One answer is client-side based moderaton social networks.
If I want to read moderated comments I should be allowed to. Or in the same way I could choose to let others block things for me.
- Retr0id 11mo agoDoing this entirely on the client side falls down when you want to moderate something because there's too much of it (e.g. bulk spam)
- koolala 11mo agoThe fix for that is to join your own community spam filter. It's the same way ad-block works. Community run blocklists. I don't think servers blocking denial-of-service spam attacks is the same socially as moderators censoring speech they don't agree with. The same goes for content that is illegal for servers to host.
- Retr0id 11mo agoRight. The issue is not about client-side vs server-side, it's about the user being in control.
- analog8374 11mo agoYes. Exactly. I prefer that I choose, 100% , who I talk to and what I say. And if somebody offers me the service of filtering or editing all that, I have that option.
