      Never heard of pixelfed and I’ve been holding off on joining Instagram.

      Thanks to the Streisand effect, I now have a new app to try.

      Exactly … and its good Meta is showing their hand early rather than later … the more unfederated they act, the more likely they’ll leave the fediverse ecosystem.

    There weren’t consequences of Twitter blocking mastodon, nor Reddit blocking lemmy, so I expect nothing will happen here either.

    When the platforms see their users as chattel you should leave.

      No no, we’re all misunderstanding what they mean by “free speech.” It’s not free as in “freedom”, but free as in air: you don’t directly pay them money to use their platform, much like you don’t yet have to directly pay our corporate overloads for the privilege of breathing oxygen.

      It has basically the same limitations that lemmy-mastodon has. Pixelfed users can follow lemmy communities to see posts in their timelines. They can see top level comments as replies and can also reply to create top level comments. Lemmy users can’t follow pixelfed accounts in any way.

      It works with Mastodon, which can interact with Lemmy, so I’ll venture it’s yes.
