@TechConnectify serious question: what do you think about the YouTube‘s ability to „quality filter“ the comment sections in comparison to, say, fedi? Being a „creator“ myself, I definitely get a lot of obnoxious comments that don’t technically cross the moderation line.

Does it bother you more on mastodon, because you treat it is a more personal communication method? Or do you perhaps not engage with/read the YT comments at all?

@notthebee heading into the YouTube comments set to "most recent" is a legitimate nightmare for me. I do not do that, I let the algorithm sort them for me.

When viewing "top comments," it's generally a decent place.

And I guess if I can put it in words, it would be that I need some way for Mastodon to handle replies the way YouTube handles "top comments"

It's not perfect, but it's better than the raw firehose.

@notthebee but, I will grant you that I don't know the size of your audience on YouTube and mine is huge at this point. It's literally not possible for me to read every comment, so I don't spend much time in the comment section.

So to your point about this being a personal communication thing? Yes. That is a big difference, and I would like to use this tool for that peacefully.
