You know what's nice? #Mastodon sends me an alert when someone edits a post I boosted or faved.
Now if only we could get #QuoteReplies! :)

All these talk about #BlueSky and complaints about #Mastodon this, #ActivityPub that, #Fediverse this, and #Decentralisation that, are mostly questionable(?) since many haven't seriously looked around the fediverse. It's like saying burgers are bad because you've tasted McDonald's yet there are better burgers from #Jollibee.
#AccountPortability (#NomadicIdentity)? Check out #Hubzilla and #Streams (the latter is in the #PublicDomain). #QuotePosts / #QuoteReplies? There is #Calckey, #Akkoma, Hubzilla, Streams, to mention a few. Oh! Many Mastodon forks have it as well. You want a #Twitter-like UI/UX? Use Akkoma or #Rebased. What else?
The problem stems from the fediverse ending up **unofficially** represented by a very limited-feature software and most are not willing to do their due diligence (one would think they'll check out the forks at least). Before championing about the new kid on the block, before claiming that the fediverse is this and that, look around first.
What you've known as the fediverse, so far, is only based on what happens to be the software with the least feature set. Mainline Mastodon will get better, but it is what it is currently, as far as comparison with similar fediverse projects.
No one is saying you are not allowed to complain, just look around first before you make claims about the fediverse.
Also, no one is saying #ATP shouldn't exist. By all means develop it! Innovation and improvements come from seeing ideas come to fruition instead of staying as theories. Having different branches of development is better than getting stuck in one particular way of doing things, or line of thinking. It's all good and I think anyone will agree it is much welcomed.
Here's a #challenge: Since you have time to research a non-fediverse network, why don't you explore what the fediverse really has to offer, with the same effort and enthusiasm? Mastodon is not the fediverse, so you can not judge the fediverse based on it. That's like saying China is Asia, and you judge Asians because of mainland China.
Take the challenge, then publish the results of your journey. Good evening, and Shalom!

If we don't credit the author it's (sort of) #plagerism.
We came from Falsebook and we adjusted quickly to the culture of Fediverse not using #quoteReplies.
We quickly appreciated that although we may've been able to grow on Falsebook from it that it does also breed #oneUpmanship and #toxicity.
We doubt #MastodonDevs care what we say. They are still not enforcing #AGPLv3 against #HellaDoge, despite our calls.

@patak @thilo @elk I’ve nothing against boosting replies in general where appropriate. But boosting replies and the replies to which they reply to seems OTT, or at least sufficiently rare that it shouldn’t be baked into the UI.
Yes, perhaps placing #QuoteReplies under other options and/or via an alt or shift-click could work. Personally I don’t think it’s a bad thing that people are prompted to choose which they want each time (as Mastodon currently does with the visibility of boosts), but given the sensitivity around quoting perhaps this would be prudent.
So many people are talking about bringing #quotereplies #quotetweets to #Mastodon, but I’ve yet to see any #Fediverse platforms import #Tumblr’s reblog trees. Which is weird, given that Tumblr is going FOSS and Fediverse soon. #reblogs#reblog #activitypub
The only #misskey app for #iOS is completely in #Japanese. I wouldn’t send those who support quote-tweets to that platform just yet. #quotetweets #quoteboosts #quotereplies
You will see no "Mastodon is missing this feature!" posts from me.
Why? Because I haven't even been here a month, lol.
When entering a new space - visiting a country, moving to a new city, joining a new online community - we always tell people to look around, respect the guidelines, observe the norms, and just get a sense of the place before doing anything.
It's time to actually live up to that advice.

@randomwalker the whole point of a #fediverse is that these decisions don't need to be global. If an instance wants to do #quotereplies or #algorithmic feeds, someone can 1. submit the code and 2. decide to enable it on their instance.
if such features are submitted as required features instead of optional, you are more likely to fork #Mastodon than to get these changes into the core, so tread carefully
however, don't make the mistake of labeling it a problem to "fix". This isn't
