       Initial thinking the reason behind fedi’s markedly lower IQ ceiling and median than (properly follower optimized) Twitter is just smaller population sample (0th thought: pseudo-“privacy” idiocy could only attract hubristic but brainlet linux-cucks, et al) but I think it’s really just the monolithic threading that makes longform conversation a mess to participate in and a chore to read, only really lending itself to either one-way microblogging or short discussions that quickly devolve into vapid conversational “hellthreads” - struggling desperately to communicate directly (as opposed to algorithmic interfacing) against the system’s (admittedly brain-less) “design”.Pleroma got it backwards in the one actual conscious deviation from its otherwise objectively brain-dead Twitter cloning: they should’ve lowered the character limit to 50, not raised it to 5000.

       Twitter, for reference, has multi-threading, splitting reply chains in a readable way. Imageboards solve the same problem by direct linking quoted posts (later adding hover previews and inline post expansions). Pleroma yeets and dumps everything in one linear bag, can’t even tell which post is being replied to. It would’ve interfered with the flow of conversation LESS by ditching reply chains altogether, and just adding a basic embed post function. This solution, you might recall, was already discovered with e-mail.

       @miya pleromafe does link back replies to the posts they're replying to, but you're out of luck if you want that on anything else

       @miya well, considering that pl*mora was literally made 100% by leftist gay trannies, of course it's dogshit. what did you expect, a fucking nuclear bomb or something?
