Can you help me understand how followers only posts are harder for moderation to catch? I understand they are not public but they can still be reported? I'm trying to tackle this problem from the moderation agle as a server block helps so many more people (if we can pull it off)

@mastodonmigration always happy to chat

Yes, @mekkaokereke and I spoke about to how best present Quote Posts and his advice had a direct impact on what we shipped. We're about to reach out for another round of discussions with a wide range of people (but I don't think we've contacted Mekka just yet)

It's so tempting to take the engineering approach and think "this feature will do it!" when we likely need to back up and talk about bigger issues such as culture and moderation.

I'm quietly contemplating why so many of my tech colleagues are on Bluesky and not on Mastodon. Not because they "Are wrong" but what are the reasons people have congregated there?

Clearly it's a one-stop-shop so sign up is CLEARLY an issue, we've known that for a while. But I think, now, given that they've got some traction, it's simply because more people are there.

Now, there is a GREAT crowd here too! I'm not too worried. Just thinking about what it would take to make them switch?
