i did a blog and it’s about internet etiquette and how we need to resist behavioural changes brought by algorithm based social media. because even on mastodon people treat replies like a public forum and it’s kind of ruining the experience for a lot of people.
it’s time to remember that replies mean that you force the original poster to spend their time on you. that doesn’t mean don’t reply, but at least think about how you approach someone, especially a stranger.
