needing to create another masto account so i can see convos with a defederated instance is bullshit, and this system sucks. you should always be able to get to someone’s profile and see their toots if you choose. right now i just have broken threads and no understanding of what’s happening. really well thought out feature.

@0xAFAEBABE that's partly because dealing with harassment on a large scale is completely broken in mastodon, and defederation is the only tool available in a lot of cases

@confusedcharlot i feel like i should still be able to follow people if i want or whitelist the server for my account only

Follow

@0xAFAEBABE but all communication happens at a server level so not defederating leaves your users open to a lot of bad behavior

@confusedcharlot yeah, i get that, but it’s still bad ux and needs to be addressed better.
