the Trump agenda on what happens regarding the internet: the overriding principle is ending the “online censorship regime”.
-
@tinkel what is “the right thing to do” in your view here, I still don’t understand
-
"To be informed when you are being throttled, shadow banned or otherwise restricted no matter what name they use."
That's a right thing to do in any platform.
-
@tinkel it depends on why the account is being restricted, I would say, no? and it depends on what ‘restricted’ actually means and what resources are available, no?
-
@UlrikeHahn
Everything depends, you must be more specific.In this case, the absolute minimum you can expect is automatic notification that you are limited, so that people don't have to waste time in confusion and can switch servers or something.
-
@tinkel “you can expect” from whom? the volunteer admin running your server? the volunteer admins running the *other* servers that have blocked yours?
-
@tinkel you said above that you see this: @mathstodon.xyz site says for me "Moderated servers: This information has not been made available on this server"
what is it, above and beyond this automated notification, that you would like to see in place?
-
I would like to see limiting being in effect before commenting.
I discovered limiting when someone who uses @mathstodon.xyz notified me when I was having discussion in comments. They saw only one part of discussion. This has been going on months. I follow many people there.
The information about banned and limited servers is in https://mathstodon.xyz/about page and I figured it out accidentally.
-
@tinkel and how would you implement that realistically?
-
@tinkel tbh, this might better be a separate thread. I think it’s taking us really off topic from my perspective.
-
@UlrikeHahn
I don't know enough mastodon protocol to say. It may be impossible in the protocol design.Blocking, distorting or breaking communication due to lack of resources or protocol design is still failure in usability and fairness.
-
@tinkel blocking, distorting, and breaking communication (aka content moderation) is also essential to having any meaningful discourse at all.
There aren’t any easy solutions here….
