I think #FetchAllReplies might just be another radicalizing moment for me in seeing how must of an influence a few hundred lines of code can have over the structure of a whole digital-technological system, we are a tiny instance of like a ~few hundred people on here per month and a ~few dozen ppl on here every day and i'm already seeing a gigantic difference in how alive the fediverse feels and how i use it, and @elduvelle did too and demonstrated the importance of #FetchAllReplies for moderation without even knowing it was deployed for sure. When everyone has it via mainline mastodon then we have a very different fediverse. Thinking about all the wasted opportunities, missed connections, and instances of harm and people leaving the fedi from a few hundred lines of code.

THIS is the distributed moderation case for #FetchAllReplies - you can only see them because we have fetch all replies deployed on this instance. because you are probably one of the only people (on a mastodon instance, GTS also does this) that can see it aside from people on mastodon.social, you are the first to report it. this is EXACTLY what every person of color that has faced abuse on the fedi has been saying about the importance of other people being able to see the abuse. because you can forward the report to other instances, you make it visible to everyone and the problem gets dealt with way faster and it's better for everyone. maybe the person they replied to doesn't even see it before it gets dealt with because everyone can watch out for it.brb i'm gonna go address the one review comment i've gotten to keep pushing that along

(yes I imagine you doing this in your living room for some reason)
