Mastodon has attracted people, and trolls have started to move in.
I want better social controls than birdsite. With Mastodon, though, the system's core is one guy.
If we want something done, we have to do it. That's the joy and heartache of open source.
So, what do we do? Is there an existing conversation or hashtag?
@mwlucas i know this sounds like "shoo shoo" but it's honestly one of the best ways to deal with this sort of thing
@mwlucas #MastodonDev seems to be the hashtag for, well, Mastodon Devs.
@mwlucas there's more than one instance
move to an instance with better social controls/moderation
if you're feeling adventurous run your own instance :I
