Well Meta is blocking mention of Pixelfed, a federated Instagram alternative. Surely this won’t cause a Streisand Effect…

In other news, I have a pixelfed account now. :grinning:

Yeah, just what we need. Handing Musky Husky another major social media platform.

I’m hoping they don’t get rid of TikTok, it’s got its problems, but I have a decently curated algorithm there and it’s the last short-form video site that hasn’t gone full fash.

I’m going all in on Mastodon and partially in on Bluesky (I am not a fan of some of their recent actions, and worry about enshittification), but when I’m high and want mindless entertainment, my options are getting pretty slim.

Hopefully that won’t be too much of a concern going forward.

That’s supported by people like Cory and Mike Masnick.

Hopefully all the TikTok crowd jump over to FlipFlop or DingDong or whatever the next thing is.
