@informapirata "the inability to reply to a public post actually increases the risk of that post being copied, linked, and screenshotted"
There will never be a perfect solution, it's true. But we can at least put up safeguards and empower people to protect themselves.
The bottom line is, the ability to disable replies is the top-voted issue on Mastodon's repo. Clearly people really want this.

"when there's already the option (standardized in Activitypub) to limit the visibility of posts to followers only."
I don't think it's really fair that, if you're a marginalized person, you have to choose between being able to reach a wider audience, and staying safe.
As a straight white dude, I never have to worry about that. It's always safe for me to post publicly. I think everyone should enjoy that privilege. (Among many.)

@fancysandwiches @sam There is already a lot of overlap between different platforms. They are mostly differentiated by how default client looks.

@silverpill @sam I think it's pretty unreasonable to ask that every developer of a Fedi project support every feature of every other product. At that point what would differentiate the projects?

Can somebody help with this weird #Wordpress issue? Wordpress keeps adding tags such as "1" or "2" in tags, even when repeatedly removed from the post and updated. Nothing works - full update, quick update in the list etc. Is it related to some plugin or is WP acting on its own? I see correct POST request, however it comes back with 1, 2 added automatically. Another thing that makes me want to really change my blog engine. Wordpress is just getting bloated by the day. #wp #webdev #php #tags

Is there interest in starting up a new server? I am incentivized to provide something for this niche (or perhaps not-so-niche) part of the fediverse.
It would be a forum. Running NodeBB. Not Mastodon.
As I understand it, the med-mastodon server shut down without warning. I don't know any other way to reach those users. Please boost for visibility 🙏
