@humanetech @rachelcoldicutt Yes, I get it. Only these are not my “network politics”. I don't understand why a retweet, let's say on climate justice, from Twitter, is not OK just because there's a lot of crappy content on Twitter. But structurally this is very similar to, for example, open source advocates refusing to open .doc files. Again, not my favored approach to socio-technical change, but I get it where this stance comes from. I would approach this as an issue of governance, at best in interconnected systems. I guess my biggest disappointment / issue with Mastodon is how little participatory governance there is. From what I understand key design decisions for the network in some cases have honestly been done based on an individual decision of a key programmer. I wish there was more participatory / community / democratic governance of the Fediverse.

@tarkowski @rachelcoldicutt

Yes, the stance of people can be drastic / principled.

On the last bit I wholly agree. I have been heavily advocating for changes to that for the past years. Things are not in a very good state and I took notes on major challenges:

The coding.social will be looking into a wide spectrum of best-practices to bring improvement here, yet we aren't fully 'live' still.

@tarkowski @humanetech @rachelcoldicutt As someone who 1. cross-posts and 2. has a hard time with the sheer amount of retweets from twitter (because of how twitter's model incentivizes this behavior), I think an option to sort out different types of crossposts would be a good solution. Not sure where to suggest this in a meaningful way.
