wow I hate how stuff happens on #instagram only.
there's an important political discussion on #racism and #whiteness in the #knitting community and a lot of it is on instagram.
I just learned there's a workbook against racism by layla f. saad called "me and white supremacy" and that she did a summer instagram challenge. there, instagram again. *grumpy grumpy*
but at least I can get that book!

@DialMforMara @distel I just today registered a pixelfed.social account and it looks like a really nice replacement. I'm planning a series of instagram posts to try to get some of my friends to switch.. NO ADS! <-- that has to be persuasive. Also, that with instagram you're just helping make a filthy rich toxic tech bro more money. And pixelfed only has the one instance (that I know of) atm, which I think is less confusing for newbies. 🤷♀️

@DialMforMara @distel Ah cool, I'm glad to hear it's getting some adoption. Thumbnailing of photos on mastodon makes it feel less ideal for posting images.

@intherain @DialMforMara I also have an account on pixelfed.de - BUT I don't know how I can follow ppl from other pixelfed instances. I can follow people on other platforms from pixelfed but not across pixelfed instances, this is so annoying. but it's in the early stages still, so that will be fixed hopefully.

@distel @DialMforMara Yeah, I read on their GitHub page that federation is broken at the moment, and I was confused because I can follow from mastodon instances -- but I guess maybe just pixelfed to pixelfed federation is broken.

@intherain @distel There are a few instances. I have an account on admires.art where I started uploading my early Pokemon sketches and then got discouraged by how bad I was starting out
