@feditips And yet 80% of new people are piling into about 5 instances. Decentralized you say...

@Mastodon @Gargron Disclaimer: I don't use the Mastodon mobile app but..
On the surface this looks like a terrible idea. It's like featurising the worst gate keeping tendencies of the community.
I also personally wish that development time was not spent on something like this. There are several other features languishing in the pipeline that people are anxious to see implemented.
I understand it's an effort to create a safer space but IMHO it's an over reach.

@feditips And if you're on 4.2 try search. It works wonderfully well. Also opt into search. You're not supporting surveillance capitalism if you do, you're just making it easier for everyone here to discover your content.

@feditips I personally find it confusing when people use multiple accounts. Who do I reply too? Although I can see having one as a backup.

@dansup Why don't we start with Mastodon support for captcha first....

@dansup @liaizon @pixelfed Right now we have thecanadian.social (Mastodon) thecanadian.online (WordPress) and thecanadian.photos (intended Pixelfed). The strategy is to create a federated ecosystem under one banner. I don't mind you dumping users into a flagship instance as long as you don't mind us promoting our instance there and giving users an easy option to move.

@dansup Welcome to our world said every Mastodon admin. The first tactic was to review sign ups but that now hurts your placement on joinmastodon so I personally need to suspend about 20-30 signups a day because they're advertising bots. I'm not sure if Pixelfed has a captcha system but Mastodon desperately needs one.
