Hi, Just to clarify, the owners of particular playlist servers can moderate them as they choose. The difference is that because of the decentralization aspect, it is not chosen by a central entity.

If this website is another reaction to reddit, you're only going to attract the absolute dregs of that site — /r/fatpeoplehate, the pedophiles, the gamergaters, etc. If someone creates a Frizbee server full of child abuse material, and it becomes popular, and is always on the front page, what would you do? Also, I made a comment on Frizbee that consisted of `[wow](file:///etc/passwd)`, and it let me post it. You probably want to whitelist a few schemes.

  Did you just put gamer gaters in the same group as pedophiles?

    You're right, gamergaters aren't as bad as pedophiles, my post implies that they are and I apologise.

      It's okay, I'm hellbanned and I can say it, yes, they're basically just as bad. Proof: go to KiA, etc. Are they talking about ethics in journalism or are they bitching about something some female did online. I'll let you guess.

  Child abuse and pedophilia is straight-out illegal and can not be hosted on voat.co.

  what does [wow](file:///etc/passwd) do?
  - pfranz 11y ago
    "wow" will appear as a link with a URL pointing to the file on your local disk /etc/passwd. In UNIX/Linux /etc/passwd is a plaintext file used to list users accounts. In the old days it would store their password, too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passwd#Password_file https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passwd#Password_file

I'm still not following how that's any different than just owning a subreddit. If I own a subreddit I can moderate the posts in it. Under your model, you're suggesting that I can "moderate" posts that initiate from my server, but not others, and once again I'm still not sure what advantage that has over owning a subreddit?

  Frizbee itself is not going to censor their content.

    So if I want to host content that other people would generally find objectionable I can set up a node and use you essentially as a wider distribution platform? And if I didn't want objectionable content on my node I would have to monitor it 24/7 to catch incoming posts? Unless I'm able to ban 'playlists' from my node. Am I able to ban entire "playlists" from my node?

    Except where legally necessary, or when someone is in imminent danger. What happens if someone posts the details of someone's address and asks people to go to their house and heckle them / hurt them / kill them? Do you leave that up? If that information is deleted, the difference between frizbee and reddit becomes so extremely marginal that one really wonders whether this really is a rationalization for allowing people to organize around threatening and stalking people online. If that information is not removed, does such a site deserve to exist? It may pass some legal standard, but is that a site that differentiates itself in any way except in its support of systematic and continued online stalking??
