Did you come here from another social network expecting more?

If there was an ellipse or a shortenend link in the post you saw, then the full content and unshortened link are probably here. Otherwise, sorry, this is the post you just saw.

How can you tell if a link is just a permalink? Well, on microblogging services I use a shortlink ending with /t* at the very end of the post. On long-form services you can probably tell that the title of the link is a complete post instead of just a headline by the way it's written.

Please accept this cute picture as an apology:

Nobody said it did federate—just like nobody said WhatsApp federated.

When we are discussing this in the context of interoperability and bridges utilizing Matrix protocol, any gateway is functionally identical, just like Free Our Feeds interop with ActivityPub, or WhatsApp and Matrix due to EU DMA.
