Octopat Traveler. A pixel art RPG where you level up by petting octopuses.

Coming back here, this thread is now displaying correctly for me a few days later. Very strange behavior. Also, I realized I don’t know how to post multiple images on a comment, lol. I’m going to have to figure that out.

Is anyone else seeing weirdness on this thread? When I view it in tree view, multiple comments have the same string of 15-20 responses that show underneath them. I took some screenshots showing this. Each of these begins with a comment that then has the same string of responses underneath it. The screenshots show the first 3 comments of that long string of comments.

Thank you!!! This is exactly what I needed. I really appreciate the thoughtful and thorough reply.

This is confusing to me as well.

Where I still struggle is in the details of defederation for a service like kbin because it’s more interactive than Mastodon. Here are some examples that confuse me.

For these, let’s assume we have Servers A, B, and C. Server A has defederated from (i.e. blocked) Server B, but otherwise they are all connected to each other.

1. Someone from Server B originates a thread. Someone from Server C sees it and comments on it. I assume people on Server A don’t see the post at all, even though there are comments from Server C people.
2. Someone from Server A originates a thread. I assume people from Server B can see it and comment on it? That is, the blocking is only one-way?
3. Someone from Server C originates a thread. Someone from Server B comments on it, and someone from Server C replies to that comment. What can people from Server A see?

Anyone who can shed light on this will be greatly appreciated. :-)

It used to be difficulty starting things, which led to insane burnout. Now with medication, that’s mostly taken care of, but my forgetfulness hasn’t gone away, so that’s now the new leader lol.

This is fascinating. Thanks for sharing!
