I am concerned about the increase in crude and inflammatory comments coming from people on #Mastodon and other platforms, particularly those aimed at children (e.g. Roblox, Scratch.mit.edu, etc.). There seems to be a noticeable rise in such posts, and it's becoming a global #trend at this point. Not just from "anonymous" users (the myth on the #internet is that only anons are trolls since anonymity makes them more emboldened) but also from professionals with real names making casual posts (mostly jokes, but sometimes rants) without considering the impact their language has on others and their profession.
This shouldn't even be seen as judgmental or tone-policing or "limiting one's freedom of speech" to point this out. I'm also pointing it out regardless of whether I think the comments are intended to bother others or not. Inflammatory speech is still inflammatory regardless of intent.

Are there any good reasons to restrict follows on your #Mastodon account i.e. require manual approval for someone to follow your account? Especially if your posts are public?
Asking as I'm now wondering if this is pointless to actually protect my account from trolls, spammers or scrapers, as my posts are public anyway?

Mastodon does not have the means to comply with age verifications.
That's why I love this platform.

Un chico nuevo en el barrio del #fediverso gracias a la influencia de @albalafarga y su canal de YouTube.
Tras mucho tiempo viviendo offline, me uno a esta pequeña esperanza de un Internet más democrático.
Internet como herramienta al servicio de las personas y no al revés.

#WritersCoffeeClub Aug 30: Have you ever written as a commission? If not, would you?
I haven’t written on commission yet,
But I’d love to try someday,
Sharing stories for someone else sounds exciting.

The stench of gunpowder and fire blankets the sky of Gaza… it chokes our lungs, and we can barely draw a single breath! We are standing in the midst of a second Nakba only this time, it is broadcast
