 @evan @kissane Evan, I wasn’t talking about you. I understand why you might have thought I was, but trust me, you’ve proven yourself to be kind, smart, and considerate on this platform. If anything, I’m talking about mastodon’s implementation in particular, but also Bluesky’s. I’m also complaining because I’m exactly the kind of communitarian who gets shouted at by fedi folks every time I talk about how this very good place could be improved, as Erin is here. 3 comments
 @evan @fraying @kissane I just really hope it doesn't fracture the network further because some servers don't agree how to use it or implement it amongst one another and defederate even more... It's definitely needed but I do hope everyone agrees with it first so that problem doesn't become worse. I love this place for the positive vibe but it really sucks that I can be following eg some cool fanartist from Asia but suddenly lose each other because stranger in Australia has beef with stranger @evan @fraying @kissane in Brazil (the server admins) without either of us even knowing. (Hypothetically, fandom is big and fun here but 99,99% of the amazing fanartists and cool cosplayers I follow worldwide are still on twitter. But you get the point, I hate that at any point you can just be cut off from anyone or whole groups beyond any control.) I get why some consider it an anti-feature, it feels like the individual user isn't in control (same as with being unable to gate replies IG...) |

@fraying @kissane thanks, that's nice to say.
I agree that reply control is a high priority. I think we can find a solution that works.
