@ls I disagree, the reason they are so popular is because of the nature of the ephemeral medium.
You are more likely to share something "low quality" or more often compared to regular posts.
@dansup What ephemeral medium? The internet is not an ephemeral medium... you can't delete on the internet, especially on a federated network.
Stories may give the illusion that posts may vanish magically and nobody will see "low quality" content later, but that can be dangerous.
Personally, I don't like the viewer-side's user experience of stories either.
