@Lady @Satsuma anyway if you have to have multiple independent instances run in a necessarily socially uncoordinated fashion then the best way to go about things is almost certainly to double down on all the interesting possibilites that entails. you have to deal with the fact that it simply cannot sustain a One Big Fediverse anyway

@Lady @Satsuma though mastodon the project sure does want people to look at the software in the One Big Fediverse kind of way

@Lady @Satsuma i was going to say thst some people join for the One Big Fediverse and regard it as a serious design flaw that it does not work like that in practice, but then again, i have literally only seen that opinion held by people who do not use mastodon anyway. selection bias i guess

@Lady @Satsuma nobody here wants what exactly?

@Lady it almost feels like to me that eugen is finally allowing community building features but is trying to insist that ideally, what instance you’re on ought to be irrelevant. this is just a guess of course

i’m not sure how i feel about this, though i do think that allowing community building without requiring the skills for instance adiministration would be..... actually really good

@Lady now THAT is interesting

@Lady wait what

@Lady yeah

@compufox SAVE MEWWWWWWW

@compufox does authorized fetch mean there's no way for me to do some scrappy JS to throw this kind of thing together

@compufox darn

is it possible to embed a post in a way that includes its replies

i have thoughts about this new mastodon post and it might be worth making a blog for it

(“be Twitter” does not count)

that said i would not exactly mind these features becoming a thing
