@dakkar@s.thenautilus.net yeah, that's true. it seems really risky when the other option (tell Mastodon to fix their backend) is so much easier ​​

@alice@mk.nyaa.place outbound federation - "pop out" all videos into a separate empty self-reply, then batch images into groups of four and do the same. Give each fake reply a generated id of <note_uri>/partial/<uuid>.

Inbound federation - rewrite incoming referenced URIs to remove the /partial/<uuid> part, thus redirecting all interactions and replies to the "real" post.

The author and anyone on non-mastodon platforms sees just the one post as-wrotte , while Mastodon users see a clean thread of media. Interactions and replies are all synced up for federation

@alice@mk.nyaa.place oh yeah, forgot about that. We could probably handle that on the backend with a little federation trickery and Misskey's dynamic federation stuff

Speaking as a software dev, you should take note when users start building their own software to work around intentional limits in your application. It's a sign that you've made a terrible mistake somewhere.

once again, I am begging fedi admins not to re-use domains without self-destructing the instance, and do not ever reuse a username or change a user's URI!!!
