Critical Mass

99 readers

This is one of the most unique communities of the world.

As free software enthusiasts and federated software preferers, there are many technologies out there which provide substitute for freedom harming technologies.

The purpose of this community is to create accounts on technologies better than existing ones (maybe but not necessarily ideal) and create some minimal content for creating critical mass!

You, my dear user, would essentially be becoming the reason that a technology gets used by most of the world!

  1. What current existing technology fulfills the solution? Instagram.
  2. Name of your technology. PixelFed
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
