If HN did implement this then would they have to blacklist bad instances? What is to stop people from spinning up bad instances faster than HN could blacklist? So we'd surely end up with a whitelist which isn't very social.
- Sir_Cmpwn 8y agoI think it's coming at the problem from the wrong direction to take an existing community like HN and make it federate. It's already too big. ActivityPub services work best with a lot of small actors, not a few big ones. And for the record, Mastodon's scale is pretty damn big, considerably bigger than HN. There are millions of users.
