Taylor LorenzPeople who are talking as if reblogging is what leads to harassment need to understand that abuse happens *far more* often in replies. Does that mean u shoudjnt be able to reply to people? No, it means we need controls! As far as I’m aware there’s no way to limit replies on Mastodon or filter them. Would love for more controls like that to be added. Threading on replies wouod help a lot too imo.
It’s also worth noting that a huge problem on Twitter was the way the feed algorithm optimized for attention and outrage. Mastodon doesn’t have that, so it’s impossible to replicate a similar dynamic on here because of the way this platform is currently structured (which I think is a very good thing!)
Highest Love Manifest Now@taylorlorenz Yes, I am finding also that this platform doesn’t assault my nervous system like twitter did. It feels much smoother.
