MODERATORS
Host your own fediverse (Lemmy/Mastodon) instance. See who defederates from you.
No this federation experiment is at the end for me.
I don't believe in the federation model anymore. I was looking for a p2p protocol like a big bitorrent swarm, something more decentralized where no one has power over the discussions. I want to filter the content I want to consume. I dont't need someone else to decide what I should or should not read. I was hoping for an open network where every node have the same leverage and you only mod your own feed.
So basically, you don't want people to be able to defederate from you?
No I want people to be able to block my post just as I can block other people's posts, but I don't need a moderator to block either my posts or other people's posts to be seen by everybody else engaging in that discussion, thread, theme, hashtag, what ever you name it.
When blocking is done at an individual level it doesn't silence or shutdown views or ideas from the discussions, every individual is free to not engage with people or ideas they don't agree with, but they shouldn't have the power to block those ideas for everybody else.
Create your own Lemmy community on your own instance then.
You kinda intentionally ignoring my point, I was asking for suggestion of different models, even different protocols if they exist. not instance - community - moderation based ones.
But you could accomplish your goal by just starting your own instance and then refusing to moderate content on it - sure, yourinstance/c/news might not get as much activity (or maybe it will take off) but you can't force people who prefer to have moderation to play in your sandbox. You don't need a new technology, lemmy can do what you want just fine - you can even refuse federation!
Give it a shot, try running an instance and see the difficulties in dealing with open nazis and bots.
I'm not sure, but in my opinion, moderation is necessary. Any network without moderation will be flooded with Nazis and pedophiles. I don't think you'll have a good time.
