I’m not sure your comment accurately or fairly represents things.
Narcissism is genuine psychological disorder. Your comment doesn’t explain how he would be one of “the most narcissistic people.”
However, you genuinely made me curious about how many people have been contributing and by how much, so I looked it up on GitHub as you mentioned. There have been 159 contributors. The second most being 210 commits. Dan is the number one contributor at over 10,000 commits!
I can’t know his motivations, only what he shares publicly. I don’t follow PixelFed development closely. I don’t know why he’s trying to do so much at once. And I honestly thought Sup was short for Whatsup.
What I do know is what it’s like to slave for thousands of hours, writing millions of lines of code, trying to manage multiple projects with numerous hands in it, ridiculous deadlines, and with customers and users quick to criticize without truly understanding everything entailed in such projects.
Perhaps I’m honestly ignorant and he really is someone to loath. So far though, PixelFed has been a gem that connects me with a lot of beauty. I personally know loathsome humans. There’s plenty more in the news daily.
This Forbes article though? It’s doing something really good for the Fediverse. It’s highlighting the need for funding projects like these. And, yeah, it mentions Dan because he’s the one who got these projects of the ground and has done nearly all the bleeding and sweating for it.
I get the concerns and fears, but I’m not sure there is reason think we’re there yet.

I guess I’m just grateful.
