@TechConnectify I imagine the reason for this was because Twitter was filtering your replies based on some opaque algorithm. The trade-off being that there were probably messages you missed because—for whatever reason—Twitter decided you shouldn't see it.

Moderation remains one of the fedi's greatest challenges. I'm not a Mastodon user, so I'm not as familiar with its moderation offerings, but Friendica (what I do use) allows for user-defined filtering based on regexes. This is obviously not the ideal solution for everyone (especially those who aren't particularly technically inclined) but if available, might be useful to you.

On that note, I will likely mute this thread by the end of the day because every time I comment on one of your posts, my notifications go bananas for days. It's almost as if you have a valid point or something. 🙃
