> - it's often noise because you can't act on it (because you need to use X) "screaming into the void" is noise; replying to those screams with suggestions if anything would be an attempt to denoise the network by promoting actual conversation. The problem here is as I've pointed out that some people clearly don't want to have a conversation — what the value in that? Why post something on public forum if you don't want to have a discussion? Especially when mastodon supports private toots — if you really want to went start a journal or toot "unlisted" or "followers only". When mastodon just started out federated and public timelines was a joy to read but now it's just constant screaming and yelling and utter thought vomit to the point where I'm certain that nobody browses federated or even public timelines anymore. At the end of the day it seems that it's a design flaw of twitter that promotes toxic screaming rather than structured discussion and Mastodon as a platform hasn't really done anything to address this.
