    It is a time of predatory billionaires grabbing all forms of media. It would not surprise me if he did get offers. It would also be very unprofessional to broadcast the valuation of Loops and Pixelfed while turning down the offer. It would be like recording and showing someone asking for a date and getting rejected.

      He open sourced the “code”. If you actually look in detail, there’s no actual working code.

      He also disabled issues on GitHub, so there’s no way to report bugs (and thus discuss his code).

      While he could be getting offers, everything about it just feels like a scam.

        Could you elaborate? I’m not a developer but the repo does appear to be populated. Someone in the Mastodon replies said he might have forgotten to push some commits, are y’all alluding to the same thing?

        I don’t have the requisite competency to see what you’re saying so I’d love more info on what you mean and why you think that

          The repo is just full of configuration files and no actual working code. The backend code does not exist. The guy in mastodon thinks that dan forgot to upload his code to the github repo.
