How odd. SLC qvitter seems to recognise it as a reply to me. I wonder if someone on quitter follows me... could that be to do with it? -

Seems to be able to fetch threads so even if the server doesn't know someone, you can view the entire thread anyways. Which is a better way to do this. Mastodon: 1. GNU/Social: 0. -

Ooh... this interface looks like the type some other users were thinking to include as an interface here but haven't really started. Maybe they don't have to now if this is something that you can add to an instance itself. Is it possible to create a timeline from another instance, and then reply like there?
Yeah... I find it a pain to have to keep visiting other instances to view profiles or to view their local timeline. On GNU/Social, if you highlight someones name then you can follow through that. But there is nothing for remote replying when you're not on your local instance. You can't be logged in through your local instance when viewing other instances too.
By the way, if you have a way to limit who sees what individual post that works... then Mastodon will have another advantage. GNU/Social tried to implement something like that and it fails. It does not work. On the classic or qvitter interface. I don't know why the buttons for it are visible when it doesn't work. -

All right. I'm not sure how good my opinion will be since I'm not so good at the tech-related side of things. But from what I can see here, I do like that you've improved the speed so it is more efficient and that the system will fetch posts from users the server doesn't know. So it's an improved engine for GNU/Social.
One thing that did bother me is that you can't remote reply to posts that you are viewing from another instance. Is there any plans for remote stuff? -

That is a good point. Is there a market using methane already? I wonder if there is a way to catch it from cows that emit it. Wouldn't you solve peoples fears about pollution if you can capture that gas and make use of it instead? -

I wonder how feasible it would be to create the conditions for things like gas or coal... and in a shorter time. Like to speed the process up. If we could farm it, like we plant new trees... that would be useful. But maybe it is not feasible. I wonder if, instead, we could create our own version... -

If we don't have jobs to gather currency and trade... how will people live? -

Well, I guess we'd better become business owners or mechanics for the machines. You say that we'll be replaced, but from what I can tell... because of the computer and internet, it has created more easy jobs. So... when machines start taking over more jobs, who knows what the job market will be like? Plus they can't take all jobs away... some will still require a human. Especially customer service jobs where people want to talk to a human being, for example. Technology can improve the tools that we use. I think we've discussed something like this before. There will still be jobs, it's just that the job market will look different again. Who knows where we'll be, or what we'll create in the future?
