@chizeck @pixelfed I'm using it already and even with this i'd still opt for using a separate account / password / 2FA because that's just best practice if security is your deal in life. But i think this will help a ton of folks discover Pixelfed, make onboarding easier and as a photographer who uses it and a enjoys it, i think that's a great thing. 9 comments
@chizeck @pixelfed Hmmm, interesting. I've been using Pixelfed for a little over a month and a half now but i am entirely desktop. There should be a setting somewhere to not see NSFW content. Thus far i only had one instance where someone who uses Pixelfed to post porn (from various sites) followed me and i was not interested in connecting because of it. I'm currently using their Android app because I'm too lazy to get up and go to my desk-- I'm sure there probably is. I hope there is, at least! @chizeck @pixelfed Understandable and tbh i think Pixelfed is likely going to find a much larger userbase with mobile users than DSLR shooting folks like myself. All my uploads are done desktop because aside from preferring it, they weren't shot on a mobile device and this forces me to take extra steps, especially given i only shoot RAW format and then post process them. As Instagram gets more and more cluttered with ads, I think we will see more folks migrating over. It's.kind of maddening over there, let alone the privacy issues.  @Anya_Adora @chizeck @pixelfed I agree that it is a great alternative. But I just don’t know how to convince people on IG and threads to try pixelfed and the Fediverse instead. @saja0486 @chizeck @pixelfed Tbh i think all one can do is tell someone about an alternative and the benefits of it and drawbacks and be real about it. If that seems like something worth trying / checking out then perhaps it will happen. But some people really don't want to change much of anything in life. Social media platform choices are just one example of that. There's a certain sense of comfort even in things that are uncomfortable simply because they are known already. @Anya_Adora @chizeck @pixelfed valid points. I know that a lot of people still haven’t heard of Pixelfed or know what it is yet. But I hope more people discover it and learn about how awesome it is. |

@Anya_Adora
Hmmm yeah, that's a good point. I'm mostly 2FA on everything.
As an aside, as I was looking through Pixelfed I do wish the discover function would blur NSFW stuff. I'm all for people showing off their parts to consenting others, but it was a little early in the morning to see so much dick @pixelfed
