I only see download links for Android and iOS. Can't people join via the web browser?

Also, I can't find a link to the source code, which is slightly suspicious.

No browser version at the moment.
No idea about the source code to be honest

@mfranchi

Maybe better take a look at #pixelfed then?

@monnett looks like a VC grabbing scheme to me. One of their directors, Arnold Spruit, is also director of various #BlackRock #property funds.

Is this really about #privacy, or is it #eurowashing, i.e. riding on the wave of #digitalSovereignty? Why do they hide their source code?

And why are they in LU, which is well-known for lowest taxes of the #EU. Coincidence?

Maybe I'm too questioning. Sorry!

@debacle @monnett no need to apologize! To be fair, I’m just a photographer who was looking for a European photo sharing app. Didn’t go that deep into these points.

@mfranchi @debacle @monnett I agree that #Pixelfed is definitely likely the better choice here.
