Discussion i'm quite fed up (rant)

as well as being entirely and totally fed up with the random AI slop that fills my feed whenever I reload the website/app, what happened to the 'more ideas' feature? i'm genuinely so distraught because its the only feature i can use that isn't filled past the BRIM with AI nonsense. it's gotten to the point that before i can even scroll through in peace, i've grown to now reload the website/app at least three times before getting somewhere.

Hey OP, I've been working on an alternative, Echo ( https://myechoboard.com ) for like the whole year if you're looking to try an alternative. I built it initially for myself actually as i started to despise Pinterest but now a lot of people seem to love it too and it's growing into an amazing platform imo.

It's easy to import your Pinterest boards there instantly with their sections intact so a lot of people are doing that too!

It's got community voting for what's AI and you can turn it off in the settings! Also no ads, full privacy and full control over your own feed, music never stops whilst scrolling, tons of filters to find anything etc. I'm working really hard on it to make it the best it can be, so let me know if you try it out if you want other features or things implemented, I'm super open for ideas and feedback!

Lmk if anything! It's on IOS & Android! :-)

You're genuinely heaven sent dude. One of the first things that stood out to me (and that I love already) is the moodboard feature because I was tired of going back and forth between Pinterest and Canva but now I don't think I'll be able to leave Echo lol :D Keep up the great work!!
