@dansup @PhilipKing I believe Pixelfed can take down Insta, I don't believe Mastodon can take down twitter...

 @dansup @shlee Isn’t Tumblr implementing Activity Pub? https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/21/tumblr-to-add-support-for-activitypub-the-social-protocol-powering-mastodon-and-other-apps/ Rumours of Flickr as well.  @PhilipKing @shlee Yeah but none of those are like IG, just because you can upload an image, doesn't mean it's similar. IG is where your friends are at, and where you can follow your fav celebs and orgs. Group chats, Stories, Curated Photo Feed. That's what sets it apart. Your IRL friends aren't on flickr or tumblr, or if they are, then your in the minority (and probably old) I'm old too, but I still share Stories, it's like twitter but for non-nerds @PhilipKing @shlee Age is just a number, but if you don't post stories or have snapchat, you a web 2.0 elder. Nothing wrong with that, I'm building this for my generation that use social media differently than Gen X (or older) @PhilipKing @shlee I said age is just a number, I know teens that don't use social media. Wasn't meant to be patronizing, it's just that most people don't use Stories, etc. I was trying to highlight the difference in twitter vs IG users, that's why I mentioned non-nerds. @PhilipKing @shlee I specifically said "I'm building this for my generation that use social media differently than Gen X (or older)" note the "that use social media differently" ie: stories, group chats, etc. Not going to argue with you, if you think I'm being ageist, that's on you. I've never said Pixelfed is only for young people. @dansup @shlee But Gen X or older don’t use it differently. That’s were you are being discriminatory or ageist. Edit: I’m actually really surprised that you’d have such views of people. People like different things and ageist to say that it’s related to age because you are putting people into broad categories. @PhilipKing @shlee Generally speaking, they do. Are you not aware of how Facebook is considered "for old people" by Gen Z? Anyways, you made your point about the app, I'm not going to argue with you over nothing , have a nice day! @PhilipKing @shlee Honestly I'm not sure if your being serious or sarcastic, I'm not peddling anything. You've followed me for long enough to know that respect is a fundamental value of both Pixelfed and myself. I would never be disrespectful or ageist, and if you think different, I ask you to re-read what I said and with the context I provided in my previous comments. ❤️  |
@shlee @PhilipKing Right?
There are literally no platforms as similar to IG other than Pixelfed
https://alternativeto.net/software/instagram/
Even if a new fedi photo sharing alternative arrives, either they copy Pixelfed/IG or live in our shadow, it's much easier for text based platforms - probably why there are so many twitter alternatives.
