Infotograf vs Openspace.Social

Remember when you opened social media apps in 2012-2015 and just saw your friends' photos? In order? Infotograf is a photo-sharing app, built for people who miss when social media was about connecting with friends — not feeding algorithms. No algorithm means you decide what,when you see. Your feed is chronological. Posts from people you follow, in the order they shared them. When you've seen everything, we tell you. No infinite scroll, no engagement tricks, no "suggested for you." So I've brought it back and added even more with : Chronological Feed See posts from the people you actually follow, in order. No algorithm ranking content by engagement. No ads between your friends' photos. When you're caught up, you're caught up. 16 Vintage Filters Filters inspired by the golden era of photo sharing. Clarendon, Nashville, Kelvin, and more. Apply them at the intensity you want. What you see is what your friends see. Photo DNA ( beta) Every photo has a story on its back. Flip any photo to see how it was taken — camera info, time, location, weather at that moment, and which filter was applied. Photos taken in Infotograf carry a verified origin badge, so you know they're real in an age of AI-generated images. Ambient Audio Hear the moment, not just see it. Capture environmental sounds — rain on a window, a busy café, ocean waves — and attach them to your photos. Or add a voice note to tell the story behind the shot. Fediverse Connected ( baked in, toggle on-off) Infotograf speaks ActivityPub. Follow and interact with people on Mastodon, Pixelfed, and other federated platforms without leaving the app. Your social network isn't locked inside one company's walls. Direct Messages Private conversations with the people you care about. Text, photos, voice messages. Simple and direct. Privacy First No tracking. No data sold to advertisers. No facial recognition. Your photos and messages belong to you. Delete your account anytime and everything goes with it. BUILT FOR PEOPLE, NOT ENGAGEMENT Infotograf exists because I believe that social media doesn't have to be addictive to be good.I believe the best version of photo sharing already happened — we just brought it back with modern technology and an open network.

Openspace.Social is a decentralized social network built on the Fediverse. Connect, share, and follow across thousands of communities comfortably with no ads, no tracking, no algorithm working against you. WHY OPENSPACE Most social apps decide what you see, sell what they learn about you, and lock you inside their walls. Openspace does the opposite. As a Fediverse-native platform, your account can connect with people on Mastodon and other ActivityPub-compatible networks. Your data stays yours. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Build or join communities — gather around shared interests, run your own community, or contribute to others • Engage in real conversation — comment, react, and reply with people who actually want to talk • Pin the posts that matter — keep your best work or important threads at the top of your profile • Reach across the Fediverse — comment, react, and reshare content from any compatible network • Group connections into Circles — share specific posts with the right group of people, not the whole internet • Organize accounts into Lists — curate custom feeds by topic, person, or interest • Build Your Own Algorithm (BYOA) — set your own rules for what shows up. You decide what's signal and what's noise. • No ads. No tracking. — we don't sell your attention. The only data we use is what's needed to authenticate your account and keep it secure. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who wants social media to feel like a place again — not a stream of ads and outrage. Creators, hobbyists, friend groups, communities, and people who remember what social used to be.
