The best comment I've seen on a development discussion about Mastodon in a while:

“I think in the grand picture, Mastodon could use with less clicks for common functionality and not more. Especially on mobile, more clicks or manually copying things can just mean it's inaccessible in practice, especially if you're looking at people with poor finger coordination. I don't think the right way to limit abuse is to only allow nimble-fingered people to use it.” – ell1e

Another good one from the same discussion (the contemporary conversation around quoted replies, which is well worth reading the whole of):

“You cannot solve social problems with technical solutions. It. Does. Not. Work.
The only thing which prevents abuse is moderation. Delete abusive postings, delete abusive accounts, and defederate instances which won't cooperate.” – gitsbi
