Feels like they’re still figuring out how they want to do this, themselves. Every now and then i’ve been visiting the art themed pixelfed to follow people with mbin, and the explore page is sometimes there and sometimes not.

Probably better to use a more general community for the time being, yeah

It might be nice to have a community or something where people link interesting blog posts or blogs. Maybe there is one? (plz share the link if there is!) I always used to find new blogs from people who did like weekly good post round-ups.

just read it as ‘flow market,’ realized it was german, and looked up the word. it doesn’t look weird at first glance.

I thought the cropping was just because the op was making a 69 joke

i’m curious, too. the vague idea i got was that the app just launched, people are pissed at meta, and the word pixelfed was banned on a site, causing a Streisand effect. i could just be spreading rumors, though.

I recently adopted a pet, and I keep wondering which new social media can replace what facebook offers to animal shelters and other charity orgs. Like, so long as they get that stream of donations, adoptions, and volunteers directly from facebook, they aren’t leaving without hurting their #1 priority.

I think that having a choice about what instance you join and whether it’s liberal or conserative about defederating is the beauty of federation. someone might want to be on an instance that’s quick on the trigger about banning for transphobia, racism, etc, because they’re going through some shit in their lives, and later want to experience the greater variety of an instance where banning takes more consideration.

Like, I think you’re right about what you want for you, but people wanting different things and being able to get it is pretty great.

Whenever I’m reminded it exists, I go over there and find some people to follow. So, thanks!

Thanks for linking to that! Interesting. I refreshed their page and they have more to say now that it’s happened.

The guy in charge was having medical and personal issues. And doesn’t seem to have access to everything at the moment. It’s a bummer, and I hope things get better for him, but that’s how projects like this go sometimes.
