Comment on A little essay I wrote about "mods are power tripping"
db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoAll posts would be made with hashtags like Mastodon, and then each community would just configure “Include all posts with this tag in our community”. The big issue then is who moderates tags? I think a system like Bluesky has would work well, as you mention. People can moderate tags and other people can follow their work, or not.
You’re describing something like microblogging though. That’s how that works already. We don’t need to duplicate that in theadiverse. However, just a way to see merged comment sections from different communities for the same URL would go a long way to avoid too much splintering.

The way I’m imagining it, it wouldn’t be microblogging, but I’m probably not describing it well. You’d still have communities with threads, unlike Mastodon. You’d just wouldn’t have people posting “to” those communities (unless maybe you intentionally wanted to).
It’s mostly a way to get at the same thing as merged comment threads, just in a way that feels like it would have fewer edge cases to me.
