Ah, interesting. I wasn't actually sure if it was a bug or not :)

Is the "preview issue" (by which I mean no tracking parameters on cards) a recent thing?

Should graphs like that be annotated "partial data" for Mastodon? As you said before, if I click on a preview card (which is what I at least tend to do - much larger click surface!) you're not getting any tracking info. Seems like this could be pretty substantial - possibly putting Masto in range of BlueSky.

Sometimes I tell people I'm in favor of peacefully abolishing #capitalism, and they react with shock. That's such an extreme position, they say.
That strikes me as bizarre. It's very obvious by now that capitalism is a death cult. Climate change is irrefutable evidence. Or patents for vaccines against deadly pandemics.
To hold on to the belief that this system can somehow be salvaged or regulated to behave reasonably against all evidence to the contrary -- that's the extreme position.

Honestly, using #Phanpy feels a lot like using the #Mastodon web UI if it had been in 2 years of additional development. Lots of stuff people have been asking for, beautifully implemented.
Give it a try if:
- you've been overwhelmed by a reply thread on Mastodon because it's all just a big flat mess
- you'd like to see quoted posts actually unwrapped
- you'd like to see threads as threads
- you'd like to see notifications bundled
And yeah, it's all open source.

Whatever retention a server configures (or whatever replies it holds in the first place), it would IMO be good for Mastodon to move towards more consistently lazy-loading content a user expects to see -- of course only if the server(s) it wants that content from have capacity to serve those requests.
@npub1cx7…8tc2 is the new (volunteer!) CTO, I'd be interested in his take on this overall issue from a strategic perspective for the project.

I'm working on a spreadsheet to monitor which organizations, celebrities and other major accounts have truly made the exit from X, and where they're going.
I'm not tracking dual-posters, or people who've said they'll quit but actually haven't.
As this list fills up, I hope it'll make it easier for others to do the same.

I know #Linux can be frustrating to learn and use. But it's kind of like Mastodon/the fediverse more broadly - community-built and a _relatively_ safe harbor from surveillance capitalism and the inevitable bad actions from Apple or Microsoft.
I switched over in the early 2000s and haven't had to look back since then. I highly recommend considering the switch as an investment in your own future well-being. There's an upfront migration cost, but it'll pay off for many years.

Take it as a lesson from Wikipedia and other community-based projects: effort you put into making the fediverse better goes towards a community that will carry it forward for years to come.
Effort to "create a presence" on the latest Twitter alternative boosted by venture capital (or by competitors smelling blood in the water) is free labor for rich people.
