Mastodon's latest version has the ability to fetch missing replies from a conversation (under an experimental flag, not enabled by default).
This is a big deal, especially for smaller instances. Mastodon joins other platforms - of which I know of: Streams, GoToSocial, IceShrimp.NET and Bonfire - that pull back replies on request.
The hard work on the backend is done, and now there needs to be a discussion about how this interaction works as part of the user experience.
@dangoodin I stopped trusting them when they put out a poorly-designed survey to justify putting an LLM product into Proton Mail and *immediately* rolled out a crypto wallet within a few weeks. Then the CEO went on a public tirade from the company account. That was... fun.
I documented the timeline of the first 2 things here: https://alextheward.com/posts/proton-wtf/
The Netherlands is about to introduce a new law that makes helping supposedly illegal migrants/refugees a criminal offence. So yes. The Netherlands is reintroducing the Nazi law that made hiding Anne Frank illegal. As a Dutchie I am ashamed, angry and powerless (as I live in Germany). Geert Wilders, and every single Dutchie who voted for his PVV, may you burn in hell.

I know everyone loves YouTube Shorts, so my band just posted one featuring us tracking a song called "Put Linux On It", which will be featured on our upcoming debut EP.
We tracked this at our booth at VCF Southeast, it was a sight to behold. And now you can behold it in vertical video.
