I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • You might be better off looking for a community where the moderation optimizes for that kind of discussion (ex. Removing low effort comments, requiring citations, academic oriented, etc). It’s harder to find an entire instance that matches those points, but there should be a few communities like that

    Then you can use the subscribed feed only, or block the communities you don’t like










  • Well, whatsapp has stories also, but I don’t see people using them. I don’t like to give my phone number to everybody. And it is very easy if someone has a profile, to look them up and send a follow request. That stuff you won’t find with signal stories.

    That’s a good reason yea

    Though, pixelfed lacking stories should be possible to overcome right, given the protocol. If two users can handshake, and the instances accept the handshake, then they should in theory be allowed to send each other stuff. Like, in other fediverse platforms you can also send private messages

    The problem I think is that we can’t guarantee that the other federated instances will respect the private setting, or the risk that other instance admins might be snooping on the posts.

    A proper E2E solution would be ideal
