Pixelfed just overtook Lemmy as the 4th most used Fediverse software.

Does anyone have recommendations who to follow on pixelfed?

It's a reach that something can be interpreted as it was stated?

I can retrospect. Hopefully you can too because I'm going to hold up the mirror. All of the following is your thinly veiled actions (plausible deniability anyone?).

First, thinly veiled, you likened me stating people misinterpreted my question to how people are banned typically after really going off on mods. Whether you agree or not on people misinterpreting a question, those things are miles apart. Second, you, thinly veiled again, likened me to Musk. Do I need to explain the negativity of that association? Third, you, again thinly veiled, essentially said I was covering making rapist comments by trying to have plausible deniability. Fourth, you, again thinly veiled, essentially said I was covering making rapist comments by saying I was trying to be clever about it. And the doozy, fifth. Again thinly veiled, you liken me to people talking about the third Reich. Like wow. If that Nazi connotation from Elon wasn't enough, you really pulled out a doozy there. That is a crystal clear pattern of you attacking people by likening them to other people. All thinly veiled connotations so that you can later say you didn't actually make the connection (you know, plausible deniability). Or maybe you were doing it so that if I said anything, you could say "are you interpreting differently??" like a gotcha. I could explain that one too, maybe next time.

You took every chance you could to provoke, slap, and escalate. You are no longer trying to have a conversation when try to liken someone to Nazis, you just want to slap. Don't worry I'm not provoked. I just urge you to think about that.

And inb4 misreading I'm saying this not because I'm provoked or mad, I'm saying this because your pattern is clear. You want me to reflect, and I want you to reflect.

Grabbing that for future reference. That's the stats from 2024? Is there like a link to the actual source? Significantly more US-centered then I thought, especially since one would assume the numbers were even more skewed 5-10 years ago.

Lemmy is much more weighted towards an international userbase in my experience, which can be frustrating for the American audience at times, but also has its benefits.

It's just in early development and hasn't federated yet.

It's a separate thing from Pixelfed though. Just developed by the same guy.

Interesting to hear.

I'm super pumped for the project, but am largely waiting to get properly set up with it until there's a good app and I can on-board the friends and family all in one go. Really hoping to get them all off TikTok/YT Shorts/Reels/whatever corporate and nation run projects the kids are using these days.

Pixelfed does?

[email protected]

Have you tried it? It's in open beta. The app is already really good. I don't think it's ready for the friends and fam yet but it's worth checking out.

PieFed is highly promising, but I wish you didn't feel the need to go overboard with criticizing Lemmy. Calling Lemmy a more authoritarian version of reddit... that's a pretty wild take.

That's like calling tribal societies more authoritarian than Stalinist or fascist states. There's no such thing as low-level authoritarianism, that doesn't make any sense. The users can message the mods directly, and they can go as they wish and do as they please.

You're still stuck in the reddit mindset where there isn't anywhere else to go, everything is contained in one closed box controlled by spez. On Lemmy you can go and build your own box, and there are already dozens to choose from that are free and open to join.

Pixelix!

It's a couple bucks in the Play store or free on F-Droid.

Is this the fediverse's answer to Instagram?

Kick ass! I'm all for more Fediverse stuff getting popular, and if this has any competition, just means more features will be added across all of them.

you're comparing apples to oranges. Lemmy is for discussions pixelfed is for posting photos.

MissKey is like facebook. It's mostly Japanese users.

Peertube is like is Youtube had the same instance/decentralized format as Lemmy.

Except Lemmy actually has a functional search that you don't need to go to an external website to use. It's really broken.

Yeah dude me obviously. @[email protected]

Doesn't seem like a super reliable source. I just grabbed the first result I googled.

I got it from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1bg323c/oc_reddit_traffic_by_country_2024/

It lists worldpopulationreview.com on the image.

There this statista link which has similar numbers and sounds more detailed, but still doesn't have sources available. Google's AI points to statista.

So nothing definitive. But I certainly expect that most users are from the US.

My feed on Pixelfed is way better the second week, now that I've followed a couple dozen folks and put some posts out there.

I'd say it's Japanese, just the romaji for 太鼓の達人. English translation would be like "drum master"

[email protected]

How are you responding from masto without the @ ?

I've never seen that before

[email protected]

Thanks! I don't mind paying for something if it goes to a good place

bruhSoulz

Yes.

Instagram, pixelfed
Reddit, lemmy
Tw- X, Mastodon/Misskey/Pleroma (&forks..)
Tiktok, loops (app still super rough around the edges and sadly on limited to one instance rather than having its own software from what i understand)
Youtube, peertube (so far the least used i think)
