In Aether, if you don’t like what a mod is doing, you can just disable him. Flip a switch, and everything he deleted reappears. You can also choose a non-mod as a mod.
How exactly does this work?
I assume the first part means that you can disable certain mod and then the content deleted by him will be visible for you, but still invisible for others (if they didn't disable this mod)?
But what does it mean that I can choose a mod? Will it be my "personal" mode, i.e. the content removed by him will be invisible to me and me only, or will it be applied to everyone's content? So what stops everyone and their dog becomes mods eventually?
Sorry if my questions don't make sense, but I have no clue how it works from these words.
- itake 8y agoMy other thought is if illegal content is posted, how does it get removed? Like if a mod removes it and you don't follow that mod, then illegal content would still be distributed to your machine?
- rolleiflex 8y agoIt’s an append only graph database whose edges are hydrated at the local user end. Since the edge construction happens on the user’s computer, the user can control how it is built. For example, if a user decides to no longer trust a moderator, an incremental recompile from the raw database reconstructs the relevant parts as if the moderator was never a mod for the local user in the first place.
- fireattack 8y agoAh sorry, by "how it works", I mean from a user experience standpoint, not from a technical one (i.e. I still don't get it :().
