Hi, fediverse Web and mobile client developer.

What if you added a speed bump in the reply flow to slow down users for just a moment?

"Do you really want to reply to X? Will they appreciate your reply?"

Maybe just the first time they reply to someone; maybe easily turned off in settings.

If it makes people think for just a moment, it might help with making the fediverse a more welcoming place for women.

But Evan, do you think the trolls and a'holes will care? I think they would simply say yes and troll as usual
While creating a friction for those who actually care and wouldn't say anything mean

So IMHO this is counterproductive
