Can you give examples ? That’s partly why I ask this question.
- Comment on What principles you wish to see social networks (or the fediverse) adopt in their design? 6 days ago:
I think having instances or communities dedicated to that would be wonderful.
I think having separate identity providers would work well with this. Those identity providers could optionally verify age and location, and your instance can just trust them on that to make it exclusive to certain ages or locations.

You can only filter and sort what was downloaded by the client. So that runs into resource constraints.
There shouldn’t be resource constraint issues in downloading new content Metadata from all your subscriptions
tags
When I say “standardize tags on all content”, what I mean is make it a standard to have the option of having tags on every type of content, and treat tags as a first class attribute of the content. The XKCD you reference is not relevant.
That’s more the ATproto/Bluesky vision.
Sure, they use it. But it is compatible with activityPub as well.

I’m so far paging, and it’s so annoying this isn’t the default design on the fediverse.
On 4, I also agree, but what’s the best alternative?
- Comment on What principles you wish to see social networks (or the fediverse) adopt in their design? 6 days ago:
I think instance owners should retain the ability to make some blocks non-negotiable. They are responsible for the instance and legal implications after all.
- Comment on What principles you wish to see social networks (or the fediverse) adopt in their design? 6 days ago:
I do like this, but it does require responsibility from the user to maintain their keys. I think having it as an option is great, alongside the identity providers I speak about.

That’s precisely why I call it necessary, you’re right!

Thank you for listening to my idea, and I’m glad you like it :)

The first issue you bring up would be resolved with the idea of separating identity and authentication as separate providers from instance providers. In fact, it’s much better than just relying on a small difficulty, as that is more likely to discourage a well meaning non-technical person than a malicious actor.
Wktn separate identity providers, your instance can trust the identity providers that have good reputation. And if I want to be seen by your instance, then I have to have one of those identity providers approve me.
Different identity providers will have different standards and requirements.

The downside is that if you’re new to the fediverse, you have no way of knowing whose lists you should follow.
Isn’t the whole idea that you choose a trans-friendly instance and you naturally adopt the instance wide blocklist? Same thing here, except you choose the block list similar to choosing an instance in the old flow.
And if you disagree, this could still easily be mediated. For example, the instance could have a default block list. As long as one can opt out, that would respect user choice.
Or choosing the blocklists can be part of the account creation flow.
There’s others ways to go about it.
Beyond that though, on an instance like blahaj, it would be largely irrelevant, because there is no scenario where I let transphobes federate to the instance
What I suggest isn’t meant to take away the instance owner ability to defederate or moderate. But this makes it such that you don’t have to modify your moderation strategy when your users can adopt different moderation in addition to what you have. (example: maybe a large group of your users want to block US-centric content, or political content, etc.) and people not on your instance could possibly adopt your moderation as well!

An easy middle ground is the ability to sync your block list with someone else. This gives the same capability you desire, but allows users freedom to do it on their own. Everyone’s happy! What do you think?
- Comment on What principles you wish to see social networks (or the fediverse) adopt in their design? 1 week ago:
I agree with this. I think instance owners retaining ability to block other instances is still unfortunately necessary, if at least for administrative and legal reasons. But putting the onus on granular blocking controls on the user is a big achievement, as I prefer the user to retain that control.

What exactly would be controlled differently under this direct democracy?

- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 4 months ago:
Final Fantasy: strangers of paradise
It has a co-op mode (up to 3 players), which is a huge plus for me.
Whats great:
- variety of weapons and combat styles
- aesthetics
- Variety of enemies
- co-op mode
Whats decent:
- combat
- character customizations
- level design
Whats meh:
- exploration and rewards
Whats not good
- story. Wasn’t really interesting and some parts I didn’t understand.
Overall I really enjoyed it, because not many coop games I can play with loved ones.
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 5 months ago:
If you just make it public it wouldn’t be an announcement, and it wouldn’t have the irreplaceable first impression effect that you fear, because the only people who will see it are the very curious ones like I am.
At least explain to us what it’s all about if you won’t post it. I would love to know and see if I would be interested in contributing!
- Comment on I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good 5 months ago:
I don’t want to watch the people who aspire to do it as a job. They saw some influences online who are profit driven and think they can get similarly rich. Many see it as an easy job (it’s not).
I want to watch people motivated by their thirst for creativity and sharing knowledge, and if money comes their way they will see it as secondary. I would prefer them to do something else as a job.

It seems it does, but when I tried it it didn’t work very well. I don’t remember why, but it wasn’t exactly what I hoped.

Where? Please show me as I’d rather contribute to or fork existing projects

Friendica does
- Comment on Building A Multi-Platform Feed Reader App - is it Worthwhile? 6 months ago:
Email is a great addition, I didn’t consider that one. Thanks for that!
I’d love to add reddit and other big social medias even, but their restrictive access policies aren’t very promising.

For the mid Atlantic area there’s “hiking upward”, it’s pretty awesome.

That’s actually what I use as well currently. It doesn’t replace all trails completely but it’s something

Can you clarify what you mean by Chromecast support? I have a Chromecast device and it has the jellyfin app on it. Works like a charm without issues. I have a feeling you mean something else though?
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 10 months ago:
I disagree that this is a concern. If you are already exaggerating about federation wars, chances are you already tried lemmy and know a good bit about selecting instances. The average user will not care as much as you do.
The average user will go to join-lemmy site, will not care at all about the different instances and likely choose the biggest one or first one they see. None of them will think “oh no this one is involved in federation wars” because thats not something you find out before knowing some about the fediverse.
