   This is wildly skewed. My social connections are so much more interesting when I have pictures, video and interaction. I like text, but it's a cool medium.

   Also, poll Toots are officially the bronze medalist most popular Toots!

     My favourite Toots are pictoots. I never get to vote in these polls, though!

     @evan Got yourself a :pixelfed: Pixelfed account yet? Or following some of those?

     @n8 I agree. Any ActivityPub server can distribute any activity object type. The division of your social graph by object type is a relic of the venture-funded commercial social network world. I'm really unhappy to see that model replicated on the fediverse.

     @evan I'm sure this sounds obvious, but the interface and controls for adding images to posts (in the clients I've used) are awkward and underpowered in comparison to an image-first app like Instagram. Tusky refers to them as "attachments" even, which frustrates me every time. Point being, I don't see any reason users ought to have to choose to be on a "pic network" vs a "word network" ... can't we steal the UIs from both and put them together?

     @evan I still think that for visual media it would be better to use dedicated services like #PixelFed or #PeerTube, optionally with boosts on Mastodon.

     @oblomov I disagree.

     You should have one social graph, and different API front ends to make different kinds of stuff to share with that social graph.

     The one-content-type-per-graph is a relic of the commercial social networks.
