Is #mastodon becoming an echo chamber?
-
1) anyone can feel not welcome, whether there's a widely adopted attitude or not
2) fedi HOA can be quite unwelcoming to anyone (as black people can attest), so journalists are not special
3) that's powered by very specific *Mastodon* features, such as lack of reply policies and followers-only repliesThe claim was specific to culture and journalists.
@stefan @scottjensonHostile brigading is not unknown on other networks either. What's special here is that the technical controls around moderation make it difficult to handle, not that the culture here is particularly driven to it. And a lot of that I will attribute very specifically to Mastodon, which as a project has been very resistant to accepting critique around key safety design decisions.
