A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sure, but most (all?) pixelfed instances are run by volunteers. If someone's using their instance just to hotlink images elsewhere, an admin might decide it's not worth it.
Of course, that's true for just using a pixelfed instance for its documented purpose, but at least then you're probably privy to what's being discussed on the instance in terms of server costs, etc.
