Gregory's ServerInstagram blocked the #joinPixelfed hashtag not long ago, and Twitter too.
Don't forget that ๐

 @dansup Somehow Mastodon is not blocked anymore: https://nitter.net/LinuxUserGD/status/1667668356479025156   @dansup the Instagram tag still shows up for me. Not many posts for #joinpixelfed, but 1,000+ posts for #pixelfed.
[DATA EXPUNGED]
 The only incorruptible design award: counterproductive incompetently-executed meddling from a market leader that now puts more effort into lobbyists and PR than a product for serving a user. Congratulations! Next time you feel a need to write any kind of "works for me!" message or write a dismissal of LLM criticism as equivalent to an ostrich figuratively sticking its head in the sand, please just wax off half of each eyebrow and then share a selfie online. You'll get more attention, I promise. @dansup insane. Not surprising, but insane. I love the Fediverse alternatives. Iโm not on Pixelfed since Iโm not much of a photo guy. Never really used Instagram either  @dansup You can currently search #joinPixelfed on Instagram and find some hits, but it is a suspiciously low number. It says "fewer than 100" and displays a lot fewer than that. So, perhaps partial blocking?  @not2b @dansup However, you can find 1000+ posts under #pixelfed #pixelfederation . What I give Insta credit for are the really good filters for photo/video editing.  @dansup At the same time this company are supposedly creating something that will federate? I think that tells us all we need to know.  @dansup Long live Pixelfed and Fediverse! @dansup this made me go discover that pixelfed has an official app in beta now https://pixelfed.org/mobile-apps @dansup Damn, seems like the fediverse is big enough that big tech companies are already worrying! #Fediverse for the win! @dansup |
@dansup reddit is deleting posts mentioning lemmy too. it means the fediverse is winning.
