@J12t even for forums, does the Fediverse really need a consistent tree?
There would be inconsistencies due to instance and account blocks, language and keyword exclusion, instance policies and moderation
All of those being two-way inconsistency tools
I understand wanting a consistent tree, so everyone has access to all the posts, but I think the Fediverse focus on safety should override an attempt at consistency
@lufthans one of the first things non-technical users of the Fediverse complain about, after they managed to sign up, is that they can’t see all the replies and all the likes. At least anecdotally, that’s my experience.
