nostr:npub17ccqcmngac03zdj9f06alkp0ckr83fmdhq0c5nalxa6fnr682xtq23nwac It's not really a feature as much as a result of federation (at least, as I understand it). And it's not all bad. When doods said incorrect things in my Twitter mentions, I often felt like I needed to respond, lest my silence be interpreted as agreement. Here? I can just let the randos languish in obscurity.

Okay, does someone want to chime in with a technical explanation of why #GhostReplies exist? (I.e., why you can't necessarily see all of the replies to a post that you can see.)
In my head, I'm happy to just chalk it up to the special alchemy of the fedi, but a lot of people apparently want more details.
Thanks in advance!

Is that how it works?

nostr:npub17a93lvl79m9crvwkkcglmgwqghdxzmkrllvyma7jdhl32k0th3fq4lmv9a I can't give you the full technical explanation. But apparently it depends on which instance you're on, the OP is, on and/or the reply is on. All I know for sure is that it's not like Twitter, where you could see every (public) reply to a particular post.
If you're out here saying "I don't see it, so it must not exist," you are part of the problem.
It sounds like some people might need a reminder: You may not be able to see all the responses to all the posts that you see.
Just because you don't see a certain type of reply, doesn't mean it's not happening.
It might just be happening in #GhostReplies
nostr:npub19x0vumzxzyjzq0d4xyr59l2gd098qzpky4d4f54a58hdl279hnhs9e9ve7 I'm glad your experience has been a good one. And thank you for acknowledging that other people's different experiences are real. It's frustrating to see people popping up in your replies saying things like "yeah, I don't see it either, those other people must be lying!"
nostr:npub19x0vumzxzyjzq0d4xyr59l2gd098qzpky4d4f54a58hdl279hnhs9e9ve7 same... I don't get the other stories at all!! I've seen arguments that white men don't have a hard time online, which is understandable, but you'd think you'd at least see it elsewhere

So this may be happening in #GhostReplies that you can't even see.
By the way, I'm not sure which "articles," exactly, this is referring to. But the Federal Circuit released these documents on Friday: https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USFEDCOURTS/bulletins/368f621

So, I've struggled to find a way to explain, for non-patent people, the reactions of the self-described "pro-patent" crowd to the Judge Newman situation.
But this exchange, from The Site Formerly Known as Twitter, sums it up pretty well:
