I don't think 41 states realise that kids wouldn't touch Facebook if you forced them. Instagram on the other hand...
What do you think of Pixelfed?
The next thing people will hate as soon as it gets popular enough.
probably less addictive though, due to no algorithm that pushes things to make you keep scrolling. and of course no ads.
... Yet
there's almost a thousand Pixelfed instances at the moment, as far as I know none of them being owned by a for-profit company. would be pretty difficult to convince all the admins to start running ads on theirs.
Ughh, so exhausting. Im so goddamn tired of social media and all this stuff. Soon imma take a digital retreat. Only streaming on the silver screen
