well, yeah, I wouldn't disagree but it's not like they aren't trying. I think with Mastodon the followers are a lot more important than the toots though. I would agree that posting history here is probably a bigger deal.

I haven't looked at the back end to understand what might be involved, but just configuring the instance has given me an appreciation for the complexities and challenges involved in getting a federated app running at scale.
