Comment on Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?

Doesn’t the long blog simply got truncated to 500 characters and link you to the original content? Which is very not user friendly

Not necessarily, no - it depends on how it is federated, and I believe the settings of the Mastodon instance. For example @blog federates blog posts in full length, while @feed based on Ghost only gives a lead paragraph.

So it is all over the place it’s so chaotic and confusing for people

Terence Eden just wants as many people as possible to read what he writes with as much ease as possible, so he federates the full content. 404 Media wants people to visit their site, and some of the content is behind a paywall, so they keep the content on site. Different needs. Not very complicated.
