    Funny thing, Pixelfed isn’t even a competitor to Instagram in the very very strictest sense.

    Pixelfed is a federated service for posting photos.

    Instagram started out as a service for posting photos, but it has become this… thing. I don’t even know anymore.

      Instagram started out as a camera filter app. Then you could post pictures. When I first downloaded it to my iPhone 3 it was only a filter. I was very confused when I tried it again on android years later.

      It’s very appropriate to call Instagram now… a thing. The site just became something to post bragadacious, fake rich lifestyle photos, people wanting to become meme themselves, or scantily clad girls looking for attention for themselves if not for their OnlyFans.

        I find it useful for finding local events where I live, updates from local businesses and newspapers… it’s also cool for following artists or bands I care about.

        Idk, it’s in a weird space between facebook, what twitter used to be and tiktok. It can be useful if you curate your feed right 🤷‍♂️

        bragadacious. I learneded a new english today.

        Err I mean. Obviously I already knew the word and it’s meaning, and even how to say it. I know a lot of words. People always comment on how many words I know. Im just really smart, to be honest.
