Currently blocking people piling on in replies to an 8 month old post of mine that was apparently just re-boosted by the Mastodon Scold Squad.

This is less fun than it sounds.

Look, folks, I've already been informed that I'm a terrible person many times. I am well aware of this. The problem isn't that I'm not aware of my terribleness. The problem is that I'm so terrible I don't care.

Things I get routinely yelled at here for:

  • expressing opinions about usability and safety deficiencies in the Mastodon PM function.

  • posting and discussing photos in a manner perceived as "showing off"

  • having too many followers

  • not filling my posts with .

@mattblaze title case aside, when people complain about your posts not having enough hashtags you could point out that that would just increase discoverability of your terrible person, so it might not be that good an idea ;-)

@mattblaze I'm much more annoyed by too many hashtags than not enough. Usually it's a mediocre artist who adds a hashtag for every single thing in the picture. I saw one in my timeline with 60 hashtags. Sixty! Better to have no hashtags than that many.

@mikej The fetishization of hashtags here is one of the strangest things about this place.

  1. You're right and you should say it.

  2. They can always unfollow you.

  3. (See #2)

  4. Oh gods please don't do that.

All that said, and as annoying as that is, I'm still sticking around. Because compared with the other leading brand of social media platform, this one has fewer Nazis.

@mattblaze I want an option for the block button to make a video game power-up sound.

@jef That could be the one thing that gets me to enable notification sounds.

@mattblaze

Yeah, I simply don't care if people don't like what I post. I'm not sure how anyone who's been on the internet can get upset about these things unless it's their first time.

Thinking about what you said, would the interface's experience be improved for you by letting you toggle a setting for hashtags to display as the same color of text without the pound sign (#)?

@VictimOfSimony Not really.
