@crazycells said in Posting in Activity pub:
@omega well, @julian previously mentioned that only publicly available posts can be federated... Additionally, only federation-enabled categories can be federated-out... So, I do not think anyone on these categories would be upset if their contents are federated out, since it is already publicly accessible and users are aware that it is a federation-enabled section...
However, my concern would be the opposite of this, federated-in contents... These are basically unmoderated content from other servers... well... while each server likely to have its own moderation, these posts are not moderated by us, so federated-in contents could pose problems if someone is posting something that can be considered legal in one country but illegal in another... Unfortunately we are not living in a completely free world, and not all countries tolerate free speech equally.
so, it might be important for us to distance ourselves from those posts/profile by displaying a disclaimer indicating that these posts are from other servers?
mastodon social shows my replies (which were already publicly visible anyways, so I am not concerned about those), but for the posts, since I have not created any topic on this forum yet, it does not show anything and there is link to the original profile.
Perhaps, it would be beneficial to have these disclaimers on the forum, making it clear that these posts do not belong to our forum and are hosted on other servers... This way, I am hoping we can avoid any potential legal issues lol
Hi @julian , will there be a "post queue" for activity pub posts ?
How will that work (if it has been decided yet)? I know you mentioned before about whitelisted and blacklisted servers... but I was asking about the posts themselves...
