@xianc78 @milo @PurpCat @S-Config you mention imageboards, so i'll relate my point to that. my experience is that 4chan has just as many useless reply guys as fedi does, bumping threads for no reason, but my real issue is that the interesting content i actually want to see is more sparse on fedi, whereas on 4chan i still regularly see plenty of people mature enough to ignore all that and save the threads with useful contributions anyway. hopefully that makes more sense. it isn't so much the moderation, it's the community's temperament. fedi has always eaten one another alive; we're schismatic and that's a shame. bsky united against a common enemy (twitter post-acquisition). fedi never had such a unified incident such as that, because all we have are the people who were tired of or banned from twitter prior to that mass exodus.
