    Its very nice and allows you to post on the original post, the cross posted post, and all other places. Its truely federated.

    Hmm... that's nice, but the comments are still separated.

    It would be better if the separate reply chains were integrated but I know there are potential issues that need to be thought through.

      They are separated because communities have different rules and different moderation teams.

      I know as a user that the same comment on instance A and instance B would be perceived differently. I also know that if I report a comment, it will be reviewed by different mod teams.

      As a mod, having a clear view of what comments have been made in my community and which ones have not also helps.

  This kinda erodes cultural differences between different communities though. Different communities may have very different approaches on how to talk about a post. I feel like this approach just leads to monoculturism.

    I think you may be overestating the amount of crossposts that happen for the idea that it would somehow cause ‘monoculturalism’

      Do not eagerly misread what could be an evidence of the converse - that we already have low policulturalism because of difficulties in implementation and this feature is just going to nail the nail in the coffin.

        I am confused as to what you are getting at here. Piefed crossposts display post content from different communities separately within a link post that is crossposted.
