What makes this especially bad is the fact how Pixelfed is basically only one big instance which contains all the users and beeing run by someone who's not really good at responsible disclosure and generally not really friendly towards the community.
Mastodon total: 7,792,207 - biggest instance mastodon.social: 2,627,588 --> 33%.
Pixelfed total: 675,348 - biggest instance 437,361 --> 65%
- PaulHoule 2y agoI was just told that it's a big instance problem more than a small instance. Somebody else on the instance has to have a follow request approved by the victim so I can follow them without their consent, so it's not like I can make my own private instance just to violate people's privacy, see https://chaos.social/@paule/114224679955738365 https://chaos.social/@paule/114224679955738365
- paule42 2y agoYes and that's why it is especially bad since there is only one very big pixelfed instance ^^
- PaulHoule 2y agoSmall world! But really that's a Fediverse problem in general. When I joined up I came to the conclusion that it didn't make sense, from the viewpoint that I participate in social media to be visible, to join anything but the largest instance. Someone could disagree, but I think enough people would agree with that to maintain the dominance of large instances.
