in reply to Roni Laukkarinen • • •And let me guess, some phanaticks are already up in arms against this feature and are threatening to fork the software and defederate any instance that implements this?

#substitoot is pretty much mandatory currently to engage with the fediverse, as otherwise I'm missing like 99% of a conversation.
This solves one of my two major pain points with #mastodon (the other one being the inability to follow tags in lists).

But I do hope it’s the beginning of the end of its need!
