<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> I&#39;ve pretty much had to make it routine when replying to someone to view the post on the receipients instance, assuming it&#39;s a public post.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> <br />Yeah this sucks so much. <br />I have missed replies even to myself to my threads that tagged me. Just not visible and no notification.</p><p>Now I have to open all interesting looking threads with the &quot;Open original page&quot; to potentially see most of the replies.</p>

<p>i now notice that sometime in the last few years they added a &quot;Replies from other servers may be missing.&quot; text to the page that i completely filtered out because it&#39;s tiny and dim</p>

<p>i think this might be the thing that finally makes me migrate off Mastodon as software</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/@dysfun" class="u-url mention">@<span>dysfun</span></a></span> what the fuck</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/@dysfun" class="u-url mention">@<span>dysfun</span></a></span> ughhhh i hate this so much</p>

<p>this is like. really bad on the same level as Matrix lying to you about messages being sent being really bad</p><p>I _hate_ computer systems that confidently lie to me</p>

<p>today&#39;s lesson for me: if i open a mastodon thread and see a set of replies, there&#39;s zero guarantee these:<br />- are the same replies others see<br />- are the same replies OP sees<br />- are a reasonable, close subset of any of those<br />- don&#39;t magically omit all of the harassment someone receives</p><p>this is, fucked up</p>
