I haven’t had this problem. Are people pasting links to someone else’s post into their post or is this from boosts? Is it quotes? I don’t think Mastodon has quote posts, but Firefish and potentially other Misskey variants do. Do you have an example? I primarily use Firefish instead of Mastodon so I am admittedly not the most experienced Mastodon user, but even when I scroll through my Mastodon account, posts and boosts open in my own server when I click them and I can star or bookmark or boost them myself from that page.

I am curious about what’s happening exactly so I can understand it better, I hope my questions don’t come off as hostile.

On mobile you can click the menu button in the upper left corner to get to the thread and magazine info of your current page to follow that thread or subscribe to the magazine it was posted to. It’s quicker than scrolling all the way to the bottom of the page.

Do people post much food content on Twitter? I never really used Twitter other than when news stories included tweets so I have no idea what’s popular out there.

Beehaw is still federated with most servers, they’re not isolated. There are a few that are defederated from for differences like allowing hate speech, but the two big ones were to ease up the moderation demands as they had open sign ups without captcha from what I recall. They were the source of a lot of spam and making moderation a headache. The admins plan to revisit the issue if better mod tools are developed, it’s still a young platform and better tools could make it easier to moderate without cutting off whole servers.

This is a news community, not a lousy impersonationators community. It’s the wrong audience for this joke. I don’t want news posts filled with bad comedians, so of course I’m going to vote against this. Trump gets too much attention as is, why would I want him to get even more attention on articles that don’t even have anything to do with him?
