@pixelfed Wait doesn't having this stories nonsense pretty much completely contradict the previous post about not wanting to emulate TikTok and Instagram

@hazelnot @pixelfed stories are already available on Pixelfed web as a beta feature. I think the "TikTok" part was about reels and randomness, not chronological, showing content from accounts you are not following etc.

Stories are just "posts that expire". I understand that it feeds the "urge to keep accessing the app so you don't lose content that will not be available tomorrow", but at least they are in a separate part, not "inside" the feed, so you can choose to not use/consume them at all.

@hugoboia @hazelnot @pixelfed yeah stories are different.

I still think the default should be that they expire in 3 days or more.

I think most ppl wont care as long as they disappear eventually.

@hazelnot @pixelfed I’m pretty sure PixelFed is a planned alternative to instagram? They just don’t want to include Instagram Reels/TikTok

Stories came from Snapchat originally, Instagram just took them

@grant @pixelfed I know what it is, but I feel that the only point of the stories stuff is to make people addicted to the app and to maximize profits though

@pixelfed the only thing I don't like that much is the stories profile borders. They're just too thick, make em thinner pls. idk they feel like a bad copy of ig stories.
