"Editing without getting a not notification"
Huh I never even heard of that. My software (being akkoma) does not do that. I mean I may get where this may come from...
Like: *"bad actor" does post which is bad/full of hate*
*gets called out*, *edits post*
"See I never said that! You have no proof!"
I just be fortunate enough not see alot of that. That one instance might be dansup or something. But normally my bubble is fairly free of shitty behaviour. I pick people I follow and only really look at my follow-timeline. I never use the federated one. That said I am a single user on my server so it would not look too different. Your post just made it to me as someone I follow boosted it. And it seemed like an interesting thing to me.
(or its just me wanting to dunk on mastodons weird desicions again wanting to everything differently and then shove it down the other softwares throats)
generally I do trust the people I follow to not be shit. And people use stuff responsibly or sometimes for fun. Though I do also see why quotes might be considered problematic. But tbh bad actors will be bad no matter.
Also you guys get notifs for posts you yourself boost?
Or do you mean when you get a notif when someone boosts your post? I thought for some time to disable those "x boosted your post" and "x favorited your post" thingies.
Though the favorites can be a nice indicator of "x has seen your post" as well. But they also can clutter up your notifs quickly. Maybe burriying the notifs for replys.
