Kinda, I guess we all can agree it’s more typical to deserialize into POJO where theres is no such thing as missing field. Otherwise why would you choose Java if you don’t use types. This great precondition for various stupid hacks to achieve „patching” resources, like blank strings or negative numbers for positive-only fields or even Optional as a field.
I’m not sure how I feel about it. Don’t want this to cause “share” bots networks which will pump particular posters. Next logical think to do is to start showing more from those posters, which will kill the hole point of consuming content from fediverse for me. I don’t want to see same things from same people. I want diverse content from different posters
