@zarabethgeorge@mstdn.social 1000% this. Sad that some people think it's 100% avoidable. Real life dictates otherwise. @kathygriffin@mstdn.social

@twirlyboy@mstdn.ca @kathygriffin@mstdn.social Those "not being an idiot" also get COVID. Mask up all you want, get vaxxed, avoid public places, but when you have to go to work and have school-aged kids, it's pretty hard to avoid.

@kathygriffin@mstdn.social Twice that I know of. The first time was at the very beginning, thought I was going to die. The second was after having three vaccinations, with zero symptoms (thank gawd).

@jhpot and I know it's minor in the grand scheme of things but I like to add people to lists when I follow them, if I have to wait for approval, I don't see anywhere that I get a notification of said approval so I can go back and add them later. Maybe that functionality will come in due time...

@jhpot which I understand re: trolls. I guess what I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around is someone can still visit said follower's page and hop in on the conversation on any post that is public/unlisted (just not followers only) - it's just an extra step for them as opposed to having it show up in a feed. Wouldn't it be less work to block said users instead of having to approve all the "decent" ones?

@jhpot it's a beast for sure! On that note, just curious why you'd want to set your account to approve followers? I can see it if you wanted to post only to your followers only more often than not, but for post discovery and general post reach, it seems inhibiting.

@jhpot one thing I didn't see there, that I would suggest because you talk about being able to follow people, is NOT setting an account to approve followers. I can't even imagine the amount of extra work it takes someone like you to sift through them all, but it also prevents your posts showing up in a feed until you approve the follow - yet your posts are still visible (if publicly posted) when one visits your profile page. Great read, thanks for putting that together! #Mastodon #tips
