in 5.0, messages and private replies will only be moved out of the feed views and profile pages. Post/thread views will not be impacted. I realize they have some particular use cases that require careful handling.

If 'whisper' subthreads is a common case for you, may I get in touch to understand more when we get deeper into exploration? @Mastodon

nice. Happy to share my thoughts here as well:

On mobile, the composer does fill most of the screen – but on desktop, one positive thing we heard about the in-sidebar composer was that it's helpful to see the context of one's feed, or a thread. We wanted to preserve that.

In terms of what happens when you "trigger another composer": For 5.0 – no changed behavior, really. We don't have drafts yet, but we want to. I have some explorations for when we get there.

Roundtable 5: A platform with flexible protections (15 May)

https://app.hi.events/event/7472/roundtable-discussion-a-platform-with-flexible-protections-mastodon-discovery-week-2026

This day will likely be more moderator-heavy, but your perspective matters here if you fall on the other end of consequences for content restrictions, too. Adult content creators, for example, are encouraged to attend (reminder: your insights will be fully anonymized). Folks who want better ways to filter their own timelines to avoid certain content will also lend a lot to the discussion here.

Roundtable 4: An internet for everyone (14 May)

https://app.hi.events/event/7471/roundtable-discussion-an-internet-for-everyone-mastodon-discovery-week-2026

I don't believe the Fediverse is a homogeneous place, but there's a lot more we could do in terms of supporting global communities.

I particularly want to make space for people who identify as a member of the global majority, as we/you have been historically excluded from access to decision-making power in tech. Neurodivergent folks, users with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ family also strongly encouraged to join.

I'm inspired to see many long-standing Fediverse supporters, moderators, admins, and code contributors volunteer their expertise for Discovery Week! I can't wait to learn from you all.

But we're missing some important voices: Non-technical users.

Which is why I have a favor to ask: Please share this post with someone you know who is a casual, non-technical user of Mastodon or any social platform. I want to make sure we're hearing from a wide range of perspectives!

I'm hosting @Mastodon's first ever Discovery Week in just a few days. It's a chance for the public to weigh in on the future of online communities.

We'll be discussing topics like user-controlled algorithms, trust & safety, creator tools, and more. Your input will help steer Mastodon towards a more inclusive and impactful roadmap. Non-technical folks strongly encouraged to attend, and there's an async option if you can't make the live sessions!

One hurdle here is localization & excessive character counts. How necessary is the explicit text 'You follow each other' – would it be sufficient to show 'Follows you' in all cases, including when you're following the person back? This considerably simplifies things and expands where we're able to display the badge.
