I'm building a #Mastodon client with the API. I let users login with OAuth, then I fetch their toots and save them to my database.
If I have two users who use different instances, but follow the same account and so see the same toot, should I save that toot in my database twice?
Can I trust both of their instances to have sent me an up to date version of the toot?
