Blog posts don't belong on photo sharing platforms, IMO

[dansup@mastodon.social]

@rwaschbaer @pfefferle We are an island of photo centric posts, if you want a micro/macro-blogging platform, use something else.

[rwaschbaer@punkstodon.de]

WRONG! You are part of the fediverse so it's key, that interaction between all the plattforms and needs are possible!

@dansup @pfefferle I’m pretty sure that’s how my partner primarily uses instagram. It’s carousels of headlines and infographics with a long-ish discussion in the description. That’s medicine instagram though, not sure how much that applies to other bubbles

[dansup@mastodon.social]

@rwaschbaer @pfefferle thats pretty entitled of you, and you are wrong, its up to the creator of each platform to set the boundaries as they wish.

Perhaps you should build your own?

@dansup @pfefferle
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?????

[arnodegroote@mastodon.social]

@rwaschbaer @dansup @pfefferle just to add my two cents: when I want to read a lot of text, I don't go to Pixelfed. just like I didn't bother about lots of text on Instagram. imo Pixelfed is a platform with an emphasis on images. there are other platforms for text-based posting

(orignal conversation delete bei @dansup, so here's my reply anway)

so you DO deliberatly decide to cut posts that do not suit your idea of your plattform, thereby making a mockery of the whole idea of the federation of plattforms, am I getting this right?

[pfefferle@mastodon.social]

@arnodegroote @rwaschbaer @dansup As I wrote in my initial toot, this is not about the text, but the posts that have a lot of nice images. a platform like pixelfed can still only use the summary!

[aarrjaay@mstdn.social]

@dansup @pfefferle lets bring photos and images back to the photoverse and leave it at that. The photoverse is for photos (and images) - it's on the name. There are other places to share video, keep them there.

[rwaschbaer@punkstodon.de]

Yes sure, but be that as it may, the whole idea of the federation is another! Then pixelfed should defederate and just be a standalone plattform, because none of their users is interested in the rest of the fedivers, as it seems... am I getting this right?

@pfefferle @rwaschbaer @dansup I can get behind a summary, yes, but don't need a whole bible in the caption hahaha

[pfefferle@mastodon.social]

@arnodegroote @rwaschbaer @dansup ironically if I use `Note`, it is already possible to publish long form text to pixelfed in the same way it is already possible on mastodon.
