I almost never look at the app store but I popped in today in the wake of the TikTok ban and was shocked to see this.

    I don’t want the content to be outside the app, I want the content to be the photos people post.

      Then don’t follow any links to outside the app… Why shouldn’t they be usable for people who want to though?

        Because it encourages gamification, advertising, malware, and illegal content.

        If you want links, use the link sharing forums.

          TIL wanting to follow a link to the website of a game that someone posted a screenshot of encourages illegal activity. Here I thought I was just using the Internet. Pixelfed should not allow text, comments or engagement at all in that case. It could lead to gamification. How dare people enjoy things differently than you want them to?
