@saintfury That's a sad statement. I see lots of people pursuing their own "protect our community" strategies, and so far, I've never seen a one that will work in the current, heterogeneous Fediverse or any other existing network.

For example, Mastodon restricts its searches to a user's own posts. So people build their own search engines to make it possible to find people and topics.

Some software has broken posting scopes: pretending scope-limited posts are "direct messages" is probably the most dangerous decision made, and "followers only" is only slightly less dangerous. People exchange contact and financial information in posts with the equivalent of a "no trespassing" sign, but there's no fence of any kind.

Finally, the worst "community safety" feature is the propaganda that tells people the #Fediverse is a safe, non-public space without [undesired group]. It isn't and it never has been. Sure, one can set conventions of behavior within their particular subset of instances, but those conventions do not apply to those outside that subset. Frankly, we'd be safer if we assume that everything we post is public, and that features meant to create non-public subsets may not work as expected.
