes down to reducing the amount that we’re in our #cars. A big part of this tour for us was looking at #infrastructure all up and down the east coast.

“This is a beautiful sight to see 2,000 bicyclists outside one of the best musical festivals in the country. This needs to be the standard for what we see all throughout the country and all throughout the world.”—Jeff Gorman, #IlliterateLight #musician #ClimateActivist #BikeAdvocate

The Pixelfed family of apps includes Pixelfed, Loops, Sup and a few others in development.

We're not just a one trick pony, I have a vision for how we can replicate the most popular platforms and give them back to the people.

It all starts with you, the community.

Not only do you have a voice, but it doesn't require shareholder or board member status to make that change!

Are you with us? Boost for humanity.

Once Pixelfed and Loops become mainstream, with a solid team, I can step back.

Social media is important, and I'm building a solid foundation, but long term, the community deserves to have more control over the project.

The non-profit organization I'm building is a testament to that.

I never wanted to be a BDFL, I just like building things. I can't wait to have time to explore my other hobbies.

That being said, I'm not going anywhere yet, let's reach 10M users and then talk.

I'm opting to delegate management of the Loops project after v1.0, if things go according to plan.

While retaining veto power, I'll be stepping back to let our team leaders drive the vision forward.

My goal: build a solid foundation, then become a contributor who follows their lead – decisions shaped by our community's voice.

Building platforms for the people, with the people. That's the future.

No ego required. ❤️

Would also like to shoutout @FabRider who equipped me for this session! Just participated in their Facilitating Collective Power session and it was 🔥

If you have resources on effective methods to #DEI and/or takes into account “exclusivity” feels please share 🙏🏼

I welcome opinions on this! My only ask is to be careful with your tone and phrasing, I am not asking for argument but I welcome productive and constructive ideas 💡 💫

#peoplepowered #communitypower #communityfirst

What if instead of telling our communities that

“we need to diversify”, we tell them “we need more weird people”

or instead of “let’s diversify”, we say “let’s have more weird humans!”

How will you feel about it? 🤔😇

#peoplepowered #communitypower #communityfirst #community

This came to my mind because I have received a comment that #diversity is prone to misinterpretation that it is excluding one group from another.

Received a free #PeoplePowered by @jonobacon! Almost 1/3 of the book and if you’re a #community organizer who needs to develop and ramp up your #communityengagement strategy, this book can help you!

First step: create your value statement 📝

So what is value and what does it mean for your community and organization? 🤔

“If you are not clear in what value your [community] wants and how you can deliver it quickly and reliably for them, you risk work and failure.”

A BIT OF A LOOK BACK...

About 10years ago, #geoladies meetup convened by tito @maningsambale showed an average 1 woman mapper/participant in #osmph events and challenged the #openstreetmap community to change the ratio: https://www.slideshare.net/esambale/geoladies-20140609

Last Saturday, we changed the ratio! 12 women/LGBTQI++ participated (50:50 ratio)❤️‍🔥

Mappy to witness the growth and diversity of #OpenStreetMap 🇵🇭 ! Thank you for the inspiration ❤️‍🔥

Pixelfed was forked, I joined their discord and gave them a piece of my mind

Forks fucking rule, I'm happy to see this. Open source is crucial to the fediverse, and while we all might not agree on everything, it feels amazing to desire to work with forks

Y'all are the real winners, even more so when devs like me do the unthinkable and bring awareness to forks

:fediverse: Fewer news brand accounts, more people linking to news articles.
