One thing google-plus did absolutetly right, right from the start, was conversations and how they were displayed. I understand that mastodon tries to follow twitter with it's ui, but that's not what i - and i guess many other (plussers) will agree on that - am looking for here. So i hope this changes soon.
@michael_stuhr I disagree but I'm a (very) long time Usenet user (and admin) so I dislike all those stream concepts and prefer threaded articles. And bookmarks, to resume reading a thread after some time, which isn't really possible on streaming sites.
@michael_stuhr I disagree with the assessment of "absolutely right" on the display of conversations. Sure, it could have been worse, but e.g. comments are 2nd class citizens in conversations, they aren't threaded, so you don't know which comment refers to which other, you can't start a subthread on them, etc.
@cynix what do you disagree to? i hope not me, because that's not what i experience on g-plus. i follow a bunch of people there and i get exactly their posts in my timeline there, at least that's what you can tell g-plus to show you and what all sane people have done from the beginning. so we don't differ in that.
