Question here. Capitalist social networks have intermittently deployed things like this. Has there been any analysis on its efficacy in improving the tone of discourse? -

The same problem, but different approaches to a solution. Comment control empowers all users, while added friction penalizes all users for the actions of a few -

Respectfully requesting that you don't consider doing anything in the composer box like this. By adding more friction/confusion/clutter, you're penalizing the vast majority of users who aren't rude reply guys, while almost certainly failing to change the behavior of actual offenders. A better idea for technically addressing this problem would be comment control, for which there is currently a widespread clamor -

I'm looking at setting up an instance with allow-list federation, and am wondering if anybody's got good suggestions on how to make it work well. A couple of specific questions:@thenexusofprivacy
I have no input on the questions of practical implementation, but I would heartily encourage you to do a writeup following your effort (probably a thing you've already considered). That would be a very valuable contribution to fedi-knowledge.On the question of adding *individual* accounts to the allowlist, that's an interesting one. That seems like the kind of thing that could become quite cumbersome without purpose-built functionality along the lines of the typical follow request. You're blazing a trail with not much in the way of tooling to assist
