OMG! My first PR for Mastodon has been merged!!
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26910
ICYMI, this fixes a really big (IMO) problem where, by default, you don't see replies from everyone when viewing a thread. More details in my design doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YpdrZVTrk-yt0GpnSxuDybYvFQOA0B-IfkELBYNwSOg/edit
My sincere hope is that this helps with redundant responses and "dogpiling" because hopefully people will be more aware that they're not seeing the whole conversation, and will click through to see that the comment they're about to add has already been added.
