I was just noodling on this. I don’t think I’m the right person to build it, but I wonder what an “RSS feed reader + discussion graph” looks like

- subscribe to RSS
- “reply” to posts by blogging on your own site with a meta tag
- readers use the meta tag to thread discussion

I wish they would just do away with it. 2x a year and everything gets messed up…

it's interesting but feels far too coarse-grained. maybe masto needs something like public groups of related accounts so you can use those as a foothold instead

if mastodon is doing a piss poor job of conveying this then that is not all these people's fault, but the practical impact is that multiple verified twitter users with large audiences are lying about how mastodon works lol

I realized that looking at your profile, where you have an @ your own server. This ain’t your grandfather’s social network, is it.

I have no idea what this thing is. Just signed up to park my name.

Apparently @aaronpk really wanted to follow… 😉
