@jeder mastodon itself is one thing, but clients that use masto api flatten everything even when accessing a backend that understands threads (such as when viewing an akkoma account through tusky)
@jeder Now that I think of it, it should be possible to piece together a tree of statuses by using "GET /api/v1/statuses/:id/context", but the frontends don't do that. Part of the problem might be that the masto api spams lots of info pointlessly (like full account info with bio for every status), and people might want to avoid making too many requests for this reason.
