The Discourse community software (https://www.discourse.org by @npub1g63…ezt9) has a brilliant system whereby a new user acquires privileges by participating in discussions — liking/following/posting/getting liked & followed, etc. It really keeps spam at bay and seems like a model worth following. This has been figured out, largely, and doesn’t offload the effort to individuals.

You all know how much I like my morning croissants.

so many of my followers never engage with any of my cat photos (at this point, for my own sanity, I mainly post cat photos), though they do still engage at *some* level, which suggests I’m not muted, so I can only assume they still follow me at all because I hashtag the cat photos ruthlessly. 🤷‍♂️
