hidden mentions being surprising to everyone is a direct consequence of mastodon putting twitter semantics on a protocol that does not care for those semantics
@codl and not explaining a damn thing! A big part of the budget should be invested in making content generalizing how the Fediverse works!!
@codl kind of unavoidable consequence when you have many apps and don't expose any metadata via client api
i know it's cliché to immediately blame mastodon as soon as some jackass climbs on stage and takes a shit on the crowd below but
am i wrong?
