minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·21 hours agoThat’s fine. The friction of typing in the person’s name to harass them from the screenshot does deter some people, it turns out.

minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-221 hours agoSame. I like that it is hard to go viral. It feels more like people talking and less like influencers (although there are some.)

One of the draws for someone coming off of Twitter would be feature parity, and Mastodon feeling less complete and much smaller wouldn’t help.
