One of the worst misfeatures of #Mastodon from a safety angle: If you get an abusive reply to your post, you can't remove it even by blocking the person. Even after blocking, your server still shows the abusive reply to everyone else.

There has been a patch ready to fix this for 2 years, 6 months, and 1 day. @Gargron has not approved it, and has provided *zero* explanation for why he will not allow it to be merged.

@graue In completely unrelated news, @Gargron can't figure out why Bluesky is picking up so many users lately while Mastodon's numbers are hardly climbing at all...

Completely unrelated. Really.

@kagan @graue @Gargron we know why it’s picking up users, firstly its the algo, people overwhelmingly prefer being fed content as opposed to searching it out

read the article on when instagram tested going algo vs chronological time line, it blew the top off the chart, the algo is what people want

secondly the federation aspect is friction, it’s an extra bit of info people don’t need to know when they go to bluesky

@ikt @kagan @graue @Gargron It is absolutely not the algo. Ppl hate that. It's that ppl are used to the bad paradigm of app=platform=serviceprovider and communicating that that's wrong, why, and how you have to pick an instance is hard and not conducive to quickly picking up casual users.
