@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.

@zkat@toot.cat @mmszk@mastodon.social Oh, it never occurred to me that a lack of post-search (aside from your own dash) would have that effect. The QRT thing makes sense, too.

@zkat@toot.cat @mmszk@mastodon.social @dzamie@yiff.life I QRB images that don't have alt text to add alt text (Pleroma has the quote-reblog feature and I use Akkoma which is a fork of Pleroma)
