Oh, and about the data bit that I neglected to mention, if #SimplyPlural was storing data so sensitive that volunteers are not legally allowed to touch it, that means Apparyllis had access to what I imagine was extremely sensitive user data. I can't be the only one who feels iffy about that. Like, password and email hashing are a thing to where I wonder why this data was just sitting unencrypted for several years. Sorry, but that just doesn't sit well for me when the majority of #plurals are mentally-ill.

I am disturbed that mastodon #moderators have #hidden a #post from someone going by What We Gonna Do Luv [or something like that] #criticizing #feminism as #narrow and #white. While I didn't agree with that at all, I had prepared a #reply #debunking the concept, with a huge #list of extremely #influential #black #feminists - which now will not be seen!!

I agree. There's been an issue open requesting Mastodon reply controls since 2020, so hopefully this will be implemented sometime...

GoToSocial **does** have reply controls. If you'd like to try them out with a test account I can point you to an instance.
