Reply guys: for the love of fuck don't reply with "that's unpossible", or "use flubbertwoot beta" or a link to the Mastodon roadmap.

Please think about why these are not valid or wanted replies to anyone who is asking to make Mastodon more useful for more people.

@thomasfuchs Constructive discussion about improving the platform on Mastodon? Now that's impossible. 😝

@Grath It's very odd, I'm literally getting replies that are essentially saying "you're not allowed to talk about Mastodon on Mastodon, the social network that's literally a collection of humans talking to each other".

@thomasfuchs One kind of reply that particularly irks me is the universalised claim that nobody wants feature X, despite a large number of people who keep asking for it.

(or e.g., β€œthe community frowns on …” as if those who want it aren't actually part of the community.)

@benjamineskola Yeah, it's gatekeeping by means of really bad logical fallacies; if at least they'd explain why but no, they're basically defining axioms.
