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…

I’ve recently installed karakeep (previously hoarder) for collecting images and idea boards. I haven’t had time to play around with it so much can’t say what it’s like, but it came up a lot in other discussions of Pinterest alternatives. Also, you need to o selfhost, but if you want something free and not funded by ads, that’s pretty much a given.
Tbh, I also don’t know if it’s FOSS, but it is free to use and if you self host you can control its access.
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 partner uses it for art/drawing inspiration and it seems good for that
My mom uses it for finding and saving recipes.
I sometimes use it for references for RPG character ideas and medieval craft projects
Personally, I use it to find recipes and keep them all in one place.
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’m thinking you’re already on it.
But have you checked out bluesky?
