tbh, I question most of the decisions the dev team makes. Some are just absolutely mindboggling.

it is really a pitty that
#mastodon
became the face of the
#fediverse
. Here in
#Brazil
it ruined every chance to become a thing, that's why everybody migrated to
#bluesky
.

agreed.
I've even directly asked the dev team for an automated reporting system for specific keywords like regex, but was flat out told that it wasn't gonna happen.
Then right before the Brazil thing happened, the biggest complaint on Fediverse was moderation issues.

We had to advertise everything ourselves because mastodon didn't even had accepted (for 2 years) Brazilian instances in the join mastodon page.
Only now (last week) they've added 2.

Mastodon was modelled after pre-X Twitter, and Twitter, believe it or not, originally allowed you to follow people and post Tweets via text message (SMS). Hence, the original 140 character limit and the original short usernames. Anything longer than that would result in your Tweets being split into two SMS messages. The web interface and smart phone apps came later.
It is interesting that Twitter, and its successors X and Mastodon, have kept the character limits and prefer plain text even though it is no longer technically necessary.

the Direct Messages section from

Basically mentioned only means that only those users are addressed... vs. unlisted/followers-only which includes the public and follower collections.

Just so there are no misunderstandings, these delivery/privacy modes and rules are all (flawed) Mastodon constructs and have no basis in ActivityPub or ActivityStreams. Other fediverse software may or may not honour these modes; which lean heavily on mentions or lack of mentions and whether or not a particular address is in the to field or the cc field.

tell me about it. Don't get me started on how mentions are abused as a form of addressing.
