you may have those people blocked or silenced but does the originating server? or are you just creating more work for a moderator somewhere else along the line

if your ideology is that it is your moral responsibility to send people’s #introductions posts to servers where there are people who will harass them, maybe rethink that one for a sec

policies like the “Fediverse Friendly Moderation Covenant” is how jerks on shitty instances get ahold of posts in hashtags to spam; posts don’t just federate on the wind, somebody had to actually send that post to that server yk

If you’re on the first page of our federation tab and nobody on this instance follows an account on your server, it’s not a great sign

shhh, it's okay, here's a blanket and a cup of tea

there has been an abnormally high take count in the federated timeline the past few days

adults are people who have to do things themselves because society has deemed them no longer deserving of structural support

what i would like to see of mastodon dev is:

- instances finance themselves and make a determination based on their finances what labour they can offer. no central financing or donation mechanism for development.

- that means all developers are there on behalf of one or more instances, who form the stakeholders of the project.

- broad agreement across stakeholders on the purpose and immediate direction of the software (i.e., a single platform). ideally, multiple different forks with different platforms, but cohesion within any given project.

- initially, a very slow pace of development. very few new features. immediate focus on increasing maintainability of the software, improving documentation, and making onboarding easier. this is a hard sell; it's hard to get stakeholders (instances) to continue to finance development which does not give them anything new. in fact this work may introduce delays in acquiring upstream features. i’m not sure how to resolve this except with tangential personal incentives like: gaining a better understanding of rails, learning better development practices, personal satisfaction at making a complex software more easily understood…

- project longevity.

- good and active communication with users (of stakeholder instances).
