This looks like pixelization and then color reduction (to like 8 colors) with dithering





possibly with some palette editing

I totally understand what you want to achieve here. The best practice for this would be to get the Glitch app on your mobile phone and import your pictures to photoshop for further segmental edits.

For Windows or Android you can get it here Glitch App

or for ios Glitch app for IOS

You can play around and experiment with many styles.

However if you don't have a smartphone to get the apps than here are few tutorials you can imitate and experiment with.
