* <<F27.0646>> The stuff that sucks about GNU social/StatusNet:

- No ability to favor, repeat, or comment on posts by users your
instance doesn't know.
 + Essentially, you only interact with your local cache of the
network.
 + To interact with the wider network, you would need to pull users,
posts, into your local cache
   - There is no mechanism (that I've found yet) for doing this for
a one-off individual user/post
   - Except, perhaps, the repeat action?
- "Note" truncation occurs when federated messages arrive, and the
current UIs do not handle this well
 + An ellipsis appears at the tail of truncated notes, but (on
Quitter) the link goes nowhere
   - Especially infuriating because the server KEEPS A FUCKING COPY
OF THE ORIGINAL NOTE as an attachment.
 + There is a "truncated" property in the post database, but it
appears to not be used.
- Conversations are basically useless on single-user servers
 + They are pulled from the local cache, which only has posts from
people you follow, or repeats of people your follows follow.
