Tbh getting real tired of hearing "QTs were only ever used for dunks" as someone who was part of a community that used them to tell our followers why they should be interested in tweets, ranging from supporting cool creative works to mutual aid
Were they also used for dunks? Absolutely. One would think better moderation on mastodon would take care of most of that by not putting bad dunkable takes in our faces 24/7
@eniko Anything will be used for dunks. Because some people will always be punks. They will find a way to be evil.
Punish the abuse, not the tool.
Unfortunately nothing is a 100% perfect cure to dunking. Just like the gun control arguments, we also cannot just deregulate the tool in hopes we can just stop all the criminals.
The system is a huge part of the problem. A system with a loophole won't get better by just reacting to the people exploiting it. The loophole must be addressed.
