@algernon I think this is only an option added by certain third-party Mastodon clients, although perhaps some of them enable the option by default? I don't see this option in Tusky, I don't believe it has that behavior, but I believe I have it enabled in Moshidon. I can see how it might annoy some people, but I thought it could be nice to include people in the conversation if it's relevant to them.

The Mastodon(?) "feature" where it includes the booster in replies when replying to a boosted toot is one of the most horrible misfeatures on the platform. -
Should YouTube federate?@evan Qualified yes. They should support open standards, but without some sort of accountability, they could remove it at any time, or pervert any federation to harm the fediverse... It would be foolish to rely on it in the current climate. Perhaps some government mandate, like the adversarial interoperability Cory Doctorow has proposed?
Also their moderation is so bad that it's been radicalizing people into Nazis, so federation might make fedi more Nazi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right_pipeline

I'm gradually phasing out dairy to move towards becoming #vegan.I'm gradually phasing out dairy to move towards becoming #vegan.
The last straw for me was the dire mishandling of avian flu, where they're not even bothering to test the cows or human workers as the outbreak spreads. Since H5N1 was detected in cows in March 2024, I arbitrarily decided to stop eating dairy products produced after February. So right now I'm eating cheese aged 7 months or more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%932024_H5N1_outbreak
I'm in need of vegan cheese that doesn't suck. Suggestions?
