Mastodon has features to limit discovery and visibility, but it really needs features that allow everyone to see your shit but only some people to reply.

And if you can't immediately understand a use-case for that, then you need to stop and think about why that is.

Oh, and here's Intel's white paper on the USB 3.0/2.4GHz interference thing: usb.org/sites/default/files/32
