So I’ve tried Mastodon, Pixelfed and didn’t like them. Mastodon is nice if you wanna ”tweet”, but that’s not for me. Pixelfed was dead.
I quit Meta because of tech bro fascism, and hated Twitter even before it was X because, let’s face it - nobody has ever changed their opinion on anything because of a Twitter conversation (I know I’m exaggerating, to get my point across). I was in Reddit for a few weeks, and the conversations there seem mostly friendly and constructive, but I decided I don’t want to have anything to do with social media corporations. Besides, I noticed I could scroll endlessly. And that’s not good for me.
Lemmy seems nice. There are still some topics I’m interested in that don’t have active communities, and I’m still learning on how to have my feed from multiple instances. But still, this is the way to go for me.
Against algorithms, against fascism, for free internet. Thanks for coming to my boring Ted talk and have a nice day.
we need more artists on pixelfed. the insta artists are on the one side extremely exploited by meta but on the other side theres so much that do it for their small artist bag…
idk clout is weird… how would one solve that with no revenue, maybe like personal sponsors based on reach will remain? idk
There are a lot of artists on pixelfed, but lack of an algorithm makes finding them very difficult
yeah we need eu to help us get fediverse goin with european servers and more ethical algorithms for such platforms that rely on it
or how else are you navigating pixelfed to find the good stuff… its really frustrating to stare at low quality posts and be somewhat stuck with those… maybe theres other reasons in UX also contributing to this frustration
