Key points:

  • Cara’s Rapid Growth: The app gained 600,000 users in a week

  • Artists Leaving Instagram: The controversy around Instagram using images to train AI led many artists to seek an alternative

  • Cara’s Features: The app is designed specifically for artists and offers a ‘Portfolio’ feature. Users can tag fields, mediums, project types, categories, and software used to create their work

  • While Cara has grown quickly, it is still tiny compared to Instagram’s massive user base of two billion.

  • Glaze Integration: Cara is working on integrating Glaze directly in the app to provide users with an easy way to protect their work from be used by any AI

Yet another centralised social network. That pinky-promises they’ll never go bad.

Join now! Bring your friends! No ads! Everything’s free! We’re indie!..

Moments later… enshitification ensues.

Solves the problem for a few years until Meta buys their users and data back.

Assuming they don’t own them already as a sort of pressure valve. Yeah I’m getting that cynical.

Does it seem odd… This is a crowd that is all about “hands off muh property”. And yet they see nothing suspicious about someone giving them a free service.

Yep, this is just instagram again with a little anti ai image filter on top. And a portfolio, not a photo album !

If it’s not as interoperable as email, it belongs in the trash
