An informational message to manage replies. It reads:

NO RESPONDAS PARA DECIRME QUE NO TIENES ESTE PROBLEMA

NE RÉPONDEZ PAS POUR ME DIRE QUE VOUS N'AVEZ PAS CE PROBLÈME

Most of these are more specific versions of the “This is an observation / do not attempt to help / no reply necessary" first, general one, it seems.

a spooky jazz dad..

@danhon i think it's fine to spell it out for people who may not get it.

it would be more efficient to have reply-sticker-generator dot org

but i'm sure i have, like, actual work to do

idk, seems like people want better ways / more options to manage replies

@danhon I love mastodon, but also I turned off notifications from people I don't follow a long time ago and it made me love mastodon a lot more. Even more granularity/control over this kind of thing would be amazing.

mhoye

@danhon You're doing the lord's work here sir.

@danhon I'm curious to find a German word for "mansplaining".

Maybe “Männerkonzeptsrückerklärung”

@janl what do you think?

Jens Scholz ⍟ replied to Thomas

@thomasfuchs @danhon @janl it's mansplainen in German. We use the same expression. The sentence in German should read
"antworten Sie nicht, um mir meinen eigenen Beitrag zu mansplainen."

Thomas 🔭🕹️ replied to Jens Scholz ⍟

@jensscholz @danhon @janl well yeah, but I feel like there should be a over-the-top German word for this, because reasons

Robert Atkins replied to Thomas

@thomasfuchs @jensscholz @danhon @janl The French won so hard with “Mecspliquer“ the Germans didn’t bother playing.

@thomasfuchs @jensscholz @danhon @janl if it doesn't have to be one word I'd say "väterlich belehren"

@danhon These are wonderful. What did you use to make them?

@luis_in_brief -- I would also love to be able to use these in a client via a dedicated button.

@danhon The french translation is off.
May I suggest this, instead?

"Ne pas répondre pour 'mecspliquer' mon propre message."

Thomas 🔭🕹️ replied to Dan Hon #xoxofest

@danhon It should be “Eine Sache, die mir gefällt”

@danhon Never have I thought that social media should offer a bumper bar more

Iwillyeah

@danhon

Do not reply to make this post about something other than what I have said it is about.

Do not reply with a conspiracy theory seeking to explain bias as something other than bias.

Pithy, they ain't, but the amount of replies I see on other people's posts that need this said to them does my head in. (I never post things interesting enough myself to get reply guys✌️)

@danhon similar to "you don't have this problem" but possibly useful would be "DO NOT REPLY TO TELL ME TO RTFM [WITHOUT INCLUDING A SPECIFIC, RELEVANT, AND HELPFUL CITATION]"

Sara Joy :happy_pepper:

@danhon I was gonna say, the blue one says 'no reply necessary' but maybe we also need a simple DO NOT REPLY.

Andrew Feeney

@danhon Huh, this never happens to me. 🤷‍♂️

Alaric Snell-Pym

@danhon is that really a thing? I've never seen people do that!
