    Funny thing, Pixelfed isn’t even a competitor to Instagram in the very very strictest sense.

    Pixelfed is a federated service for posting photos.

    Instagram started out as a service for posting photos, but it has become this… thing. I don’t even know anymore.

      You don’t even see photos anymore. It is 99% videos at this point.

      A misinformation-peddling service for the oligarchy?

      but it has become this… thing.

      It’s very appropriate to call Instagram now… a thing. The site just became something to post bragadacious, fake rich lifestyle photos, people wanting to become meme themselves, or scantily clad girls looking for attention for themselves if not for their OnlyFans.

        bragadacious. I learneded a new english today.

        Err I mean. Obviously I already knew the word and it’s meaning, and even how to say it. I know a lot of words. People always comment on how many words I know. Im just really smart, to be honest.
