@SymTrkl I am trying to make clear in a direct way that in order for me to stay here, shit has to change.

And I am tired of being told I need to change clients, change instances, use Arch, or whatever the heck.

I don't know what specifically makes this place so uniquely irksome, but a lot of it is how the userbase chooses to respond to things. And that's in no small part encouraged by the way moderation is put entirely on the receiver.

@SymTrkl I have argued many times, and will continue to do so, that one of the biggest problems Mastodon has is that other people cannot see a lot of the crap that I see, AND there aren't any effective ways for the crowd to reinforce good behavior and discourage bad behavior.

Until people sit with that reality, this simply isn't a functional social media tool for me.

Would solving just this (causing you to never see non-~public responses) be a significant improvement for people in positions similar to yours?
