So, @ConnyDuck -- there's a subtle problem, let's call it a conceptual design issue, with the filter options on #Tusky.
I kinda agree with @eryn* that:
1. just being able to see one iteration of replies isn't enough to enable keeping track of conversations
2. social media as a *communication* tool is why we're here on Mastodon
3. ...instead of Twitspace or Fazebook, where social media is viewed more as an attention-absorbing, click-aggregating tool
4. ...which is the kind of thing that only being able to track one iteration of replies *does* tend to support.
TLDR: "new mentions only" kinda supports corporate thinking, where "all mentions" is more user-empowering.
