Pixelfed never claimed to want to sell or promote salads , it's a business choice you may say. There's billions people in the word with different interests you can't simply please anybody. Mastodon is already able to fetch from pixeled so why would you want everything to be mastodon? Do you have the same complains about peertube not fetching text only content too or instance defederating from each other without notices so basically hiding content from thousands of peoples?
