But what happens when the moderation and filtration mechanisms are inevitably corrupted?
- hedora 6y agoIf it is decentralized, it will not have or need moderation or filtration mechanisms. RSS works fine without them.
- Reelin 6y agoIf it's fully decentralized why wouldn't the user change their selected mechanisms? If all they have is voluntary subscriptions to others' feeds, in what manner can that be corrupted? If they voluntarily chose to subscribe to a centralized third party as a data source or moderator how is that different from what we currently have? (And why wouldn't they just switch?)
- jMyles 6y agoIn my vision, the tooling to perform moderation and filtration is independent from the data hose, so one can pick up and move to a different moderation regime when unsatisfied. I don't think we're ever going to have harmony with one single arbiter at the center, especially when that arbiter also has a financial interest in the overall network.
