It always amazes me in how in discussions of the future of #ActivityPub services that moderation is generally an afterthought.
Okay, we add nomadic identity, how does that impact the ability for servers to moderate, given all moderation tooling is built on user + server identity?
Okay, we add the ability to put people on lists without following, how does that impact moderation and privacy?
But many of us would rather agency over instance moderation.
I’m always focused on giving users as much control as possible over their own experiences, so shifting the balance to them and away from instance moderation is inline with my preferences.
Different people have different preferences in that question, but for a lot of us, such a shift is what we’d rather.
