@marti@social.martiabernathey.com @dansup@mastodon.social This comes from a social networking perspective inherited from sites like Facebook where you must have an account on every site. E-mail, for instance, does not work this way. XMPP does not work this way. If your emails were dropped by your recipient because they didn't have pictures you'd be furious.
The ideal would simply be the ability to see everything from every software, or at least from all the platforms that aren't "publish-first" (PeerTube, Micro.blog, WriteFreely, WordPress, Ghost).

@asterisk@social.linux.pizza @marti@social.martiabernathey.com @dansup@mastodon.social this sounds like a deep misconception about the goals of these projects and a key pillar of fediverse resilience: separation of concerns and proliferation of services and instances of those services. The thing you think is a bug is actually an incredibly desirable feature. It keeps us safe from One Ring to Rule Them All.
