I think that pixelfed guy has a big problem with commitment, he has so many unfinished/unpolished projects, and he’d be able to do so much more if he wasn’t starting something new every other month.

Yeah okay, so it sounds like he’s the kind of guy who’ll build a framework, or most of it, and won’t ever really become capable of hosting a lot of videos at a watchable quality.

Technically he’ll probably have built something basically functional the community could rally behind and get going. But that won’t happen, because the people who care about the Fediverse are few, insufficiently resourceful, and most importantly don’t care about shorts.
