It does help with it though

For profit platforms have more of an incentive to keep the bots going, for engagement reasons. Non profit managed ones should want to get rid of such bots?

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

Part of the problem is that pixelfed feeds are public, and in order for private posts/feeds to work you'd need the other user to be on the same instance as you

Signal has stories, although I don't see many people using them. If more people were on signal, it might get more use?

The headline could have left some more nuance to the topic, but hopefully it's still helpful as a place to start discussions

I love how the channel is dedicated to just this experiment

Interesting ok, I hope the donations take off because it felt like the team was spreading itself too thin working on all three things at once

Didn't know about sup

Open source, modular, instant messenger. Coming soon! Made by @dansup (Proof: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/111493816842232424)

A big downside to fediverse messaging is that it isn't secure, and so we're warned when using it. Would anyone have more details on why we might use this over a more private messenger?

Such great camouflage

HCH₂COOH sounds like a sneeze

I just checked, and it's only the link in the post body

It has a period at the end, and so my client opened an error page. I can see it now :)

Oh I see the issue

The link in the post is fine, the link in the post body goes to a "page doesn't exist or has been deleted" message because of the period at the end

Looks like the thread is gone now, what was the discussion like?
