Yes, 100% agreed - I spend the first section talking about just that.
Ultimately I think that IRC-like networks might be a really interesting social form to explore via smaller federations of ActivityPub software. It's not something I'd want to start or run (and huge shoutout to IRC ops, it's not an easy job) but I'd love to see what such a thing looks like in the world of microblogging.
- LinuxBender 4y agoI think the global moderator concept could be applied to microblogging and all the other ActivityPub software. It's just a matter of people trusting those they link to enough to assist with zapping bad content when they are asleep or busy. There should also be a fully automated validation mechanism in place to verify that at least global moderator trust is working vs full admin otherwise the instance out of compliance must be automatically isolated from the network ring of trust after a couple automated warnings that cause a banner to display on the rogue instance.
