Maybe it would be useful to have a hashtag that means "please stop tagging me immediately, I consider doing so anymore to be harassment. thanks". people could peruse that tag and related threads to see who the clearly bad actors are (those who tagged them again) but also have transparency into how these conflicts develop. not an alternative to anything we are doing now but a way to get insight into moderation focused on obvious harassment vs unpopular speech. #fediblockmeta

My guess is #meta is thinking that being the Gmail of the #SocialWeb is better than having Elon and #Twitter dominate the public conversation.maybe we kinda disagree here. I think they do want the fedi to grow to the extent it breaks the stranglehold Twitter has on official PR, news etc. they also don't want the toxicity people associate with political talk tho. and also if they replace Twitter with threads without being open, they would force a DOJ monopoly case. the fedi is kinda their weapon against X and lifeline against the govt. growing it is their least bad option. maybe.

They'd rather be a big player but not own the space, than have an asshole increasingly lock them out. Their efforts to federate #threads (and thus grow the fedi) need not be motivated by any notion of the greater good.

I've been uploading some of my songs to Bandwagon.fm, a fediverse-powered music site.hopefully this can someday replace #bandcamp and support FOSS streaming ala #funkwhale.

People complain on #threads that by federating, they have no control over where their posts go.People complain on #threads that by federating, they have no control over where their posts go. That this can be dangerous. I guess with full federation, you can control who follows you using the protocol. That's nice.
But on most social networks, your posts are public. Even if people need to be logged in to see it, any user of that service can copy your posts anywhere else they want to. Bots can scrape them. Welcome to blogs and RSS.
Very few have thought at all about what #microblogging is.

Not everyone is, there is plenty of people on other parts of the Fediverse (using ActivityPub) as Mastodon is not the only platform that uses that protocol, sure most people created an account on Mastodon.social to begin with but often create there own...yes, that's my point. the #ActivityPub network is both decentralized in theory and mostly in practice. I don't think #bluesky can claim that. And I worry that other factors besides just having an open protocol, will mean it never becomes that either.

We need a mastodon/lemmy mashup with a name that makes it clear it's for surfacing the best info, opinions, and creative works while discussing it all in public.We need a mastodon/lemmy mashup with a name that makes it clear it's for surfacing the best info, opinions, and creative works while discussing it all in public. Basically old Twitter and why journalists still love it, but universal and outside corporate control. Here people often act like it's supposed to be your comfy community, yet it's not behind any paywalls. Don't we have SMS and other options for that? I want moderation so people won't be harassed, but I also want real debate. #SocialWeb

Hot Take: If Fedi is an HOA, Bluesky are the folks that say they want harm reduction but vote against needle exchanges and supervised consumption service centers from being set up in their neighborhoods.they are corporate. they will never be truly decentralized. that makes them uncool. they know it. they are compensating.

Real decentralization (fedi but not yet #bluesky) solves all these censorship issues, my dudes.Real decentralization (fedi but not yet #bluesky) solves all these censorship issues, my dudes. We're not having a useful conversation about all this until open protocols are part of it. And somehow every billionaire owner of a social media platform, mainstream journalist and government representative still acts like we haven't proven another way is possible. Are they ignorant or scared of what we'll do to their business models and control of the narrative? #X #twitter #telegram #meta #SocialWeb

The fedi is designed to never have the problem that #Brazil is dealing with.The fedi is designed to never have the problem that #Brazil is dealing with. Each server might have users that a government has a problem with and chooses to block, but then users can move and keep their connections. No corporate owner can fuck you. That's not really true with #bluesky or #threads yet, if it ever will be. Here we do have to worry about #mastodon and #MastodonDotSocial (or any other server/app) eventually fully dominating the #SocialWeb. But we all care deeply about that.

I can already see that if you are on the Fediverse with different account names for each instance how annoying this is when you circulate content from one of your instances to another.once all servers fully federate, why would people have separate accounts except to either intentionally post different types of content for different audiences or make sure they are speaking personally vs as an employee? this all seems positive imo. I want politicians to post some stuff as a candidate and some as an elected official, for instance.

@evanprodromou @evanI heard a rumor that's when full fedi is coming to threads. spill the beans my brotha in hellas

This was posted on X as a reply to someone's tribute to their dad.@Hyolobrika @ryan @tisha @silverpill
wouldn't some standards and norms about making account transfers work better fix this? doesn't nostr lack moderation generally?
-
This was posted on X as a reply to someone's tribute to their dad.but even after using diff email servers for decades, most struggle to understand what we are doing here or why. ours is the simplest ask and maybe the furthest we'll get most people to go. it has to be decentralized to diff servers to accomplish the basics so why not also use that to handle moderation? having people run their own servers is great but most won't do that. threads wants to be gmail. hopefully most use locality based servers for their personal accounts.

This is why people want moderation and server blocking beyond everybody having to block after they see this crap. I agree mods can go too far by blocking for opinions and even misinfo (cause some things might later turn out to be true), but if you want your server to be widely federated, you need to police for this shit. Or please just be honest and say you don't want most decent people to ever embrace federation. #fediblockmeta

Well, I got my first white supremacist reply from the fediverse after posting an article about Elon from Flipboard.we need a way to all share what we saw, how we responded and why. as much transparency as possible without violating other values. better than blocklists imo.
noauthority.social is basically the same people that were on noagendasocial.com (my first server), brought together as fans of the No Agenda podcast, managed by eriner. I don't think it's a server worth blocking cause they aren't a hub for intentional harassers, but they are very edgelord and don't want to police anyone.
