I brought this up to the Mastodon team (no response yet), but I wonder if the solution, at least a temporary one, to the problem where people get harassed with followers-only posts that @ mention them, thus hiding these posts from public view and moderators, and allowing the abuser's followers to pile on, could be as simple as allowing to filter out such notifications. #mastodon #fediverse #SocialMedia #TrustAndSafety

"We believe that these kinds of user-generated, curated collections could help people to find their tribe more quickly when they join the Fediverse.

Great idea! "Yes, New Jersey should sue the Trump administration, but we have to do more. We should be withholding federal taxes, dollar for dollar, to backfill funding that’s illegally cut. The state should also eminent domain Trump’s golf course in Bedminster and build some affordable housing there instead. If the federal government won’t stand up for New Jersey, Trenton should."
