Attached: 2 images So I've noticed new behavior on Masto the last few days that I don't think I'd seen before. It looks like some posts get automatically visually collapsed, even if there's no CW. As best as I can tell, this applies to posts that either have a lot of hashtags or @-mention other users. I can't exactly nail it down, but I assume it's some kind of anti-spam behavior. This is definitely behavior that would be harmful to creators and artists on this platform, ESPECIALLY if it is based on hashtags, which we've been repeating over and over to creators how important it is to use.

Is it possible to turn off the post auto-collapse glitch-soc provides by default, so people who want it can opt-in to it? It’s personally pretty annoying to expand every post, and while there is a way to disable it there seems to be the occasional problem where it resets that flag.

As mentioned in that post, it’s not great if getting more creative types is a goal - auto-collapse includes images, not just text. Sharing art, commission open status, etc. would be pretty hampered if every post gets hard collapses.
