Going to drop the discord link here in case it got buried on our profile and folks are interested in joining- especially since I (Pod) have done a spectacularly poor job of posting updates consistently here on bsky:)

The people behind the usernames are saying enough is enough. We want a place where your voice matters, on a platform that believes above all else community is what social media is about. If this resonates with you, join us on discord to start building a new way forward. discord.gg/dFHkDuVK
Talk is cheap, actions show intent: Imgcat has already registered as a non-profit, brought on a team of seasoned moderators from multiple sites to build a community focused framework, and begun building a network of like-minded groups rejecting the relentless enshitification of the web.
Our approach is not just a new website, but a user-led community and sustainable non-profit business structure that keeps us honest and transparent. The ImgCat ethos is: do better, because you deserve respect, and a warm & welcoming community that we can all call home.
Ever been so disillusioned by how a site treats its users that you share a post about a project you started, and a month later it has become a grassroots effort to reshape what it means to be a social media platform?
