@hongminhee@hollo.social Yeah, and it seems to me the Mastodon API has evolved with a willful ignorance of what other platforms have added, e.g. when they added a quote post field they clobbered the quote post extension already added by other platforms.

@fedicat@pc.cafe Yeah, the quote post collision was a clear example. Whether it's deliberate or just indifference, the Mastodon team doesn't seem to treat the API as a shared surface that evolves across implementations. Hard to build on top of that.

@fedicat@pc.cafe @hongminhee@hollo.social that is 100% consistent with Mastodon's historical approach to coexistence.
