Recent twts in reply to #l5yaj2q

(#5ekuk6a) @prologic@twtxt.net oh, totally. The fediverse has some of the same dogpiling problems as twitter, and you’re often beholden to the administrator of the instance you joined to take care of that for you. There are tools for blocking people and whole instances, which helps, but if a dozen people dive into your mentions to harass you because they decided they didn’t like something you said, you’re stuck with the labor of identifying each one and blocking them. At some point it’d be easier to abandon your account.

I don’t have a clear view of how I’d deal with something like that on yarn.social (not that I think it’d happen), but at least since I administer my own instance I have a lot of power 💪


#l5yaj2q

(#5ekuk6a) and they’re starting to add features to promote “popular” toots and hashtags, which of course is a recipe for disaster. You’d think people would’ve learned by now how easy it is for a group of people to game popularity-based systems 🤔

(#5ekuk6a) @prologic@twtxt.net The main reason I used “likes” on twitter or on mastodon is as a kind of acknowledgement that I read someone’s post. Back when they used to be stars on twitter I did that more often, but likes remind me too much of facebook 🤢 Anyhow I think it’s maybe better to cut down on noise by not doing that, and only replying when there’s something to say?
