> ... it was a DM sent to you, your reply is a DM.
All nice but why then do *mentioned* people appear as being addressed with a DM in my Outbox but not the original addressee @es0mhi ? That is the strange thing. Fascinating .-)
As I said earlier in this thread, I tried to reply to es0mhi two times. In both cases I mentioned other people, @ aral and you. Now going into my Outbox of messages, I don't see these replies as sent to es0mhi (which is normal behaviour) but I see them as if addressed to @ aral and you (which is not normal behaviour because there shouldn't be a copy of a reply in my Outbox at all).
The miracle: Both replies only appear in Outbox inasmuch as their recipient is *the first @-recipient* occurring in the text body *after* the original @-address, i.e., that of es0mhi. You see this in the screenshot below in the DM seemingly addressing you: Your handle appears earlier in the text body than @ aral's; but only to you the notice appears as being sent as recipient of a DM.
Oh. I just see that this notice is a DM (it appears in "Message") to me from tilde.zone to which replies (like always in gnusocial) are not possible. So everything seems normal, I only got confused by the email notification. Sorry again for the unnecessary trouble.

This note by @es0mhihttps://gnusocial.net/notice/13206574 doesn't appear in my Home TL (I reached it via the link in the email informing me about a new notice). Two attempts to reply to it failed; both replies looked like they were attached but then didn't show in my Home TL. Returning to the notice via the email-link showed that the replies had not been attached.
@administrator
Sorry to bother you again but could you please run the script again? I miss a lot of replies, esp. from tilde.zone.
Also, since you activated the constant loading of new notices, the Favorites-TL stops at the page end without loading and without providing means to click for the next page.
I don't see all your replies and I have to ask @administrator regularly to run a script to fix my subscriptions to receive your replies. I saw your longer reply on my mastodon.social backup account (re: value of introductions vs. other means) but did not have the leisure to respond.
As dishwasher and lavatory attendant I do dirty work, not coding. So I did not watch hotmail, gmail, etc.
I used "federated silo" in the sense of "silo on the fediverse". That there may be other silos using distributed networks is beside the point. It's about this network, the #fediverse, with its thorough propaganda ¹ of "open / free / community" that got subdued by various activities, including design decisions by the leader of the Mastodon network.
Very true. To me it's more and more the "Mastodon network" (i.e., all servers of all instances running the software Mastodon) vs. the #fediverse. Never thought there could be a federated silo.
I know. But I had a similar phenomenon with another thread. In both cases I went repeatedly through it and couldn't find either hashtag, group or subscription that might have warranted these occurrences. But II'll get over it.
Oooh... that gives the picture a whole new dimension... how various wishes come together and create -- what, exactly? A blend of wishes, hopes, fancies, memories, expectations.. put together by several individuals in one image. Lovely.
