The Seven Deadly Fediverse UX Sins Part 2: The Road To Redemption

So you made it through the first fiery sermon in this series. Trust me—I didn’t enjoy preaching it any more than you enjoyed reading it. But every word came from a place of love—for the Fediverse, and for what it still could become. But fear not, dear reader: as the preacher once said, salvation is within your reach. And to reward you for slogging through that earlier wall of hard truths, here’s your moment of grace.

@tchambers

Just a note that the threads problem has been a solved problem for GoToSocial for a while now, too.

Posts and Post Properties - GoToSocial Documentation

None

@oli Is that fetching all posts of a thread automatically?
@tchambers That's correct. I got to do a real comparison of that when I was running Mastodon and GTS concurrently (GTS pulled tons of replies from people I don't follow, for instance). But I hadn't gotten to do a comparison after Mastodon added its backend fetch upgrades.
@oli Great note - I love @gotosocial work. And was honored that they chose to put one of their accounts on the server i started.
@D. Olifant It has been solved by Friendica for 15 years. Five and a half years longer than Mastodon has been around.

It has been solved by Hubzilla for 10 or 13 years, depending on what you count as Hubzilla's first release.

It has been solved by the other members in the family just as well.

There even is an FEP for that which is based on how (streams) and Forte do it: FEP-171b Conversation Containers.
