@0xabad1dea it's because people read the Fediverse feed. They don't know who you are; all they see is your post go by. And they think the only point is to make snappy comments. The Fediverse feed is a shooting gallery.

@0xabad1dea I think there's a different social relationship when you choose to follow someone -- you've made a decision about it. Even when you get someone's posts shared into your home feed, that's because someone you followed shared them. There's a social link, even if it's unidirectional. The Fediverse feed is just new faces all the time -- accounts you have no connection to.
@evan @0xabad1dea I always forget about the global fedi feed - probably because on a single-user server it's not particularly interesting. But I wonder how many people really do just sit following that feed looking for posts to jump on and reply-guy to.
Relatedly, if a post is set with Mastodon's "quiet public" settings, does that filter out of the federated feed, do you know?
