I'm more a "quality over quantity" guy, but if you want more people to come over here, you need to provide the tools that folks have been asking for for years. Like quote posts, and banning racist accounts. So many people come here and give up because of the toxicity, and they are the ones who you would have wanted, because they post interesting, fun content.

@Okanogen @Gargron Yep. These are the things that, if not addressed, will burn all the diversity and goodness out of the ecosystem. I know centralisation is out of the question, but some facility for meta-banning and blocking is needed, and a way for the "good" instances to firewall the nazi randos by default.

I've been "warned" by some that they are considering mass-blocking or defederating from mastodon.social.becsuse of these issues, especially spam, bot, and abusive new accounts. Who can that possibly help?

@Okanogen @Gargron Especially since it's the landing zone for a huge percentage of first-timers.
