And those are just the instances that show up. Nice!
325,000 users? Had no idea.
does anyone know why this sudden uptick?
Combo of terrible moderation rules changes by meta, the release of the pixelfed app on Android and iOS, and coverage of that app by major tech news outlets.
Along with people being unhappy with Meta, and the looming TikTok ban, Pixelfed just now released apps for it.
Meta has changed their ToS. Prior, you could not accuse someone of being mentally ill without consequence. Now there is an exception allowing shitty people to accuse someone of being mentally ill if they are gay or trans. It's seriously fucked up.
Also, Mark Zuckerberg, the ostrich fucker, removed the fact checker from Meta services.
The heard "someday" there will be Groups...
I still can't get a loops account.
nothing much on there from what I've seen, has potential though
It still doesn't have a webapp that was supposed to ship weeks ago. The android app is buggy, laggy and doesn't allow direct capture from the camera. I'd say loops is not ready yet.
hmmm.. I never tried out pixelfed. I will now.
edit: oauth not working :/
