- m-p-3 6y agoBasically a federated system à la Mastodon?
- forgotmypw17 6y agoI think federation is still a half-measure. Instead of one big AOL, you have several smaller AOLs who talk to each other. The system I have in mind would allow you to use the same identity seamlessly across any instances you come across, port the content while retaining threading and identifiers, and clone an existing instance within minutes. You could import the entire moderator action tree from the old instance or leave it behind. And so on.
