MASTODON I LITERALLY HAVE THIS PERSON BLOCKED AND THEIR INSTANCE DEFEDERATED WHY DO I KEEP SEEING THEM AROUND
me:
mastodon: hey wanna see a post from someone responding to two people you dont follow, both of which you have defederated??
website boy I am begging you to stop showing me weirder earth and skullsite bullshit
why can weirder earth even see my posts. I responded to sid and somehow the liberal anticommunists can still reply to me in turn even though I cant see their replies
how does this even work.
dads.cool and t.g federate. I reply to dads.cool.
dads.cool federates with weirder.earth so apparently weirder.earth sees my reply despite being defederated????
broken ass software
I know this bullshit could still happen with pleroma because pleroma wasnt made with user security in mind but why is regular masto like that too
me: makes a post about masto being broken as shit
jaina: *sixth sense activates*
@kiosk website boy taking lessons from pleroma.
@kiosk I think it goes like this:
You reply to dads.cool, and it stores a copy of that reply there. Since dads.cool doesn't know who you're fedrated/defederated with, it can show your response to anyone they're federated with. When someone responds to you, dads.cool gets a copy of the response, but since you are defederated, the server rejects it on your end.
@erinbee thats probably it yeah!
its still pretty bad though
@kiosk Yeah, it sucks. I'm just not sure what the best way to get around that is either :(
@kiosk holy jeez what does this software expect someone to do 
@mood alana I am so tired. I am trying so goddamn hard to rid myself of people Im trying to defederate and it just doesnt fuckin work
@kiosk [putting the last filter in place] there. now, after much configuration, the software can fulfill its most foundational basic promise about incoming content visibility
the software: 🤡
@mood jokerfying as we speak
joker molly arc
it wasnt even boosted!
