also it consumes soooo much vertical space and since I use mastodon on a
computer the vertical space is at a premium. Meanwhile the right 1/3rd of the
screen is blank...
not to be discouraging or anything, volunteer efforts are appreciated...

I'm 99% sure the posts were just edited for some reason. I'm on the Mastodon
web client and you can click a little button and it shows the edit history and
you can see what you said before it was changed. Idk why that happened /shrug
anyway, we can do remarkable things with computers. I'm amazed at their
capabilities and the increasing utility they bring year after year. It warms
my heart. ^_^

darn, that's good to know. I guess I could make multiple posts but I don't
want to spam people - Mastodon tends to notify people whenever you do ANYTHING
which I worry is bothersome. Hence the attempts to compress longer thoughts
into smaller spaces...

I also think that it should be limited to a single server so people can test
it out, because it's a big structural change that should not be applied to the
current fediverse.
like, it feels different enough to me, the idea of speaking while floating in
a sea, versus most other social media sites which are more... focused and
directed in personal connections.
like, visiting the town square versus visiting your grandma.

have no fear, people who are annoyed will block you and you'll never know, and
people who like you just haven't seen you yet.
that's how mastodon works. gotta keep posting until you find your people.
comment on things, boost things, and read through people's profile pages.
that's how it works!
*this is the place to be annoying*, because "annoying" is really just "weird"
and "weird" is for here.
It takes time, but eventually you'll find someone or three who *get you* and
they'll boost your stuff to all their friends who *get you* and then you'll
feel less annoying. That's how it works! You can help by boosting things.

tried commenting on some of my posts but like, they didn't show up on my end?
how weird. Kinda shattered my perception of this place as a free and open
society where everyone could rely on everyone else to be who they said they
were based on publically available accounts that they share with their friends
who know them by their face and name

Would work best if it was "town square style" instead of "federated style"
because federations are based on trust while town squares are explicitely
based on geographic proximity. Which should be something you can scale easily
(little slider on the side, oriented vertically up and down, that determined
how close the comments you see should be)
Federations exist in mastodon. But we still need a town square. We need the
ability to visit other town squares, through the ability to project our voice
as infinitely far as they'd like to listen. But we also deserve the capability
to interact with those close to us on a topic-by-topic basis, aka each and
every individual web page that the Internet sees fit to create.
