@dysfun @TechConnectify @JustinH if I understand the problem, imagine every time you made a post you got thousands of replies, some of which you'd like to interact with, but a significant number of them are from accounts you've never interacted with on random other servers that are borderline abuse.
No amount of moderation on your server instance can address this problem, because your server is doing nothing wrong.
@cbehopkins @dysfun @JustinH that is the crux as I understand it.
I'm not being subject to any outright abuse that I think moderation would be fit for. Or at least, not much. But I am subject to general shitty behavior all the time, and it's much more severe than it ever was on Twitter.
The death by a thousand cuts thing is definitely what I'm experiencing, and I think there needs to (and can be) a way to make that less prominent.
@TechConnectify @cbehopkins @dysfun @JustinH As I see it there are two problems: first, people emit awful responses, and second, you see them. The latter could in principle be ameliorated client-side (or instance-side with helpful admins) by running a sentiment/quality analysis on posts and hiding "bad" ones from you. I don't see a good way to fix the first: it's closely analogous to e-mail spam, the "solutions" to which were that either Microsoft takes your money or Google takes your data.
