@dansup wow! that is actually crazy

@dansup Somehow Mastodon is not blocked anymore: https://nitter.net/LinuxUserGD/status/1667668356479025156

@dansup @pixelfed dick move from them both

@dansup works in the IG app, though

@dansup John Pixelfed?

@dansup The link is effectively harmful...for their monopoly.

@dansup ...and Linkedin?

@dansup It’s crazy how petty they are! They know they can only work if they’re a monopoly and will fight dirty to kee it that way.

@dansup antitrust needs to step in this is ridiculously

@dansup

The only incorruptible design award: counterproductive incompetently-executed meddling from a market leader that now puts more effort into lobbyists and PR than a product for serving a user.

Congratulations!

@dansup insane. Not surprising, but insane. I love the Fediverse alternatives. I’m not on Pixelfed since I’m not much of a photo guy. Never really used Instagram either

@dansup But that's awesome!
It means it's something worth blocking

@dansup Looks more like the type of Elon crap he wants to block from his platform.

@dansup You can currently search #joinPixelfed on Instagram and find some hits, but it is a suspiciously low number. It says "fewer than 100" and displays a lot fewer than that. So, perhaps partial blocking?

@dansup Streissand Effect! Had no idea what pixelfed was until I saw posts like yours

@dansup At the same time this company are supposedly creating something that will federate?

I think that tells us all we need to know.

@dansup
"First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they attack you. Then you win."

Long live Pixelfed and Fediverse!

@dansup @anildash They’re scared, plain and simple.

@dansup this made me go discover that pixelfed has an official app in beta now https://pixelfed.org/mobile-apps

@dansup Damn, seems like the fediverse is big enough that big tech companies are already worrying! #Fediverse for the win!
