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.

UPDATE: deleted and redrafted per multiple requests.

@evan There are a ton of #calmtech projects that should find a home in the Fediverse as the ever present push for more clicks, more engagement and more activity that commercial social needs to sell ads simply doesn’t apply here.
