I love how Mastodon has basically taken control of AP and can just add their own features and force other devs to comply or be left behind...
Can we NOT allow this nonsense? Threads and Mastodon are teaming up to collectively kill everything good about this platform.
Limiting replies coming soon. Wanna call out that blatant misinformation post? Too bad, the user turned off replies.
If we keep letting shit stick to the walls, don't wonder why it suddenly smells like shit everywhere, just saying.
@BeAware users often drive features, just because you don't like something doesn't mean others love it. Privacy is also behind plenty of these upcoming choices. Mastodon isn't the one thing that binds this together - don't like it? Leave it really is that simple. Go to another federated AP server, it is pretty easy....
This point is really fundamental to federation use... you also don't have to interact or even see those who choose to abide by their own choices
