#Mastodon tried hard to kneecap social discovery on the #Fediverse in the name of preventing toxicity and abuse.
Little did they know that lack of social discovery would be a catalyst for toxicity and abuse.
It’s this lack of social discovery that causes Reply Guys to randomly pop into threads with neither sensitivity nor context, demanding people educate them on things when they’re called out on bad behaviour.
If only these people would read threads before talking—but they don’t because social discovery is kneecapped on Mastodon.
