i'll make sure i relay your concerns to the managers @iwein but they're out on break right now.

since we cannot quote-post, i actually boosted and starred that toot.

but i'll let the higher ups know you are displeased 🙄

people are so fucking weird, but it is a valid concern.

@Mastodon needs to either:

1. fix rendering of embedded toots

or

2. create a quote-to-comment feature.

and i really, really really want the developers to stop counting boosts as posts.

the content of boost do not get archived in your user database. so separate boosts from posts.

now is the time to differentiate @MastodonAPI from Twitter's mess.

rendering engagement as transparently as possible is really power.

i have yet to wade thru @Mastodon's code; but they definitely do something weird with embedding.

the Oembed specs are over a decade old and yet Mastodon.social is not turning urls into embedded postcards consistently.

am posting images of one toot from press.coop and boosted post from mas.to as examples.

why are some instances having their links render as embedded postcards and not others?

embedded rendering should be happening at the receiving instance (mastodon.social) not just the host
