@pixelfed Oh no, another app who is implementing this useless features only a handful people use in other apps.

And I don't even ask why, because the answer would be: "Other do it, we do it, too!"

Why even bothering to create a picture and upload it, if it gets deleted after 24 hours?

The picture can't be interesting at all! It's just another feature to say "It's appreciated to puke into the internet".

What a waste of resources!

btw. I thought #fediverse apps wanted to be a little bit more different from the data collecting originals and it's about the people and the social aspect and not about mindlessly consuming...

@utopify_org @pixelfed I am managing public accounts on Insta. Stories have two advantages. Being time-limited they are good for daily posts that get deleted once they are irrelevant. This is much better than plastering a feed with info that needs to be deleted manually. Time saver. Stories are a the primary way to reach followers. While feed posts are good for general long-term content that is more discoverable and permanent beyond your community.

@yuliyan @pixelfed Can you name examples, where posts are irrelevant within 24 hours? Okay, if you have a news channel, I would understand it... but else?

I really don't understand why I should follow someone, who is literally producing videos for the trash bin? It already is a sign the content is garbage!

Seriously, I don't understand how you can reach followers with this?

@utopify_org I used IG stories to capture moments in time via a picture with music. It was a cool way to put a pin on my current mood.

@dusnm Do I understand it right, that you create something like a video clip with music for yourself, which can be deleted after 24h and which shows your mood at this particular moment?

@utopify_org Pretty much.

@dusnm Wouldn't it be even good to have all of this data combined in a single video clip, which reflects a whole week or month to get a summary of your mood and to see how you can improve it?

I don't know how your clips looked like, but it sounds odd to delete art after 24h.

@utopify_org I don't think I want to use that to analyze anything. It's just a way to express creativity in a way that's designed to be ephemeral.
