   Apparently my blog posts are getting blasted directly into your Mastodon feed with all their massive wordcounts since Mastodon 4.1.

   I was shocked as anyone to see it.

   Anyhoo, since it's not just a link to an article but in fact a massive wall of text (with *none* of my Markdown formatting, gdi) you may be seeing it in your feed if you follow my blog on masto.

   Just note I can't put it behind CW, because WriteFreely don't know wtf a CW is.

     Normally I'd be giddy with excitement that blog posts go directly into your feed, just like on Hometown!

     Except (womp womp) unlike Hometown, the Gods of Mastodon have decided they *hate* text formatting and will not accept it.

     So now you see the entire blog post in your feed, with none of the formatting, and no link to the original post.

     WTF? I demand to speak to the Manager.
