Seeing stuff about reddit being posted to 10 different technology boards, plus reddit-themed ones, then reposted further just makes this whole idea a mess. Reposts have to be consolidated into a single comment thread.

    I completely understand the sentiment while simultaneously completely disagreeing. The idea of the fediverse, and seeing it play out explicitly with the various multiple posts and other things is kind of sexy to me in a technological and aspirational sense. I dig how janky this whole thing can sometimes be. It’s part of the appeal for me. As it matures and becomes more streamlined over time all of that will surely change and get cleaner and easier to use. Which will be awesome to see. But I greatly appreciate what it is now for the time that it will be. Being in close to the ground floor of this is really fun. I loved Usenet back in the day. I remember and loved reddit at the very very beginning. I love and appreciate this shit for what it is while it still is this. This has legs. And people will be nostalgic for this time later on. Love it now too while enjoying watching it grow.

      Depends on the visualization. We could group similar posts into one and show it as a group, using the space for a single post.
