I’ve been eager to try this out:
hachyderm.io/@inthehands/11062

…but weirdly, I don’t seem to get those sorts of replies anymore. Used to at first. Frequently. No longer.

Is it because the Mastodon HOA Enforcer types actually check follower count or account creation date before replying?

Is it because I’ve already blocked them all?

Is it because people have actually mellowed the f out?

Genuinely curious. Newcomers: are you getting splainy “you’re doing it wrong!” replies when you post?

Hachyderm.ioPaul Cantrell (@inthehands@hachyderm.io)@seachanger@alaskan.social My strategy for next time I get one of these replies is to reply back completely ignoring the content of what they said, and correcting •them• on a preposterous rule I just made up on the spot. Example: “Well actually , on Mastodon , you should put spaces on both sides of every comma” This repeats as long as the replies continue.

@inthehands my winning strategy is to never post AND to have no followers.
