Open source alternatives to Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp raise funds on Kickstarter | TechCrunch
Briefly

Daniel Supernault, the developer of Pixelfed, Loops, and Sup, is raising funds on Kickstarter to enhance these open-source social media apps. As part of the growing fediverse, these projects utilize ActivityPub, similar to Mastodon, which gained popularity following social media shifts after major ownership changes. Meta's launch of Instagram Threads signals recognition of this trend. Supernault aims for his apps to lead the fediverse with a target of one billion users, despite ongoing development hurdles, including recent launches and testing phases.
"Help us put control back into the hands of the people!" said Daniel Supernault, emphasizing the movement towards decentralized social media.
Supernault wants his apps to reach a billion users in the fediverse, although significant development challenges remain.
