It seems odd that you’re here on a social media site then.

Check out YUNOhost. I had a Pixelfed server up and running in 20 mins.

You’re 100% right about that. I’ve never ran out of nice posts to look at on Pixelfed. I think the medium & format is a lot less addictive and a lot more relaxing/positive, which might help to explain it.

Pixelfed is definitely a good example of “its what you make it”.

Try searching for and following some hashtags that you’re interested in. I have an awesome home feed made up of art, design and photography hashtags and artists.

Good work!

This really captures the vibe of Wales.

Yeah good - everyone is really positive about it when I tell them.

I’m not sure how many of them end up using the fediverse based on our conversation but I think broader and more important cultural changes are built on slow but widespread indications of shifting values; I think conversations about what the fediverse stands for is actually more important than people using it.

I don’t use any closed source or centralised social media any more but I speak to people in real life about the Fediverse and share links to fediverse posts with my friends and family.

Yeah, I haven’t logged into my fb account for a couple of years but this might be a good reason to go in and leave something in my ‘bio’ or whatever monstrosity it is these days, I can’t even remember.

Man, Dansup is tearing it up like an absolute beast. Donate to his fund.

Just remember that the people getting mad at you are not deleting any of their posts.

I have no problem with that - on Pixelfed I can choose what to see. I agree though it would be a cool bonus to have a fourth option to see all Pixelfed posts.

Most posts on my instance’s local feed right now are from new accounts and 99% of them are photography and art. I saw one guy doing a typical poser selfie and just blocked him. It’s looking good.

I encourage people to report any spam that does get posted though. Need to keep Pixelfed nice.

Lots of great artists are on Mastodon instances, like mastodon.art. Including their image posts means you can see some really good paintings.

It means we’re winning.

These companies just go whichever way the wind blows. Which is exactly what you would expect.

“South African Immigrant To US Says Americans Are Dumbasses.”

You can just follow hashtags instead of users on Mastodon. In fact I think that’s the best way to use it.

You can also subscribe to a hashtag via RSS, which is really useful.

That’s great news. The actual number of viewers will be higher too because not everyone who’s watching a video will be logged in to a PT account.

I downloaded the apk because it wasn’t on f-droid yet - maybe others did the same.
