Not every client for every #ActivityPub service needs to show all content

Take #FediReader, for example

Most of the content on #Mastodon isn't immediately visible in the UI

Posts without links don't show up at all, quote boosts don't show up at all, and any text content shared with the post is hidden in the post detail view

The fun thing about the #SocialWeb is that we can make highly opinionated clients like this for the people who want it

For those that don't, they don't have to use it

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.social/users/countablenewt/statuses/116047049700002213 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
