I&#39;ve only gotten those replies from people I know, seemingly being shy.<br/><br/>Makes sense, though. If the replier has no followers in common with you, it&#39;s kind of like an unsolicited DM. It removes the potential for others to see the abusive reply and take action against the replier. Maybe Mastodon should indeed ban or limit this.<br/><br/><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/112900814211359536">https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/112900814211359536</a> 2024-08-04T04:20:27Z
