tonight was the first time i ever experienced an appreciable proportion of other people being able to see replies from people that they didn't already know on the fedi, and it was very good and shows gaps in our self-moderation tooling lmao. it's a small thing but like seeing secondary and tertiary discussions spawn off except for "small clusters of ppl who already know each other" is notably rare on the fedi, and imo i'm glad that it's happening. it feels like life.
