If a fediverse post contains something that the receiving server doesn't support, we need a defined way to show that to the receiving user. For example if I make a pixelfed post with 6 photos and mastodon only shows 4 of them, there needs to be a way to signal to the receiving side that there is content they can't see. This has been an issue forever but one of those little edges that makes the whole experience worse for everyone. cc 
@andypiper any ideas for how we could make progress on this?
@liaizonwakest ⁂ @andypiper i was disappointed that the mastodon quoting fep specifically identified that a quote would be invisible to software that failed to implement the spec, particularly since there was so much emphasis elsewhere to characterize failure to implement in starkly moralizing terms. one would think that if we intend to use terms like consent, the remote end failing to implement the spec would be able to understand the terms of the interaction. gts reply controls (which the fep cites, but mastodon has no intent to implement) do in fact provide just this kind of fallback, and in all respects demonstrates a more sincere respect for consent.
If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://circumstances.run/users/hipsterelectron/statuses/116238742202860274 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
