@zkat@toot.cat @dzamie@yiff.life is that dampening or just a lack of amplification? Haven’t reviewed the relevant code myself.

@mmszk@mastodon.social @dzamie@yiff.life it's not "active" dampening. It's intentiona lack of features, like not having full text search, not having trending topics, not having quote toots (which encourage performative dunking instead of engaging like people), etc. All of those things make things more likely to go viral, but they also encourage toxicity.
