Pixelfed has been making incredible strides over the past few years, and has begun developing a suite of different platforms and services for the #Fediverse. After just one day on Kickstarter, they've already smashed their campaign goal.

But they still need your help!

It's a fair point. But then in the case of a piece of (literal) art created by a computer program, who was the artist if not the programmer? In legal terms software is a work of creativity like any other.

Perhaps the important factor is how many people are involved. To be art, there has to be a single artist.

So if two people work together on a painting, its not art?

Edge case! Maybe? Or a Beatles song written by John and Paul.
