This is an important thing to understand on Mastodon: you don't see all the replies to a post.

It's possible for evil people to propagate terrible hatred that only shows up for the person being attacked, but isn't visible to you.

See explanation from @mekkaokereke here: https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/111012743709881062

When Black users tell you there's racism, it doesn't matter that you didn't see it happen.

2/ This is a feature that needs improving, I think.

Three ideas come to mind (cc @Gargron )

1. Mark every post with global # of replies to remind everyone they're seeing a subset (I don't think this is a big help though)

2. Allow users to disengage from threads, exit a conversation they don't consent to, not just block users/instances. Not sure how this would work tho.

3. Make "followers only" and tagging a non-follower mutually-exclusive.

Hmmm.

3/ Well over 700+ “retweets” (I know, I know) but just received my first toxic reply. Nice change from other sites.
