Currently being extremely disappointed by a certain popular person continuously complaining that, paraphrasing, Mastodon is not exactly like Twitter, and not actually doing anything with the many recommendations that have been provided over the past months
@joepie91 I've been thinking about this topic. And like...would we also just suggest blocking and muting to disadvantaged people? It's quite a lot of emotional labor to have to do that every day if you're big. I guess that comes back to the scalability problem.

@robinsyl But that's the thing, "just suggesting blocking and muting" isn't what happened, there has been a large amount of offers of help: https://social.pixie.town/@joepie91/111513924065977393
And there's a very big difference between "supporting marginalized folks" and "making privileged folks not experience any discomfort" to begin with, which becomes very obvious in the laconic way they've been commenting on CWs
re: meta
@robinsyl (And relatedly: I'd rather discuss potential solutions to these sorts of problems with people who *don't* completely ignore the potential implications for other folks of their proposed 'solutions', like this person is doing - because I find that a very self-centered way of approaching the problem)
