Pixelfed, a decentralized alternative to Instagram, has launched its official mobile apps. The service today runs on the same ActivityPub protocol that powers open source X alternative Mastodon, YouTube competitor PeerTube, and other decentralized social apps, now including Meta’s Threads and Flipboard (plus its newer app, Surf), that are part of a growing push toward a more open social web known as the fediverse.

    Is it part of the fediverse or is it just another silo using the same technology?

    The Pixelfed apps are free to use and do not collect any user data.

    That’s a sound for sore ears.
