   Folks on this webbed site need to learn when to not reply to posts 😬

     I am actually pessimistic about this idea. The Eternal September is here to stay. It's in people's nature to selfishly think everything is about them and that their opinion is both unique and desired. For every person who learns when to reply and when to… not reply… 10 more just joined who haven't learned.

     The tools need to reflect this imbalance.

     I *also* choose to lower my expectations, but for every person who has learned to lower their expectations, 10 more just joined who haven't learned.

     @annika I'd be really curious to see a take at federate social media that both A) emphasizes specific communities that are capable of defining norms and allows users to feel confident that those norms will be respected when they want them to be, and B) still creates the possibility for broadening horizons and encountering strangers. But it'd have to be something fundamentally different than fedi and in this space we need more tools to protect against followers-of-followers-of-followers

     @clarity Yeah, I think the default behaviour of talk-to-everybody is *not* the right fit and maybe even should not be the default.

     These Pleroma features seem great: https://social.treehouse.systems/@ariadne/112871410180889800

     And Tobi has a great post about GoToSocial's future https://gts.superseriousbusiness.org/@dumpsterqueer/statuses/01J3ZA0WHYXMBJP2ERYG3JEPNM

     Mastodon has LIMITED_FEDERATION_MODE but I don't know what the admin experience is like, and anyway I wonder if user-level options would be better

     I'm excited for the trend of reply permissions, which seems to be gaining traction

     @Hyolobrika A particular problem is people posting about a struggle and getting unsolicited advice. Federation can also result in partially visible threads, so you end up with a hundred replies saying the same unwanted and unneeded thing. That's a frustrating situation that Mastodon doesn't help mitigate (e.g. with reply controls)
