Hi, fediverse Web and mobile client developer. What if you added a speed bump in the reply flow to slow down users for just a moment? "Do you really want to reply to X? Will they appreciate your reply?" Maybe just the first time they reply to someone; maybe easily turned off in settings. If it makes people think for just a moment, it might help with making the fediverse a more welcoming place for women.

Fediverse developer, when someone reports a security issue with your software, there is one and only one correct course of action. Say thank you. Prioritize an immediate fix. Publish a hot patch version for all applicable major versions within hours or days. Publicly acknowledge the report. Avoid minimisation, whataboutism, personal attacks, and complaining about the work involved.
