@goatsarah will you ever shut up?

@goatsarah turns out you could say there are problems with federation and save me from many hours of your bullshit like 'follow more people'.

@goatsarah no. Here is account i was recommended. I follow it but I don't see posts, unless I click the link and leave mastodon -> i see their website then

@goatsarah @ajlanes such basic sarcasm, you don't even hide the fact you are trolling. Is it allowed on your server? It's not on mine... People like you should be on twitter or facebook amongst the similar ones

@goatsarah @ajlanes that's exactly what i said before. You have to visit their website, find the post you want to react to, then go back to Mastodon and then fetch it manually. It's a very strange concept

And why is it spam? It's basically SELECT * FROM posts WHERE user_id = %ussr_id%

So you are saying I'm not requesting anything, other server decides where to send out posts.... Interesting concept that seems very hard to use

@goatsarah @ajlanes don't you see how it's controlling what I see? That it's limiting the search results for me? That I don't see so many good people with interesting content because someone hasn't followed them? It's stupid. And it makes fediverse statement that it's up to user to decide what they see a lie. Big fat lie of twitter wannabes who didn't find their identity so they trying to make it up lying to their users

@goatsarah @ajlanes because you keep saying th same thing. I've followed it. I am someone. Why is it so hard to fetch older posts for me? It's the same database query like fetching new ones.

@goatsarah @ajlanes I follow the account. The posts aren't showing up because old posts are random thing nobody wants (as you said)

To see them I should visit their site. And then I should comment them using the link - that's also what you've said.

I didn't do it with your profile. I just clicked on your name, saw your posts and commented

@goatsarah @ajlanes it's not automatically then. I was told by Alexandra Lanes it's being done automatically.

And really... reading posts on a separate website and then fetch them manually one by one here.... it's so ridiculous. It's not 1989

@goatsarah @ajlanes
1. I follow account even though I don't see its posts (which is already ridiculous)
2. I don't see any posts after I followed it
3. I can see any posts on their site but I can't interract with them

What's the point of social network like that? It's not simple.

And where is the difference between request to fetch old posts in that profile and in yours? Why yours is working and theirs isn't? I'm explicitly asking for them following and visiting their page.

@goatsarah @ajlanes because I can see your posts, so I interracted with them. But I don't see posts of other accounts and it's all inconsistent and illogical .

@goatsarah @ajlanes but the original profile isn't even on this website. It redirects me to their website, and I can't interract with them. So what's the point of Mastodon then? It's like a catalogue of websites

@goatsarah @ajlanes because you don't listen or read what I'm answering. Or you play stupid on purpose. You can see on the screenshot that I followed an account but I don't see older posts because they would never be shown to me, as you told me. And I think it's a terrible idea because if I follow someone I want to see their older posts

@goatsarah @ajlanes how can I interract with posts I don't see

@goatsarah @ajlanes I want to interract with them. So, I don't decide what I'm reading. Some kind of algorithms decide if I need to see something I want to see or not. So, it's worse than twitter, because I can't even check someone's profile.

@goatsarah @ajlanes and it's strange. Why not? When I'm checking hashtags I want to see the old posts, i want to scroll through stuff. And I'm not allowed to... becaue.... have no idea why

@goatsarah @ajlanes so I can't see the old posts? Never? Maybe that's why when I'm browsing through hashtags there's almost nothing there? Then how am I supposed to find people if I see nothing?

Also, why your friends were saying it automatically fetches everything when I follow someone.... Did they lie? Or is the whole system not so transparent even for advocates of fediverse like you?

@goatsarah @ajlanes you are trolling, right?

I am asking for it. I followed that account because you and your friends are telling me to follow people.

This accouint was recommended by another person, so I followed it. But I still can't see what's there.

@ajlanes @goatsarah it's not

well, you are the smartest here, you are explaining how it's working, so it's up to you to explain this mystery
