To me, @pixelfed@mastodon.social’s new comment controls are an incredibly big deal, and something I’ve been pleading for Fediverse developers to implement.

It was always a big oversight that, while Fediblock exists, you’ve never been able to control comment permissions. This has created unfortunate situations where, when harassment and dogpiling suddenly happen, there’s little the original poster can do about it.

Well, this will soon change.

@dansup@mastodon.social has pioneered comment controls and we can all use as a model to build a safer .

Thank you to Pixelfed for this big step in community safety!
