> The fearful locals object to the boy riding on the footpath because he rides too fast, but would also object to him riding on the road because he rides too slow. The same group of people get whipped into frenzied opposition every time the obvious solution is proposed: reallocating road space to build a network of dedicated cycleways separated from motor traffic and pedestrians

It was a fun experiment running a one-user Mastodon server, but the lack of federation of anything but followed users was frustrating when looking for post replies.

Hopefully this is improved in future, even if on the client side (eg. a client fetching all replies to posts on demand). I tried using a relay to import more content but it overwhelmed the small server!
