I donate to #mastodon project mainly to get quote posts.
When you eliminate the #algorithm that incentives nastiness to generate more impressions for more ad revenue then it removes incentive to abuse quote posts.

@anttipeltola @Gargron Also, besides the lack of algorithmic amplification, you could point to the very different motivation structure of moderators here. They are on our side... so just outlaw pile-ons in the server rules and trust (and train!) the mods to meaningfully interpret and enforce the rule. Our moderators are like referees in a soccer game: 'always right' 🤣 |
@anttipeltola @Gargron Sadly, for some people the nastiness is its own incentive. "The cruelty is the point". But yes, with granular controls for the quotee.
