When you consider relative install sizes of various Fediverse software, it becomes clear why #Mastodon often needs to move in ways that ensure we don't break things and do right by all to ensure interoperability and trust & safety in the new things we ...

@joshix @thisismissem You know what, that's a fair point, give me a minute.
-
@joshix @thisismissem Right, that's why the community needs to determine what's important for them.
Really hard to imagine a poll that would show that people here want author tags* more than reply controls, though.
-
@stefan I hear you, I do. Hopefully reply controls will be properly specified and can be the next big feature
-
@stefan right, but quote posts got funding first
-
@stefan @joshix fwiw, author tags weren't implemented by the actual core team initially. As for quote posts, last year people beat us with a stick for not having quote posts, no one really cared about reply controls. It's really hard to pick "what's the next six months of work" when you've so many demands being thrown at you and not enough funding
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] I hope the next one can be #fetchallreplies and reply controls after that since work on the implementation got picked up now and I'd consider that a big step forward.
-
@vetehinen @stefan there is a pull request open for fetch all replies, I'm not sure how close it is to merge, that's by @jonny
I'm not sure if it has Mastodon managing the replies collection or not yet (that's a prerequisite for reply controls)
-
@thisismissem @stefan @joshix have you considered a bounty board where people can vote by providing funding?

@SMillerNL @stefan @joshix once, yes, but the change ended up being negative for trust & safety after I played with the implementation, so I canned it.
But in general I've not seen bounty boards work well, they tend to attract people looking for easy money rather than folks who have a desire to actually push a project forwards
-
@thisismissem @stefan @joshix yeah, it definitely has its issues. I wouldn’t open the rewards to the public (had some negative experiences with that too) but make it more of a “donation with a marker to indicate the preferred feature” if that makes sense.
-
@SMillerNL @stefan @joshix maybe, I also need to be careful around how contracts in finance work, which is also the reason I don't collect money with an issue.
