Question on #Mastodon replies and CW functionality
1) It would be nice to be able to have the option to unveil all CW once you're in a thread of replies
2) I can't work out how replies are structured. Might be used to navigating forks of a thread over there... that had it's good and bad points.
3) Is there a way to sort replies to a post by most reblogged, replied to, favourited?
Question on #Mastodon replies and CW functionality
1) There's an option in the settings to automatically have all CW opened by default, if that's what you'd like. It'll be for all toots.
2) It's in replied-to order. Bit hard to grasp it at first, but eventually you'll see the logic of the order.
3) No. That's an algorithmic approach, it's not fully tracked here due to the federated nature. It'd never be reliable, so it's not worth bothering adding those features.

1) Yeah, it was more a "once I've opened this first one, I'm good with the rest" kind of thinking. Especially as it's sometimes used as a headline rather than content warning.
2) Yep getting there
3) Kinda... providing there's no wider algorithm selecting what to show me, it would still be useful for me to be able to see. E.g. I wouldn't want to reblog something that's been done 1000 times and have that come up again and again in people's feeds.
And a thread might have a particularly good reply from 1 day ago buried within 1000 other posts.
Although I suppose you would learn to trust that your followees or your local instance would reblog the useful comments - the human algorithm.
