   @hendric you're not wrong, but honestly I doubt that this is making a measurable difference.

   Mansplainers wouldn't check for the advice being already available in replies even if all replies were visible.

     @rysiek I suspect the Mastodon federation methodology causes extra mansplaining because the immediate post on a server doesnt show all the responses unless you goto the original post. I noticed that posts that seem to have little interaction actually have a bunch from servers we arent federated with and/or are on our blocklist.

     i want to add: this wasn't nearly as much of a problem on twitter when i left. partially this is because i blocked so many people who sucked but we did largely manage to fix the problem over there. i think if mastodon wants to compete with other social media we need to be having these conversations and making people self aware so they change their behavior. cultures are malleable.

     the mansplaining problem is a cultural one with mastodon because it's full of cis men who have put more thought into their linux flavor of choice than they ever have about whether their behavior is useful or wanted. it cannot be solved with the twitter popup that says "are you sure you want to post this?" when you tell someone to eat shit

     i don't get mansplained to nearly as much on bluesky, and that's not because bluesky stumbled on some kind of magical feminist UI design, it's because mastodon is dominated by FOSS nerds, who have a terrible culture
