@pluralistic I created a filter for “long thread” which I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE that you use. I always get the first post and none of the rest. Best of both worlds.
@pluralistic I have a filter set to block anything with "Long Thread/" in it from my feeds but not when viewing the actual post. That way I can see the start of the thread and choose to read it (usually on your website), and I also see your boosts and other stuff. Win/win
@trantion@pluralistic This is So Cool. I enjoy Cory and follow him separately on pluralistic.net, so I don't want to scroll past the same material in my feed. That filter has made my life better.
@lemgandi@trantion@pluralistic I’ve used that filter ever since Cory mentioned it back when I first joined Mastodon. It makes his long threads enjoyable. I generally go to pluralistic.net to read the whole post, but Mastodon is where I discover them.
5/5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@pluralistic Since some mastodon UIs have improved thread presentation, I figure the default UIs will implement same at some point hopefully soon. So we're in a transitional period right now and another possible answer for the complainers is: wait a while.
@zakyfarms@pluralistic I need to figure out how to get the unbroken/unCW text here, since I'm not longer reliably checking my desktop RSS feed application, but I am on Mastodon multiple times per day.
I guess there's some way to get RSS parrot bot to do that?
@pluralistic@zakyfarms I don't see how to do that from my Mastodon (or Lemmy) account. I have general RSS reader on my desktop, but I don't regularly check it anymore. I would like to move select feeds over to Mastodon (or some app I do check regularly).
@pluralistic This reminds me of @TechConnectify explaining the federated/mastodon experience is completely different for a 55k vs a 200 follower account.
@pluralistic right? To misquote XKCD about people saying they love science, "You don't really love infosec, you just like to check out its ass as it walks by"
@pluralistic I make a list and put long threaders / frequent posters in it. mastodon lets you segregate lists from your home feed, it's really useful and makes the site easier to read
