FeralRobotsOne of the many things that puzzles me about Pre-#TwitterDisapora Mastodon culture is the expectation that one can control what remote applications that aren't baseline-#Mastodon are doing with one's content. You're putting your comments on the public internet, using a channel that requires no authentication. Any strategy to inhibit abuse (theft, brigading, etc) is always going to be partial. You're always going to be mitigating, not solving, BY DESIGN. Expecting more is an error.
Being hostile to #TwitterDisapora was a CHOICE old-school Mastadonians made.
& esp being hostile to black folks, but also AFAICS to queer & trans folks coming from a different cultural context.
Instead of 'we don't have quote tweet, sorry' it was 'you're wrong & BAD to want that.'
Instead of 'please tag posts about racism/transphobia/politics so I can use filters to pretend everythings's fine' it was 'CW all of that or your're a horrible person who deserves to be defederated.'
