    #Activitypub (which runs #mastodon) has made some very strange design choices. The link and screenshot below explain the most worrying one.

    When someone posts something, in your normal client you cannot be sure that you have read all the comments and thoughts of other users, as you only see the comments known to your instance. The same goes for likes and boots. You cannot know how popular something really is.

    This has two logical consequences:
    1.) You want to join a server that is as big as possible, so that your server knows more other servers and you see more. This leads to few big servers and against #federation.
    2.) Mastodon becomes a broadcasting platform where discussions are useless because you don't know if the post hasn't been discussed underneath. This would be great for politicians and businesses, but bad for everyone else.

    I think we should really fix these problems.

      @DrSeltsam ActivityPub has a collection of replies for every object. If you want to get those replies, use it.

      @DrSeltsam as a developer or as a user?

      @DrSeltsam ah, OK! I started a conversation recently about clients that use the replies collection for showing replies. I'll see if I can find some recommendations. Probably at this point, ask the developer of your favourite client to use it.
