I published a paper from a first-person perspective about how features on #Mastodon leave enormous loopholes for harassing behavior (OA, 🔗 ⬇️ )

I came over here in the Nov22 wave & never left, but I no longer invite people to join without giving (loud) fair warning about drawbacks. I can't in good faith recommend Mdon to anyone who's more likely to be on the receiving end of harassing behavior

We have proof of concept, but the stakes are *urgent* to improve!

#Commodon

This from @stefan is important!! I too conclude that technical features cannot solve cultural problems, but solving the problem of not being able to control who replies would still help a good deal
