Some good news about #Mastodon, there has been a very significant bit of code added which will automatically fetch all the replies in a thread. This means everyone will be able to see a thread's whole conversation no matter which server they are on! 🥳
The code has just been "merged" which means it should become available in the next update to Mastodon, hopefully within the next few months.
(Those who want the technical details can see the Pull Request at github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p…)

'The most effective way the Labour Govt. can reduce the threat from the populist right is to ensure the economic arguments made by populists against immigration have as little purchase as possible. That means providing more money for public services, not keeping taxes low. [Labour's] opposite approach, at a time when the two right wing populist parties in the UK attract nearly half of all voters in opinion polls, is very worrying'!

Is Concern Over Security Overrated?
The average user may believe that all the hype they read about security on the internet is overrated. To be honest some of it is and some of it is just to sell you a product you do not need.
In the case of Internet Facing Services this is not the case. If you have an internet facing service then you have to be sure your server is secure. This is why I insist on SELinux on my servers. AppArmor is easier to configure though not as configurable as SELinux for as many cases. I would also strongly suggest you never disable SELinux (or AppArmor if that is what you are using) to ease installation and implementation. It is not worth the risk. Just learn to use your Gnu/Linux Hardening system to its fullest extent. Do not disable it.
I have attached a screenshot of an ssh session to my VPS. As you can see every few seconds an attack fails. This is why the security is required.
I just do Friendica and Matrix at this point. I checked out Mastodon though I am way to verbose, as you might have noticed, to live with only 500 characters 😀.
Yes, I kind of figured that though I do not see the point of running both a friendica and mastodon instance. I cannot afford another VPS and I would rather not divide up the resources further than I already have. Friendica really uses a lot of memory too.
Tariffs are bad for business, and worse for consumers.
We regret the unjustified 25% tariff on steel and aluminium imports imposed by the United States worth $28 billion.
We are responding with countermeasures worth up to €26 billion.
Nobody needs that – on both sides, neither the European Union nor the United States.
In a world fraught with uncertainties, it is not in our common interest to burden our economies with tariffs.

@omegaprobe @pluralistic Interesting, thanks!
The conclusion is at the end of the article. TL;DR: EU Copyright Directive was passed because it then US wouldn't put tariffs on EU goods. Its article 6 prevents jailbreaking iPhones and Teslas, cracking DRM, etc. Abolishing it costs us nothing, but it would hurt the intellectual monopolies of US and unleash a new wave of creative companies.
As an American citizen, I'm begging Europeans to stop respecting US IP law.

in reply to Fedi.Tips • • •Almost!
This Pull Request only deals with public posts. It doesn't include follower-only-posts or -replies, since there was no time and no solution on how to tackle those sensibly.
However, recieving 99% of the replies and context is much better, than only a tiny fraction.
Fedi.Tips
in reply to Weird Autumn Edition • • •Follower-only posts are always going to be hidden to most people becuse it's a restricted post visibility, people are deliberately hiding their replies if they use it.
It's the public/unlisted replies that most people are missing when a public conversation is incomplete.

in reply to Fedi.Tips • • •I'm trying to understand...
Why would I not see all replies already with the current Mastodon version?
=>Some are not shown because they come from servers that are blocked by my home instance.
=>Some are not shown because they com from accounts that are blocked by me.
=>(Further reasons?)
I guess it is not the purpose of the update to circumvent measures like the above-mentioned blocks. So, what kind of replies do I currently not see and can be seen with the new version?
@rolle
Fedi.Tips
in reply to Trötifant • • •At the moment, if there's a reply from an account that your server has not "noticed" then it may not be visible in the thread.
There's a whole list of scenarios where a server might notice an account or post:
fedi.tips/which-posts-and-acco…
TL:DR - To preserve resources, servers only show accounts and posts they have noticed. This keeps server costs low enough that anyone can start and run their own server, but has the side-effect of not showing everything from every server.

Looking through the discussions about this feature, avoiding strain on server resources was one of the things that delayed this feature so long.
It may not be that bad though, this is just anecdotal but see here: neuromatch.social/@elduvelle/1…

in reply to Robert W. Gehl • • •@rwg @Voka That's one of my concerns, too. I don't *need* to see everything especially if it's going to raise my hosting costs.
My other concern is whether my posts will be visible from - and whether I'll see posts from - servers I have blocked. I presume public posts are generally readable (e.g. via RSS) but I'm not clear on the details.
Fedi.Tips
in reply to ScottMGS • • •@ScottMGS
Resources: Reading through the discussions on this feature, one of the things holding it up was a concern about using up too many resources. The reason it's happening now is because they think they have solved this, but they're going to test it first in the real world on a small number of servers to make sure.
Blocks: That's somewhat a separate issue as the efficacy of blocks for hiding public posts depends on things like activating authorized fetch: fedi.tips/authorized-fetch

You can already move accounts (fedi.tips/transferring-your-ma…).
If you mean moving posts, the posts remain on your old server and redirect people to your new account.
Moving Mastodon posts was attempted by Firefish but the moved posts were clones of the originals and they broke all of the discussion threads on the originals. Also the moving process overwhelmed the server as it involved potentially thousands of posts being added to the server at once from a single account.

The idea of this feature is to take away the randomness of it, and let everyone see the same thread regardless of where they are or which accounts their server has noticed.
Fedi.Tips
in reply to Fedi.Tips • • •p.s. More info from one of Mastodon's core developers @renchap :
Fetch All Replies will be in the next experimental version of Mastodon (aka the "nightly" version). It will be disabled by default, but will be tested to see how it behaves on a small number of real servers. Once the developers are confident it works okay, they will release it fully to everyone.
Server admins are free to use nightly versions at their own risk, so you may see this on some servers before the "official" release.

This isn't imposing the same thread on everyone. User blocks and server blocks still prevent particular posts being visible for example, as do user filters etc. Admins of servers have ultimate control over what is visible on their servers.
All this feature does is make servers notice the public non-blocked posts in threads that their users are wanting to browse.
