‘Open Source And Ethical’ TikTok, WhatsApp And Instagram Alternatives Could Transform Social Media
-
Can you guys help me: I have Facebook and instagram which isn't great. Never got twitter or tiktok and I'm very glad about that. If I get bluesky will I end up using instagram and Facebook less or just get addicted to another regretful thing? What's it actually like?

No mention of Lemmy. Hardly a mention of Mastodon. The leading image is all the oligarch apps. I'm not impressed.
-
Not too be confused with the Masturbatron.
-
get our there and mention lemmy ppl here dont even want that site to grow
-
Yes masta

Venture capital doesn't benefit you any more than a leach benefits you

I joined Pixelfed yesterday, the Instagram alternative. I wasn't really active on IG and haven't logged in in years, but Pixelfed seems solid. The glaring issue though is that none of my friends use it, so it's just a personal photo for now, but hopefully that will change.

I've been on ethical alternatives for social media for a while and the one thing missing is just everyone I know
-
I tried to create an account days ago and never got a confirmation email, which server did you make your account?
-
That's a "in case of emergency" situation for me, personally.
-
Hitching on the wagon that Pixelfed is leading is good. There's a lot of talk even from those who don't care about FOSS, or Fediverse projects. Let's give some credit and let things slide so the whole can succeed.
-
Yeah, I don't mind Pixelfed getting attention at all. It's just that I don't trust Forbes, and this article seems to want to muddy the waters.
-
Well it sure benefited a lot of new tech projects and companies.
-
Metapixl and signup was instant for me.
-
And the ads... There is a correlation there I'm sure.
-
Their rationale was that SMS is not secure and having something not secure on their app was damaging.
-
Yvan eht noij!
-
MastaDon is the new TruthSocial app.
-
This right here.
Look at the objective. The objective is to kill corporate sponsered social media. Well what better way to do that then by normalizing non corporate social media in the minds of the masses?

I'm in need an open source and ethical Amazon alternative. Any ideas? It seems like every website I can order a box of varied goods from (Amazon, Walmart, Target) is owned by somebody who sucks off Trump on demand while somehow ending up paying Trump for it too.
