I don’t use Mastodon so I have no idea what’s going on, but I am curious what y’all in this thread would want Mastodon to do.
Can’t you set up an instance and moderate it to your preference like other federation style apps?
What specific features are you saying are needed to make Mastodon more usable for any community that might find itself feeling less than welcome?
People have had standing requests, and even PRs, for features for years. Many of them are for exact kinds of things Bluesky has implemented. Some have been for similar features but at the server level.
The requests have gone unheard, the PRs have been ignored. So, what I’d have Mastodon do is listen to those requesting better self-safety features, or hurry up and die so development team that actually gives a shit can gain some traction.
I mean tools help somewhat but really the solution is on a social level, for people to start giving a shit.
Can you point me at them? Which ones?
