No, I'm thinking that we need something fundamentally different, "locked-open" decentralized... The system should be so built that information relaying happen at discretion of individual users, not of benevolent mega-instance operators, so that the acts will be interpreted in context of local moral, ethical, and legal standards(that I believe to be roughly universal anyway, but sometimes do show conflicts).
In my opinion, as long as there would be hubs of information in the network, like Mastodon instance and its "core" networks, there will be constant asteroid impacts. Therefore the system needs to be able to ingest, sign, share, metricize data without relying on broadcasts from fault- and manipulation-prone tight mesh core structures.
I think abuse and/or legal problems should be able to be handled at edge just fine, with such means as phone-sized ML models, user discretion to share or not, voluntary flagging, reporting, and source blocks, as well as tipping to classical police law enforcement, etc. Ordinary people should be good at spotting and reporting illegal activities anyway.
- vidarh 2y agoThe system is built so that individual users can choose how information relaying happens. Most users however, have no interest in doing so.
