Well, whatsapp has stories also, but I don't see people using them. I don't like to give my phone number to everybody. And it is very easy if someone has a profile, to look them up and send a follow request. That stuff you won't find with signal stories.

That's a good reason yea

Though, pixelfed lacking stories should be possible to overcome right, given the protocol. If two users can handshake, and the instances accept the handshake, then they should in theory be allowed to send each other stuff. Like, in other fediverse platforms you can also send private messages

The problem I think is that we can't guarantee that the other federated instances will respect the private setting, or the risk that other instance admins might be snooping on the posts.

A proper E2E solution would be ideal
