@solarbear @Mastodon i think it's too late. Hopefully a way to mute them, and opt out. I fled Twitter for the last time in 2016 after qt/dogpile accounts made it too damaging to my mental health. Fingers crossed, but worst case i find a server that prohibits them and blocks instances that allow them and we get right back to communicating.

Perhaps that is tge future. Separation into two sub-networks: a viral Mastodon copying twitter features, and a proper Mastodon maintaining all those elements that support considered dialogue rather than broadcasting.

I've been pondering this re the black Mastodon concerns, which are certainly valid. My thinking was drawing me in the direction of a split because, ultimately, Mastodon has been designed to protect minorities. Whilst not mutually exclusive I think the compromises will lead to a much less recognisable and much more messy, centralised, environment.

Maybe there is too much focus on Mastodon rather than many of the other systems out there that may already do things better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@the_roamer @whatzaname @solarbear @Mastodon the fediverse already has "neighborhoods" segregated on many lines (the biggest being use of mutually-intelligible character sets).

it's likely these neighborhoods will continue to expand and diversify, especially as Mastodon continues on its techbro trajectory.

@whatzaname @solarbear @Mastodon I'd like users to have the ability to allow QT-ing, frankly, since an issue raised around this involved consent. Like an option in their preferences they can easily check or uncheck.
