Sarah FackrellSo, this thread by @seachanger got me thinking about #ReplyGuys and, in particular, the fedi phenomenon of (what I've started thinking of as) #GhostReplies.

bad reply guys are one of fedi/mastodon’s biggest problems. I’m realizing it’s not only a demographic issue but a structural one with the platform. if people cannot easily see one another’s replies, and if the original poster can’t easily QT replies, someone with a popular post has to field dozens of nearly identical replies. if these replies enforce white supremacy or patriarchy (spoiler: they often do), the structure of mastodon tends to center and amplify white supremacy &patriarchy
