- What current existing technology fulfills the solution? Instagram.
- Name of your technology. PixelFed
- How is it better than current technology? It is not centralized. It is free software licensed with AGPLv3 which prevents installation of non-free apps. It can be browsed on web without login, unless the user wishes otherwise. It keeps news feed according to timeline, respects user’s privacy and doesn’t fingerprint them.
- Are there any conflict of interests? No. (6th Jan 2022)
Cons: Uses JavaScript. JS is not LibreJS friendly.
In my view it is a clear upgrade.
People’s comments and criticisms are welcome. Also, please suggest a system for feedback, i.e. to make sure that people in this community have created accounts on the technology.
You mean surpass Instagram in terms of user count? That is very optimistic.
As long as I have to search for a “sign up” button that won’t happen anytime soon.
In terms of features without using dark patterns.
