Rant: The linking of accounts without the @ instance dot tld is not really working. Not on Mastodon & not on Pixelfed. If you are on instance A & link a user foo from instance A without instance, a user from instance B will only see user foo from instance B not A or a 404. Depending if user foo exists on B.
between #Pixelfed and #Mastodon the linking is sometimes not even working with the full account handle.
I really hope that gets fixed at some point.

because QTs are embedded cards i cannot, to this day, understand why @MastodonEngineering will not adopt the format.

a QT acts as a blockquote and citation.

when was the last time you had to ask permission from a source to quote them in an academic paper or newspaper article?

when was the last time you had to ask Donald Trump permission to quote every public jettison of his verborrhea?

so why exactly are #MastodonDevs subverting one of the most basic principles of freedom of the press? 🧵
