@TechConnectify I just like being informed. Having an algorithm making me do šŸ™‰šŸ™ˆ on my own behalf without any sort of settings or control is not my idea of being informed.
Certainly itā€™s less of an issue for me since Iā€™m a tiny nobody on here and worse for those with huge audiences and even larger variances in opinion, so I can see why thereā€™d be a desire to tone/tune it down. Just donā€™t make it one-size-fits-all.

@colinstu nobody says it has to be one size fits all. I don't know why everybody here thinks I'm forcing anyone to do anything when I point out features I would like to see

@TechConnectify@mas.to @colinstu@birdbutt.com An easy solution may be to have a developer make an extension that runs client side and puts replies on your side through a quality filter. Problem would be finding someone to do it, would probably be something that a bounty would need to be opened for.

@TechConnectify you say ā€œon twitter I didnā€™t have to do thisā€ so I can only assume (or others assume) ā€œI want mastodon to work like twitterā€ ie: one size fits all.
We all have trauma from bird site. Mastodon and AP need to improve yes but such direct comparisons may inadvertently cause this presumption and response.

@colinstu back on Twitter, I had a very modest 4k followers and I absolutely needed twitters filters to suppress notifications from people that donā€™t follow me, and I donā€™t follow.

Giving people more tools to decide how they want their experience is a good thing! Do one here is entitled to the attention of others!

@joshhunt I had 10k on twitter and I went thru all my replies :S
Depends on the audience. And/Or oneā€™s stamina to handle it I guess.
Iā€™m cool with tools being given though. Just donā€™t make it the default / not configurable.
