"Convicted #USCapitol rioter turns down Trump #pardon"
"Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation... I pleaded guilty because I was guilty, and accepting a pardon also would serve to contribute to their gaslighting and false narrative"
Pamela Hemphill aka "#MAGA Granny"
...she saw the #Trump government as trying to "rewrite history and I don't want to be part of that"

Interesting that Trump considers US prisons as "horrible. [...] inhumane. It's been a terrible, terrible thing".
That's one point on which he's certainly right.
How will he justify to do nothing about it ?
Or to make them worse ?

I was never very interested in Instagram so I don't need to replace it. But I know some people who might. Before I encourage this, some very important question.
What is the porn situation on these? It might be unfair but my impression of all alternative image-sharing platforms is they exist primarily for the benefit of furies and hentai fans. There might be other stuff as well but like on tumblr porn was kind of the backbone. Is it like that?
or is there a viable way in a SFW fashion should you choose, and still have lots of content?

in reply to pelespirit • • •There is a procedure for migrating profiles and posts to new instances, if the old instance is still up.
And on the admin side, there's established time frames and grace periods for server closures. Barring a big disaster, you'll have time to move your stuff.

in reply to Blaze (he/him) • • •What I notice is that people really like the 'my story' functionality of instagram. It's a nice way to share some random stuff, without it being on the internet 'exposed forever and for everybody'. And you can share also something with only close friends, or just followers, etc
I really hate zuck, but I don't think pixelfed has such a functionality yet, right? I feel that, or just something similar, is sort of a main key to getting people make a transition from instagram.
Bluesky/mastodon transition is going pretty well though

in reply to ggwithgg • • •Otter
in reply to ggwithgg • • •Part of the problem is that pixelfed feeds are public, and in order for private posts/feeds to work you'd need the other user to be on the same instance as you
Signal has stories, although I don't see many people using them. If more people were on signal, it might get more use?
ggwithgg
in reply to Otter • • •Well, whatsapp has stories also, but I don't see people using them. I don't like to give my phone number to everybody. And it is very easy if someone has a profile, to look them up and send a follow request. That stuff you won't find with signal stories.
Though, pixelfed lacking stories should be possible to overcome right, given the protocol. If two users can handshake, and the instances accept the handshake, then they should in theory be allowed to send each other stuff. Like, in other fediverse platforms you can also send private messages
Otter
in reply to ggwithgg • • •That's a good reason yea
The problem I think is that we can't guarantee that the other federated instances will respect the private setting, or the risk that other instance admins might be snooping on the posts.
A proper E2E solution would be ideal

in reply to ggwithgg • • •Usage levels is depends on different community.
At least in Indonesia and other SEA countries, WhatsApp stories has widespread usage.
All of my family (especially older ones) are regularly share things there, even just saying "Good Morning" or their daily activities.

in reply to ggwithgg • • •Thank you for voicing this opinion. The fact so much of the fediverse is just public just makes it impossible to sell for real identity social media.
Really curious why the community in the fediverse hardly talks about it.
I'm really holding out hope for someone to pickup Futo Circles or something else that's an e2ee replacement for Facebook / Instagram.

in reply to FeelThePower • • •Me too, the second one shows up, or PixelFed gets e2ee implemented, I would seriously start asking people to join.
Until then, what's the point? (Unless you want to share publically)

in reply to Blaze (he/him) • • •nasi_goreng
in reply to corroded • • •Here's an idea: Some people enjoy sharing things for close friends and family with a single post. Also helps building lost connection. There are already private Pixelfed instance for close family only.
SMS and email only works for single or small group interaction.

You can use it as a tool, without being addicted or dependant on it.
