Pixelfed, Instagram's decentralized competitor, is now on iOS and Android


Open source, decentralized image-sharing platform Pixelfed is now available as a mobile app for both iOS and Android.

The platform runs on ActivityPub, the same protocol that powers several other decentralized social networks in the fediverse, such as Mastodon and Flipboard. Many Instagram users have been seeking out alternatives to the Meta-owned platform after the company said it would eliminate third-party fact checking and revised its "Hateful Content" policy to allow denigrating comments against women and trans people, among other changes. Meta also blocked some links to Pixelfed on Facebook, treating them as spam and deleting those posts.
