kayenne is a user on social.wxcafe.net. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse. If you don't, you can sign up here.

One of the problems shared by many social media platforms, is the "pile on" effect. Someone says something dumb and the entire Internet shows up on their doorstep to mock them.

Twitter has this problem in spades, it's one of the reasons it has a bad reputation for harassment.

As far as I know, there is nothing technically preventing the same problem here in the #fediverse though.

If it became a social norm to just star people who have already responded instead of piling on, that would help.

@HerraBRE i mean that's already happened several times here
Just without the @mentions, so it isn't quite as annoying for the subject
