- 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.
Still no android app so it’s a pass from me
