What do you think of Pixelfed?

The next thing people will hate as soon as it gets popular enough.

probably less addictive though, due to no algorithm that pushes things to make you keep scrolling. and of course no ads.

there's almost a thousand Pixelfed instances at the moment, as far as I know none of them being owned by a for-profit company. would be pretty difficult to convince all the admins to start running ads on theirs.
