today's lesson for me: if i open a mastodon thread and see a set of replies, there's zero guarantee these:
- are the same replies others see
- are the same replies OP sees
- are a reasonable, close subset of any of those
- don't magically omit all of the harassment someone receives

this is, fucked up

this is like. really bad on the same level as Matrix lying to you about messages being sent being really bad

I _hate_ computer systems that confidently lie to me

The mobile app I'm using has a single click button to fetch replies as they are seen from the original post's server.

I am guessing that this isn't a priority from the mastodon team because it is a competitive advantage for their mega-instance.

work on a “fetch all replies” feature seems to have finally started and proposed for upstreaming
github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p…
(finally, because obviously it was less important than the gamification features that were prioritized in the last releases 8-/)

Is there even a workaround that can be consistently used that does not require accessing the web UI of the original server? Recently, I had to search for a post for brutaldon to fetch the latest version, could this somehow also fetch the updated list of replies from the server or even this won't help? I have to test it...
