Thinking of making a filter for "no at" messages. If all one wishes is to voice something but in no way engage, why even toot? Just write it to /dev/null or something?
Prompted by seeing a no-at message complaining of a tech issue that has a super easy fix the poster clearly doesn't know about, which makes me wonder why they didn't no-at the tech support email address instead. :shrug:

I actually like "no at". Sometimes someone will share something just to vent.
In real life this is easy enough to sense, yet it still took me a good long time to get this. If someone complains about their shitty day start by showing some empathy and saying "that sucks". Maybe later you can suggest a fix.
On Mastodon I really like that most people are going out of their way to be nice towards each other, so I would want to respect this. The "no at" makes this really clear.
