So what’s the ActivityPub version of Pinterest? Looks like it will be in demand soon.

Reports Suggest That OpenAI May Be Looking to Acquire Pinterest

Rumors are swirling that the AI company may be interested in the platform as part of a data push.

@box464@mastodon.social Pixelfed, probably.

[julian@activitypub.space]

@box464@mastodon.social whatever it is I am sure it can be built with Fedify or Emissary

[phillycodehound@indieweb.social]

@julian @box464 Yea, Pinterest has got a slop problem

[sascha@bonn.social]

@box464 @Sascha There was once Pinetta in development. https://codeberg.org/pinetta/pinetta

[squeakypancakes@sunbeam.city]

@box464 its been a slophole for a while now and they dont seem to care so much

[danslerush@floss.social]

@box464 Not federated but there is the selfhostable #Pinry › https://pinry.github.io/pinry/

[box464@mastodon.social]

@squeakypancakes Slop in, slop out.

At some point, people stop posting it's just going to be AI consuming AI.

[box464@mastodon.social]

@Sascha No code. There are a few bookmark AP platforms that might fit the bill with a different UI layout.

[gargron@mastodon.social]

@box464 I’m still not sure what Pinterest does besides pollute Google search results

[box464@mastodon.social]

@Gargron It replaced teens creating collages for mood / inspiration boards. Maybe it would be better if they want back to them. The rubber glue companies would love it.

@liaizon @box464 I've been preferring are.na to pinterest for a while but they're not open source either! I'm considering switching to https://karakeep.app/ which is not federated but does have RSS feeds

[liaizon@social.wake.st]

@Trav @box464 are.na used to actually be floss not sure how much of the current version is tho https://github.com/aredotna/

they started from the open source backend code from art.sy

[thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange]

@box464 Piefed's gallery view is the closest approximation I know of.

Pinetta was more directly focused trying to be a Pinboard alternative hasn't been updated in a couple of years.
