@mint if only there was a technical solution to people wanting to talk on a social network
@menherahair @mint There's arguments for both and both are valid. Neither is a good default that won't get people angry/confused. Welcome to software development :D Only if there wasn't this little filtering icon in every tl view that allows doing just that.
@menherahair >THIS IS A THREAD FOR ME AND MY FRIENDS, WHY ARE YOU POSTING IN IT?
Because I can and I have words to say, duh. Sounds like Discord guild would be more fitting for you.

@phnt @menherahair The whole idea of a reply inherently holding less value than the starting post is a part of engagement farm mindset.

@mint @menherahair why hasn't he made spw into a discord server yet then
@mint @menherahair is he stupid?
@lina @menherahair FediUN paychecks o algo.
@mint @menherahair how do i scam the fediUN for paychecks
@lina @mint if you read carefully he only dislikes "rage replying" which as far as I understand is when a person sees something they don't like and replies to it in a way nobody enjoys. how the fuck has he figured that
1. unpleasant people existing is a problem you can solve with platform design
2. unpleasant people existing is a problem you *should* solve with platform design
much like yourself, is beyond me

@menherahair @mint i think i concur with mint saying that he just wants his threads to be for him and his friends cuz what else does he mean by rage replying? he wants a friend only chatroom and thats fine to want that
but why the fuck is he trying to make that on the fucking freddyverse

@menherahair @lina @mint You can't solve it, that's the issue. There will always be some retard that reads only one post from the whole thread and replies with "you are the truest example of cattle I've seen so far, if you think like that k thanks bye." It's an internet culture issue that been a thing since it's adoption. You can ban these people from your instance, but that changes nothing as their account will pop up somewhere else even more destined to shit up threads.

@menherahair @lina @mint just go on bluesky where half the thread is missing because someone in the thread blocked someone
@phnt @lina @menherahair @mint all that happens is you get resetera where discussion is impossible because everyone is banned for "drive by trolling"
@phnt @lina @mint as much as I'd like to I wouldn't call having to exist with people on earth an issue and this is just an extension of that. as far as I'm concerned we're living in a blessed time with the most graceful solution ever conceived: they're posting their inane ramblings on some shithole on the internet, possibly on their own dime because the platform is community driven, and you can mute them if you're a pussy. there's nothing to fix!
@menherahair @phnt @mint if you tell people to not care about spergs then the spergs will start getting uppity irl
who fuck my chicken?? 
@lina @mint @phnt well I know how, you fail at driving them out. at one point human life was easy, you throw the undesirable into the desert and he starves. then there were more open communities and he goes there, so they have to drive them out too and then he may starve. now we have internet and our wonderful untameable fediverse where any ideas can foster communities unless the gov intervenes, but they don't, in fact most of the world strives to provide egalitarian care.
there's only two correct approaches to social undesirables:
1. ignore
2. be cruel
then they starve and die. if they're not starving people are failing at the above or are in fact somehow desirable. now people around the world are taught daily to not do the above while we search for a miracle method that's more humane and probably doesn't exist so half the place is naturally ran by psychopaths and pedophiles

@menherahair @lina @mint all of you are midwits at best, except mint, who is smart but chooses to make posts like this, understanding what I said, because he is also the only one who read the whole thread.
@lina @menherahair @mint he knows I'm not arguing for censorship or making an impotent plea for people to be more polite, something that is never going to happen. All I said was, the basic design decisions of a social media app affect the outcome, and drive by comments bothering people are the natural result of dumping every fucking reply in someone's tl even if they aren't participating in the conversation. This is a really fucking simple concept.
@mint @menherahair @phnt it's not, in general. but random replies can be! your entire interpretation of my post is wrong. please adjust.

@mint @menherahair @phnt why should a reply my friend made to someone I don't even know be blasted to my timeline, it's like this image just sending your boys in for backup
@feld @menherahair @phnt @mint the idea of budgeting your attention is weird and wrong to unemployed internet schizos with all the time in the world to camp on accounts and subpost weeks old posts.
@sun @menherahair @phnt @mint we should make a social network for men who are unemployed or on disability, it will have all their favorite people on it
@feld @menherahair @phnt @mint to be fair that is in fact this network and giving people individual tools to budget their attention is an uphill battle.
@menherahair @phnt @feld @mint I’m interested in hearing about it for real and not just getting insulted and sub posted about it
@menherahair @lina @mint It gets annoying when you are trying to have a discussion and some idiot completely derails it, which is also what happened in that thread. There's a solution to this, but it has so many repercussions that it isn't worth it (picrel)

@feld @menherahair @mint Because it's one of the ways to find interesting threads to read, ie. thread visibility. If I hide replies from my home TL, I wouldn't find half the threads I find interesting.
