This post will not appear in the timeline of most Pixelfed users.

Because considered at "not pretty enough" for them (despite the great illustration by
@davidrevoy )

It worth asking the question:

Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?

@ploum Hello! I often agree with your ideas but on this one I’m not sure I get the point?

I think it’s actually great to have apps that are medium-specific? I’m not sure someone joining Pixelfed is expecting to see anything else than media posts in their feed, and Pixelfed never had the pretense of being a general microblogging platform?

If all the Fediverse platforms are generic, then they are just different UIs for the same and we loose a lot of the fun in diversity of social platforms?

@nclm @ploum Agreed. I'm on Piefed as an alternative to Reddit. You can't follow individual users, so the vast majority of content posted by Mastodon/Sharkey/Iceshrimp users is not displayed.

And that's fine, I use my Iceshrimp account for those. When I use Piefed, I expect a different format.
