I wonder if it would be possible to convince #mastodon devs to expand text posts by default. Expanding image posts by default and collapsing text posts by default encourages low quality content and harms accessibility. Pushing mastodon towards being a platform for screenshotted twitter posts and memes and making everything worse. Is there a way to reconfigure this within #emacsch at least?
