I am looking for more moderators for mastodon.social. Please e-mail [email protected] if you are interested, but please only apply if you have consistently been here for a while.

I've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's

Mastodon Tip - any emoji or checkmarks, even cool verified ones in someone’s username are just emoji. The blue check verified ones on other servers are custom emoji (techies can see them from that server’s emoji API) but don’t let them stress you out. Instead consider verifying yourself! Add a meta tag (details in the mastodon docs) with a meta tag linked to your profile. This will turn your profile links green. See my profile for an example. This may make you more trustworthy.

Wat ik voorspelde. Het blauwe vinkje dient niet meer om te verifieren, maar eerder een stap voor te krijgen in het algoritme.
De grootste hoaxverspreiders en haatzaaiers kunnen nu met een blauw vinkje gerust verder doen en zullen door het algoritme voortgestuwd worden.
