@lupacescu We understand Stories aren't for everyone.

Users will be able to disable the Story Carousel in the App Settings so you will never see them!

In addition, instance admins will be able to disable the Story feature, we think this gives the best of both worlds without sacrificing user preferences.

@pixelfed @lupacescu While I personally don't understand the point of stories, I think it's a good thing to have. We want everyone on the #Fediverse, including younger people. They might be used to it or even expect a story feature to be there.

@pixelfed I actually have the opposite issue: I was actually looking for something like Stories on the beta app and didn’t see any obvious way to find them, and I’m not seeing anything in the settings for that as yet.

When you say users “will be able to” choose to see them or not, does that mean it’s a feature that hasn’t yet been implemented in the app?

@reay
Well yeah, @pixelfed said it is "shipping soon" so it shouldn't be implemented yet

@Quilly @pixelfed Right. But despite shipping soon, it's in beta testing and a lot of functionality is present and works, so making sure I was understanding their post I replied to. :)
