Hi ! I was wondering if there is something like Pinterest, but free/open source/ethical ? Like, something that doesn’t use all our datas to train AIs, without any adds… And which is kinda like Pinterest (possibility to make boards of ideas/photos from internet). I tried Raindrop, but this is not open source as far as I know…
Serious question, what is Pinterest actually for?
Like a virtual corkboard or whatever?
As far as I can tell it’s a tool for ruining the usefulness of Google Image Search. That’s all I’ve ever seen it used for.
This is very reductive, it’s also great for finding wallpapers
My mom uses it for finding and saving recipes.
I sometimes use it for references for RPG character ideas and medieval craft projects
i used it for art reference, now i just search things up, which is significantly less convenient
reason i stopped using it is because over half of the images there nowadays are AI-generated, not useful.
I use it mainly to find inspiration for home renovations. I have big plans lol
Really you can use Pinterest to find inspiration with any project that involves some creativity.
Personally, I use it to find recipes and keep them all in one place.
My partner uses it for art/drawing inspiration and it seems good for that
i use it for more shitposting material there’s a lot of funny stuff on there
