Why do so many Mastodon frontends not have an option to only show replies to people that I follow? Aggravating.

@alpha This honestly stops me from replying. Every reply feels like I'm spamming every follower.

@ethanschoonover Pleroma/Akkoma’s frontend is one of the few that does allow that sort of filtering. I’ve tried a few others and immediately discarded them since they don’t have that support.

@alpha What I really want on mastodon is "show replies between people I follow," which I think is what you're after too.

I really think Mastodon made exactly the wrong decision about reply visibility (and definitely by not giving options) and that it is compromising the utility of the whole system. :/

@ethanschoonover Yeah, so Akkoma/Pleroma’s frontend has this option, since it’s totally something you can do client-side, and it baffles me that no other frontend that I’ve tried has this capability.
