A new Instagram-like app, UpScrolled, seems like the wrong direction:

โŒ not Free Software
โŒ app-only, no web interface
โŒ no self-hosting
โŒ not federated
โŒ seeking advertisers

Meanwhile we already have Pixelfed:

โœ… Free Software license: AGPL3+
โœ… web interface and a mobile app
โœ… self-hosting or find an existing server
โœ… part of the fediverse

We don't need a new proprietary walled garden! Grow the fediverse!

Meine Deutsch-palestinischen Freunde (ich wusste nicht dass ich so viele habe) wechseln gerade alle zu https://upscrolled.com/, mit dem Versprechen freisprechen zu kรถnnen. Ich mache mir Sorgen, dass sie nur in die nรคchste Falle laufen. Vielleicht kann man sie รผberreden, dass sie wenigstens Activity Pub einbinden.

My German-Palestinian friends (I didn't know I had so many) are all switching to https://upscrolled.com/, with the promise of being able to make free calls. I'm worried they're just walking into the next trap. Maybe we can persuade them to at least integrate Activity Pub.
