The Fediverse currently has popcon features built in as well, namely, the number of likes and boosts of a given post, as collected by the home server of the post. The home server is the one that does not count interactions from blocked accounts, so a local-only view filter that only the home server knows of is enough to solve this as well.
- klabb3 3y agoInteresting. That would probably be a better place to keep the blocklists, and trust your homeserver to not expose it over API is more reasonable in terms of trust. It’s funny how the article focuses on friction to circumvent blocking, which is real, but doesn’t mention that their solution greatly reduces friction of discovering who blocks who. Because traditionally that discovery is tedious and not scalable.
