I'm trying to wrap my head around how #MastodonEngineering / #Mastodondev happens, particularly around planning and proposals.

It seems like this is all through github issues marked `suggestion`. This seems to result in a large number of suggestions addressing the same general issue and I can't find any central point for discussion of the issue to develop a coherent solution.

I'm relatively new here so probably I'm missing something?

Currently I'm interested in probationary accounts that reduce user friction at signup while still providing some buffer for moderation review during on boarding.

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/36730
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/36831

and likely others all address similar concerns and of course my thought are slightly different than any I've seen (yet)

Writing another "suggestion" or adding the same comment including my thoughts to all the relevant open "suggestions" both seem like bad ideas...how is this supposed to work?
