yeah i read that, they argued that not showing all content would be "dishonest" of some social media platforms, and that's bad.

like, pixelfed only shows content from the fediverse that contains at least 1 image. everything else is just not shown. and that's "dishonest" because it does not accurately depict everything that the social media account actually posts.

thing is, the fediverse is what we make it, and we can make whatever the fuck we want with it, including filtering posts about whether they contain an image or not. and only showing posts that contain an image. if users want that type of system, it's possible to implement it.
