Dansup is walking, most of everyone else is talking.

Isn't that because Dan hasn't open-sourced his project yet and doesn't let anybody else contribute?

Wrong: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/blob/dev/LICENSE

and doesn't let anybody else contribute?

Hmm, while there have been 158 contributors, a very small percent were from the other developers: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/graphs/contributors

This information is pretty easy to look up.

Of course it is, but then again: it's because everyone else is talking. No one stops everyone else from starting their own project and overtaking his by sheer power of community. Until that happens, one man would have to suffice.
