A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
It already is, you just have to convince the server owner whats 'extreme' or not. Some servers hate liberals, others hate the right, some are followers of the windmill party and others would get you on a watchlist.
And the more mundane stuff like having porn and gore posts not tagged as NSFW will get your instance defederated.
What we actually need is better mod tools
Let's say I'm an instance admin. I don't tolerate some content. Why would I want this content on my server? Why would I allow users to participate in communities I don't tolerate, produce content I don't tolerate? As an admin, I can't just pretend that this isn't happening. I'll be getting reports, I would have to act on them. Otherwise, I won't be able to moderate. It sounds like creating parallel worlds within the same instance to me.
I generally don't mind, I just think this could bring more problems that it might solve.
Personally I believe that the health of the Fediverse should come before the preferences of individual admins.
And in such cases in which users manually opt into seeing content, reporting makes little sense and they can just block on their own.
The health of the Fediverse depends on individual admins. Would you say that the Fediverse is unhealthy right now, because, for instance, beehaw.org is defederated from some communities, but you'd like to see them? I wouldn't agree with that. You can always join them and see the content that you like. That's the whole point of having different instances.
I just thought the entire point of the Fediverse was kind of the ability to access any content, regardless where you choose to be. This is not only directly complicated by defederation, it also adds a whole new layer of complexity for new users, for whom this idea of decentalisation is already quite off-putting.
(Edit!: can't you just block users who you don't like what they have to say no matter how mild?)
I don't see why a couple of peeps other users get offended by because they have a different opinion but aren't bein outright harming/threatening/other Xtreme actions, should lead to those peeps' instances being blocked and or defederated. looks so pathetically bad when that happens and can also turn off new users
