@pixelfed Mark is doing his Elon !

@pixelfed haha! Gonna post it there just to check/annoy some moderation bots xd

@pixelfed poor Instagram 😅

@pixelfed The Fediverse is slowly gaining momentum in mainstream media*, so a very good ActivityPub Instagram alternative (that they didn't create themselves) can seem very scary for Meta executives.

* The biggest public broadcaster in the world, ARD, just launched their Mastodon instance https://ard.social/

@pixelfed
They've got some cheek, given how appalling their interface is, and how it seems to get worse every day.

All I want is something ad-free - or at least with far fewer ads - and the option to view my timeline in reverse chronological order.

And they wonder why people are looking to change?!

@pixelfed oh wow, it just pretends nobody ever used the hashtag!

@pixelfed Quote: "Go back to Instagram"

@pixelfed@mastodon.social Just loaded it now, they're saying it's only been used once now, and blaming it on user reports, here's a screenshot I took

RE: https://calckey.social/notes/9ejozf6t6g

@pixelfed not blocked for me (20:43 GMT+10)

@pixelfed wow..... 😑😑😑

Yeah, keep trying to suppress competing platforms.

@pixelfed Here still available, for me I hope Pixelfed can replace Flickr

@pixelfed Don't worry. It's also happened to Mastodon and Twitter.

@pixelfed @matthiasott Those look like Instagram's overly-aggressive unauthenticated rate limit pages. The tag page loads up just fine if you're signed in to Instagram.

Makes for a solid viral story, though!

@pixelfed there's no way back now

@pixelfed@mastodon.social Hopefully some LGBTQ friendly servers show up, I'd be interested in joining for sure.

@pixelfed I thought Zuckerberg hated Musk

@pixelfed the hashtag is working regularly.

Truth is there are only six photos with that hashtag.

@pixelfed
Yeah, not broken any more but showing only seven posts for me

@pixelfed something literally impossible from the Fediverse. When will people will decide that they should be included in making decisions like this?

@pixelfed Thanks for the reminder to finally make an account! I deactivated my Instagram recently, but still want an outlet to share my photos.

@pixelfed Corperate Social Media doesnt want competition, to hell what we, the Customer, wants...

@pixelfed At least they didn't delete https://www.instagram.com/pixelfedorg/ :blobthinkingsmirk:

@pixelfed cuz you stole their layout? Or their users? 🤣🤪

@pixelfed Instagram mah gitu, suka ban account atau sub topik yang notabene gak ada unsur melanggar aturan. Coba deh topik hate speech, merajalela di tab explore 😊

@pixelfed Might've been a legit glitch, or else they've changed their minds. (Or it's not blocked (yet?) in Canada.)

@pixelfed I see it just fine, but there are only a few posts from six hours ago.

@pixelfed same shit was on Twitter 😉

@pixelfed

Meta is not blocking #Pixelfed.

There just aren’t enough posts to warrant a tag page.

The “joinpixelfed” hashtag returns results.

I want to like Pixelfed but you are not a threat to Instagram.

@pixelfed Works for me just fine 🤔️

@pixelfed Fuck !

@pixelfed
Nice, someone is scared. :coolmsn:

I just learned about #pixelfed with this post. Gonna create an account later today.

@pixelfed I’m getting the “only 7 posts” result. Aaaaand I just made my first (and likely only) IG post so I could add the tag. Annnnnd now it looks like there’s 8 😂

@pixelfed I can't reproduce this.

I dislike Instagram anyway, although I finally created an account again to bypass login wall and ask a question.

@pixelfed ohhh something better than instagram..thanks 😍

@pixelfed pixelfed and joinpixelfed work

@pixelfed Petty, timid little people run Big Tech.

@pixelfed not surprising by any means. Ugh, meta 🙄

@pixelfed Instagram blocked me from posting a picture of a doe that was in my yard, claiming that it contained nudity.

@pixelfed You just inspired me to open an account!

@pixelfed meta feeling some competition eh

@pixelfed Counting 9 posts now using the app / logged in.

@pixelfed
For me, the #joinpixelfed tag works, but it seems #joinpixelfedorg isn't showing up because no posts exist on that tag.
Now your platform is being represented by Sokka. 😁

@pixelfed LMAO the aggressive "Go back to Instagram."

@pixelfed congratulations, you're now officially a thorn in Instagram's backside

@pixelfed well I'm sold then

@pixelfed pretty cool that this is now considered as enough of a threat to corpos to have these reactions
