Comment on The problem of cross-community posting

That's one of the issues that need to be worked through. It's a totally legitimate concern.

In cases where communities with polarising viewpoints discuss the same topic, it would lead to inter-community disputes and exacerbate some instance relationships.

One solution would be to have the original community be responsible for moderation, and moderation actions from cross-posted communities only affect their "view", so to speak.

I don't know what the answer is quite yet.

and moderation actions from cross-posted communities only affect their “view”, so to speak.

But then if someone posts insults (just to take a simple example), then the original community mods would have to moderate it, and can’t rely on the cross-posted communities mods? Wouldn’t that lead to cross-posted communities mods just consider that the original community mods are the ones responsible for the moderation, and leave it up to them?

And in that case, then the OG community mods would probably just prefer all the comments to happen on their community where they can delete comments and ban people.

  Agree, this basically feels like it would generate various dark incentives in the Fediverse. A bit far too similar to the social networks we are supposed to escape from, even.
