I find myself missing the Pinterest of antiquity, before the rampant enshittification took hold. Is there a self-hosted Pinterest-alike, or perhaps a Fediverse analogue?

#Pinterest UPDATE:
They've removed all the pins I requested, and also let me know they have a Content Claiming Portal, which enables artists to find copies of their copyrighted work on Pinterest
I had no idea this feature existed! Sounds a whole lot easier than trying to hunt down all the offending pins manually.
Here's the application form: https://help.pinterest.com/en-gb/article/get-started-with-the-content-claiming-portal
If you want to request for your artwork to be removed from Pinterest so it can't be used to train their AI, feel free to copy & adapt this text of the email I've sent to them: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L8oW4QYN-iIYXWbvq9g-bTCbuRBn-R-25jIivcn37KU/edit?usp=drivesdk
They acknowledged my request and asked for confirmation that I really, really want all the pinned images deleted. I'm still waiting for the pins to be actually gone.
The process may be faster if you have an account with claimed domains, but it's not required.
Meta and Pinterest believed to have donated to Molly Russell charity https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/apr/05/meta-and-pinterest-donated-to-uk-internet-safety-charity-say-reports #Internetsafety #Digitalmedia #Socialmedia #Youngpeople #Technology #Pinterest #Charities #Children #Internet #Society #Media #Meta
Stretching the definition of "Secret" here.
Bet their PR depts are chuffed that such a secret has been uncovered.

dear #DuckDuckGo or other search engine: I want a little button next to every #search result that lets me exclude it from all search results for me, personally, forever. With an option to block the entire domain.
I'm definitely looking at #pinterest but there's just a lot of #AI slop out there. Tons of AI-generated websites. Even without the AI search "helper" things, I get a lot of shit that is just really low quality.
I don't think I see this witih DDG (there is a "give feedback" button with unclear effects on my personal search experience) and I'm not familiar with many other search engines now (except google and no). But if there's something out there that already has this functionality, I'll be happy to check it out and happy for the referral.
Ein weiterer Schritt mit der Löschung bei #Pinterest erledigt. #unplugtrump
¿Había muerto #pinterest? Parece ser que no. Para noctámbulos y cuenta ovejitas, os comparto mi pin con una de mis creaciones literarias. Disfrutad de #lectura pin.it/1fCbxlzHq
Pin on Mis libros
So, heute habe ich auch meinen Account bei #Pinterest gelöscht. Jetzt müssen wir nur noch für mehr #Nähcontent im #Fediverse sorgen. Seid ihr dabei? #Nähen #NähenIstWieZaubernKönnen
I don't know what it is these does on #pinterest, but its been absolutely lagging my computer's resources.
Qué problema: #CostaRica no tiene neutralidad de red.
Todos los proveedores de telefonía celular ofrecen planes que subsidian #whatapp #facebook #instagram #waze #x o #pinterest
Esto hace que gente con pocos recursos o los que pasan sus vidas endeudadas estén más inclinados a usar estos servicios y de esta manera se hacen más fuertes las companías.
Cuesta mucho hoy día en CR no tener el whatsapp o facebook.
Es hora que nos hagamos indepiententes de estos servicios. Hasta ahora solamente han estado vendiendo nuestros datos. Y a mi nunca me han preguntando si estuviera de acuerdo con que suban mi contacto junto con el resto de la libreta a whatsapp.
Lo que ahora pasa es que los fascistas en el poder en #EEUU van a usar estos datos para acabar con cualquiera que no les haga caso o que no les caiga bien.
Admás, puede que el día de manyana paren los servicios para país X.
Hay buenas alternativas:
#Signal #threema #matrix
Y que dejen de hacer estas ofertas los proveedores.

I've reached this point where I know Big Tech is useless unless I can free it from corporate greed with Linux and GrapheneOS.
Big Tech is like digital colonialism, siphoning creativity and exploiting consumers for profit while deepening inequality. These corporations treat individuals as mere resources in their relentless pursuit of profit.
Platforms like TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and all those other platforms are just tools for Big Tech to exploit us. They're trash.
When will you stand up against their exploitation? Look at the harm they cause!

Whelp I just looked at #Pinterest for the first time in ages and it is absolutely fucked. AI-generated shite everywhere. I now have a headache.
I'm glad I kept all my reference books from before the internet became an easily available research resource. Books are going to replace the internet again for specialist research like costume design etc. Those fields are dead as far as using the internet for research is concerned. We've just shat in the well.
