this place is bananas; smonky <3 free internet without moderation
@smonky Other than the Cat posting Bot (awesome), all the rest is the underbelly, the less appealing side of this network.
Some might come for that, but I wouldn't build a network for that alone.
Luckily this can be ignored or filtered out as each user prefers.
@design_RG I figured it out by now, cheers Rob. I like how the moderation is left to the user. I hope to see this evolved into something community driven. Like mark content as [whatever], which then allows you and others to filter by [whatever] e.g. I don't want to see porn but I don't mind seeing graphic reports of police brutality from Hong Gong. NSFW is too wide and not everyone is tagging it.
@smonky Yes, there's alwys room for improvements -- I just made a thread with a #wishlist of mine, which is to enable Rich Text in toot postings.
Can be done, it is being done in some instances. By having ideas and trying to find ways to put them in practice we make things better.
A tagging system that was built into Mastodon itself would be ideal - so it might avoid mistags by users. Kind of like it senses the language in the post.
@design_RG Language filter would definitely help! I can't find it in settings. I'll go have another look. Thanks for pointing this out.
@smonky Which allows us to filter out all kinds of Foreign ones we have no idea of content -- a major time saver in the Federated timeline.
That simple thing, clicking a few buttons in Mastodon preferences, and you eliminate all kinds of Unreadable Kanji and East Asian scripts.
Some times of the day, the traffic from Asia is very heavy, and most would be taken off by this.
