ok so now that bluesky is imploding (lol) can we take mastodon's problems seriously
1. mastodon is lacking basic features to moderate harassment targeted at an individual, so it's hard to argue that mastodon has sufficient moderation. Because when you get a "private mention" reply, you have to individually moderate it, and the same thing happens with public replies that come from tiny or single-user instances.
1a. in fact mastodon completely lacks content-based moderation
1a.i. in fact mastodon is lacking 2005-level email moderation technology
2. you can't report someone who's blocked you
3. other people have more comprehensive lists probably
