Top-level
@Gargron cool cool, just wanted to be sure. Option 1 seems to encourage mods to engage more personally with users, while option 2 seems to scale to more users. One appeal of Mastodon for me is the idea of small communities, so option 1 seems to encourage keeping a server small (because it may not scale to large user bases). OTOH I understand the appeal of scalable mod tools. Do you have a preference at this point? 2 comments
@Gargron That's a good point. I was imagining a workflow where a mod deletes a post, and separately messages the user explaining why. This is really only possible on a smaller server, where the mod can feasibly engage with individual users. But I see now how it wouldn't play out like that in practice, particularly on large servers. Disclaimer: I have no experience being a community mod so don't take me too seriously. |

@nick I have a preference for 1 now but I don't see how it makes mods engage more personally. I just click delete posts in the mod interface and the user gets notified, and maybe next time I see an indicator that tells me it's worth clicking suspend instead
