In-reply-to » I forget who it was but someone here pushed back on me when I said there were a bunch of Nazi instances on mastodon, but it's true. They were one of the earliest adopters and they're still a big nuisance over there. If yarn ever becomes super popular watch out!

@eaplmx@twtxt.net To be honest I would prefer that we define things in terms of the problems they sought out to solve. If someone wants to throw up an issue to start the discussion, we can document this with the builtin pages of yarnd like in https://twtxt.net/help and in the up and coming docs.yarn.social. For reference yarnd has these controls that are noteworthy:

  • Ephemeral Twts and Yarns (with its cache design, posts are not displayed premaritally on your Timeline or on the Discover view or Front page)
  • Muting Feeds: You can mute feeds on a per-user basis
  • Muting Twts and Yarns: You can mute single Twts or entire Yarns (by their hash) on a per-User basic
  • And finally, full URI patterns of feeds/domains can be “shadow banned” on a Pod basis (which has the effect of filtering out Twts from those feeds/users from the Discover view / Front page, but not from users that directly follow them)
