Concept:
A reaction button on Masto
But it's not a "fave," "reply" or "boost"
It's a "dismiss" button and it just disappears the message (unless someone else replies to it or something)
@researchfairy I was literally just writing a reply with that comparison :")
I feel like Mastodon could do much better tracking of things you've read in general, like only showing (or highlighting) new replies in threads you're revisiting
