Meta about masto adoption, bigger picture stuff I guess 

All this talk about what mastodon needs to do to become a high-adoption social network begs the question that that should happen in the first place. I'm not sure why the common assumption seems to be that growth is the end goal of every network project. Sure that applies for capitalist projects where the objective is to put adverts in eye balls and make money. But using growth terminology in this case feels like a mismatch to me. Can't quite put my finger on it.

most important reason for getting a bigger, nicer desk: space to put the fox plushie

re: mastodon api griping 

so I think the best i can do is:

- on load, request newest X toots from the timeline (up to the second toot in the stored historic timeline, so you can detect overlap)
- if there's no overlap, add a 'gap' element which renders as a triple dot/load more
- at the same time, open the websocket stream for new events. hope you didn't miss anything between the head of the timeline, and the first websocket event you receive. Just to be sure though, you could request the range between the websocket event and the stored timeline
- on websocket reconnect (or page reload), repeat this whole dance
- cry because all the added complexity in favor of never missing a cat pic in the timeline
