Over on birdsite, I just read a thread about people not bothering to look outside their bubble to see the general discourse* that the OP was complaining about.
Over here, I’ve seen a few complaints over the last day or so about *something* in the general discourse here…but because of the way Mastodon is structured, I don’t know *how* to look for it other than to ask.
(*Also, I’m not sure I’m using the term “discourse” right here. I mean the overall conversation on each platform.)
I mean, I get that the point of a subtoot is to *not* call attention to something specific when you feel you just have to say something, and figure those who know about it will understand.
But when it’s clearly commenting on a problem with the platform or community, I kind of struggle with:
– Is this something I should be aware of?
– Is this none of my business?
