Mastodawn

You know what's great about Mastodon? Putting effort into writing a long thread and waking up to the Self-Appointed-Mastodon-Police telling you that long threads are an "inappropriate" way to use Mastodon.

And by "great", I mean, really annoying.

No.

There are plenty of ways to uses Mastodon. Not everyone needs to use it the same way, and no one is required to follow your imagined rules.

Don't like what I post? Unfollow and block are free.

@ke7zum @mattblaze Perhaps there should be a setting similar to unlisted for threads that means even your followers only see the initial public post? That'd be kind of useful. Having clients automatically collapse threads might also mitigate that but it would create false positives with reply conversations that you would actually want to see amongst your followers.

@ke7zum @mattblaze If the goal is to reduce flooding, at any rate. I personally would like such a feature, although no clue what you'd name it that wouldn't confuse users.
