I think ultimately something like that will be the solution. And maybe it will just be that you can subscribe to any other user’s block list, and perhaps they can in turn subscribe to yours, and basically within your peer 2 peer network the block list(s) are federated. You could potentially even have a block and whitelist where when someone you think shouldn’t get blocked gets blocked you personally white list them, and in the case of conflicting block and whitelists, a consensus based confidence list is created where some users just don’t show in your feed if enough percentage of your block list follows block them vs whitelist them, and users near 50% show in your feed in a collapsed “controversial” mode

P2P social networks have a moderation problem. Individual users are all their own moderators, which works like the “block” feature on Lemmy and KBin. However, this can get super exhausting so fast. There’s only so much fascist, homophobic, or transphobic bullshit a person can tolerate in an online interaction before they just give up and leave the network because it feels like there’s nothing worthwhile there.

There may be a solution to this problem someday, but for now, you have a choice for P2P networks. You can give up on user discovery entirely, as in Secure Scuttlebutt, where your network grows as you get invited to follow people or invite people to follow you. Alternatively, you can give up on moderation entirely, as with Nostr. I think either are fatally flawed presently, making federated services the best choice for having good control over your social networking experience without having to do every single part of it yourself.

Refederation! They anticipate refederation! DAMMIT

I’m probably going to be writing up a guide that tries to use non loaded language to describe the different flavors of lemmy for when my friend joins when Boost becomes available. But I actually really like that there’s !politics@lemmy.world and it’s very centered, there’s !politics@beehaw.org and it leans left, and there’s !politics@exploding-heads.com ans its very right wing conservative. I want to make a guide because I think the downside is none of the domains clearly denote the makeup of the moderation teams beliefs without some investment into exploring the fediverse and seeing what’s what.

Lemmy.world had open signups. There was a large influx of trolls that took advantage of the open signups to do so and then brigade Beehaw. The Beehaw admins like and respect the lemmy.world admin and anticipate defederation.

There’s also the Perthchat one

Beehaw has a pets community. That’s a start

I just want to be able to adjust the stereo without looking away from the road. Is that too much to ask?

A guy walked up to me on the metro once and said “always be wary of unsolicited advice”

Threw me for a loop. But also turned out after processing it, pretty good advice

Off the beaten path option, I really like Lems. Your calves will need adjustment time, mind you

I think everyone should give journaling a go. You can do it on your phone. You can do it with your laptop. All told, you don’t need to purchase anything to start. But also you can get nice paper and nice pens and make a production out of it and really enjoy yourself while you take care of your mental health

Yes. And also horses.

It’s also super fun and its quirks make it an excellent choice for something you can sink your teeth into while you’re in the hospital
