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.

UPDATE: deleted and redrafted per multiple requests.

@evan Here's an alternative idea: develop software built around communities first, and features second ; or around the UX first, and features second ; instead of building software around giving dopamine to people not getting it from their productivity, following a libertarian ideology of excuse, because they would lack the economic/cultural/social/capital to develop personal projects, if not a career around them.

Don't develop software that's actually ableist and anti-poor (and thus, racist and misogynistic). This is how you can actually help women.
