@feditips Seeing as the issue has been open for 6 years, I can't but feel discouraged about the prospects of it ever being resolved. Plus if it's a fedi issue and not just a Mastodon issue, then addressing it here won't solve the root of the problem which is probably API level (ActivityPub) and should just allow backfilling, and the depth of which each profile is backfilled, to be controlled by the instance owner.

SapphireDrew (sapphiredrew@mastodon.online)'s status on Sunday, 28-Aug-2022 03:00:53 JST SapphireDrew @feditips So this isn't just a Mastodon issue? Meaning jumping ship to Pleroma or any other fediverse platform would have the same issues?
Sounds very problematic for people who want to see what someone is like / about before following them. And likewise if there's no backfill even AFTER you follow them, and you want to read what they shared in the past (especially useful when friending content creators) but I really don't want to crawl back to birdsite either... ?

This is not okay, full stop. Not only is it trashy, but it promotes racist and sexist stereotypes. Whoever posted this should be terminated immediately. Quietly deleting it without even a public apology isn't gonna cut it here.
Makes me glad I use and recommend #ProtonMail and #ProtonVPN instead.
