No offence, but I don't think that I would want Pixelfed to add Pinterest style features.

It just feels like, at least IMO, trying to be too many things at once.

Pixelfed should remain separate from any Pinterest alternative that the Fediverse decides upon.

Now if Pixelfed wants to add features that are inspired by Pinterest, then that's a different thing.

So far, only 4 upvotes, and two comments:

One telling me to add Misskey and Sharkey to the post, and the other one of the constant spam Gaza comments / posts.

I'd think that it would probably work better if more people posted posts about the Fediverse, than just me

Idk, this was a comment left by u/chrismessina on the r/Fediverse version of this post:

I find their explanation for why they didn’t build on open social web protocols baffling:

Why isn't UpScrolled a decentralized platform?

Because it doesn't work for what we're trying to build. UpScrolled isn't decentralized (yet) because today's open protocols (e.g., ActivityPub, AT Protocol) don't reliably deliver what we need for a mainstream, video-forward app: fast global discovery, stable search/ranking, and smooth media. In practice, these stacks still lean on centralized indexing to work well, so we're shipping the experience that works now-not a theory.

We keep things open and simple with lightweight, common-sense protections-spam/bot filtering, straightforward reporting, and consistent deletes when people remove their own content. We're building interoperable by design (clean exports, stable APIs) and will add optional bridges to open protocols as they mature, so you can reach more people without sacrificing speed or simplicity.

(They’ve since scrubbed this from their FAQ).
