Honestly baffled

@jonny @elduvelle Yeah, you're not wrong. I reiterate my "followers-only replies should be filtered by default" stance. I've made private replies to public posts before when I wanted to confidentially alert the person to something, but for the life of me I cannot think of a valid use case specifically for "visible only to me, the person I'm replying to, and all my followers".

@mekkaokereke @james I'd go as far as saying that the fediverse is kinda shit in ways that are invisible to the majority of the people who thrive here. The mix of deep survivorship bias and folks who are actively abusive to keep things the way they like it means that Mastodon will never be the network to fill the niche that Twitter and Bluesky fill

- small instances are perpetually being fucked by the big ones.
- your social graph exists at the whim of every damn site it touches
- and we get a "you're doing mastodon wrong" for using it the way that even the algorithm averse ex twitter person wants to use it

@wotsac @mekkaokereke @james hopefully we can make some forward progress on these areas. Spam is something that the new FSAP protocol / specification is wanting to tackle (as well as discovery)
