<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> 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>
