Good!!!

It’s on the web

Vernissage is a PixelFed competitor and will be open and support ActivityPub too. IMO I prefer it over PixelFed due to how PF’s creator acts at times.

No

I laughed so fucking hard at this quote. It’s perfect.

Oooh, this is new to me. I’m going to give TasteDive a look. Thanks!

Link plex to your last.fm account so it scrobbles and then let LZ auto-import every 30 min from last.fm. Thats the simplest way.

Koito is fantastic. I’m so ready to dump Maloja but won’t yet until Koito gets an official stable build. Multi-scrobbler is a lifesaver.

Looks interesting but explicitly says it’s “alpha software “ and hasn’t been updated in five years. I’d be weary of using something like this in such a critical situation.

Crazy that nobody has mentioned Mona. It’s Fantastic and endlessly customizable.

I’ve been on Pixelfed for a long while and never did I ever think “If I follow someone, I want to see their text-only posts.” Why? Because it’s an image sharing platform. It’s specifically designed to show images and that’s fine with me.

I feel like this article is trying to stir up some controversy where there isn’t any.

Thanks for reading and for the feedback!

My goal with the series is to start small and make it digestible for people to see they can make simple changes that make big results. I 100% agree there’s hurdles and more points to make, which is why I decided to write it as a series.

The goals I have is to show we don’t need to be dependent on the apps themselves, alternatives exist (fediverse, RSS, etc), and yes AdBlockers and recognizing dark patterns. To me, it’s a slow burn for people to see the way they hate the way things are can be changed, but IMO it has to be presented in pieces that don’t feel like a massive overhaul.

If anyone is looking for a great wallpaper app that supports a good company, Wallaroo from Icon Factory is absolutely fantastic and supports good devs that have made great software for a long time.

AFAIK Anubis is a bot checker and not a caching service.
