i was wondering if there was a decent pinterest/we heart it app for the fediverse? i love making aesthetic pinboards and it would be nice to do without being on pinterest (which i believe is facebook)

    hello internet friend.

    aesthetic does not mean nice looking. a pleasing aesthetic is nice looking. a displeasing aesthetic is not nice looking.

    they way you are using the word is like describing a cold beer as ‘very temperature’, or a fast car as ‘many speed’

    alas i do not know the answer to your question, i’m merely here as in online pedant. thank you for your attention. carry on.

      Aesthetic in this case is an adjective not a noun. Aesthetic pinboard means the pinboard’s purpose is visual. Basically style over substance (not in a negative way)

      Literally a quick google search of the definition of “aesthetic” would have saved you the embarassment.

      “Adjective: 1. concerned with beauty or the appreciation of beauty.”
