The one thing I don't quite get about the #Fediverse is why we even need different software. For example, why can't #Pixelfed just be another - more sophisticated - frontend for #Mastodon?
... finally moving from insta to #pixelfed because, well, Meta's announcement about using insta 'content' (I hate that term so much!) to train their creepy generative AI was the last straw. Yes, it SAYS you can petition for them to not use your stuff, but... do you honestly believe they'll back off? Nah. #fuckzuck2024
"Cox said that Emu can make “really amazing quality images” thanks to “Instagram being the data set that was used to train it” which he described as “one of the great repositories of incredible imagery.”"
This is a great reason for people to switch over to alternatives like #Pixelfed
The nice thing about Pixelfed/Mastodon is that I often open it to post something, yet end up spending an hour or more looking at the amazing, invariably uplifting, informative, positive and uniquely human content that's being shared, before remembering, 'right, I wanted to post this one photo'. That never happen{s|ed} on other social media. #pixelfed#Mastodon
Ho deciso di riprendere in mano #pixelfed che è decisamente migliorato rispetto all'anno scorso e mi farebbe piacere condividere i miei scatti/disegni/scemate con il fediverso.
