Hi. In the spirit of XOXO and the past couple of years of preliminary work and the things that need fixing, I'm starting a micro-studio and kicking off a community support setup and fixing what I can reach in the only way I know how.

@kissane it's a messy and imperfect solution, one with plenty of flaws, but it's an existing blueprint that could help a lot and doesn't need to be conceptually designed from scratch

@CrisColor I think it’s a really interesting possibility! I know there’s a lot of weird drama and troubled history on the fediverse, so I’d want any reputation system to be designed carefully to try to avoid that, but I have to think there’s some way to collect signals about server health that can’t turn mean. Game design is inspiring there—I should try to write about how Jenova Chen (and others’) Journey and games like it might point a way to reputation signals without harm.

@[email protected] it is weirdly complex, agreed that there are ways to make it much better, and glad you're digging in. exciting!

@jdp23 Thank you, Jon!

@kissane Certainly familiar: you need to know about Mastodon before you can join Mastodon.
For the reference, no way would I change sever. Not because the instance I'm on is great (is it? I don't know!) but because the migration process seems like it might be fraught with hazard.
So this got me to thinking. Does migration need to be the user's problem? By analysing preferences and usage patterns, could instances exchange users, gradually ensuring that everyone ends up in an appropriate place?

@kissane
love this! Keep it up! -
@cyberlyra Thank you!!
