This sounds like a misunderstanding of the platform. This is intended to be a kind of public social media, much like twitter. But what you're asking for sounds more like a private invite-only chat.

@TechConnectify @colinstu Like anything else in life, advanced tasks require advanced tools. Hopefully with the decline of twitter we see more development in other software like Mastodon.. @TechConnectify @Triply @colinstu it sounds like what's needed is a user-side algorithm, rather than a Mastodon-wide change. Basically, it sounds like there's room to develop an app geared towards high-activity accounts that will implement the algorithm on your personal notifications, rather than forcing all mastodon users to use the algorithm. |
@Triply @colinstu not at all. In fact, to me, it feels like you have a misunderstanding.
For one, try to imagine life with 35,000 followers. Imagine what my notifications look like when every single reply gets pushed through. Now imagine when a good 5% of them are rather tactless and hurtful to read.
The needs of a user change as their following grows. That is just a fact of life.
