   @trunksapp I think these settings are important and they should be adopted.

   However, I also think being able to reply to anything posted on the internet should be accepted as normal. It's a public space, like a market square or a pub. If I go out spreading my opinion, then other people can, will, and should react to that. Anything else will only increase the already existing loneliness problem in the world.

   I do not condone harassment in any way, and it is certainly taking on terrible forms nowadays, but receiving both positive and negative reactions is essential for human social behavior.

     On the topic of reply gating.

     Since Mastodon doesn't support it out of the box, I had added these settings under 'User Safety' a while back.

     There are far too many people who think they're entitled to be able to reply to anything posted on the Internet, and there's far too much harassment that hides in the folds of federation.

     Hopefully these types of User Safety settings will be adopted upstream sooner than later, allowing communities to grow.
