@trebach @[email protected] @nfl Yeah, just the fact that everything we're posting here on Mastodon is getting posted to nfl.lemmy.world because they think it's a user is proof of problem at least. Person @, Place !, Thing # It's so simple IMO.

@awilbert @nfl I've been in a requested to follow state for a couple days. So from Mastodon nothing populates because somebody on their end has to approve the follow. Which is again why we should make a distinction between names and places. A person should be responsible for who follows them but a place should allow it all unless put as restricted or private I guess. The expectation of I want to follow the community vs the user are different.
