Since people are constantly putting "Bad Stuff" on Instagram, Ello, etc., how does one deal with it on a federated platform? Is it up to each node operator to manage the liability?
- agentdrtran 7y agoIt looks like there is a community policy, which seems good, but I wonder how it's enforced? https://pixelfed.social/site/kb/community-guidelines https://pixelfed.social/site/kb/community-guidelines edit: I was mistaken, this is only for the official instance. There is 0 anti abuse tooling for other instances.
- Tepix 7y agoJust like on large centralized instances. Someone complains. Someone checks the complaint and acts accordingly. Chances are if you have a small instance with users you know personally, you will have less issues.
- tomatotomato37 7y agoYeah, each node operator maintains his own instance. The idea of federation is that the user space is voluntarily split up enough between nodes that moderation can be handled by one or two individuals, unlike a Facebook or Instagram which needs an army of contractor labor and exotic algorithms to do the same thing. If you're trying to stop the propogation of "Bad Stuff" overall that battle has been pretty much lost with the invention of onion routing (or more likely encryption) so now it's just damage mitigation, in which case see above
