Hi !

Welcome to our monthly thread ! I hope you are well :)

Here we will talk about feature, ui, concept accross the web and app as :

  • voting for a new mods team
  • nomadic identity
  • collaborative writting with color
  • a beautiful ui, Swiping gesture…
  • accessibility idea…
  • a personal project ?

Well, i hope we will find something fun to discuss and share. :)

    The two concepts I appreciate most are:

    • Slashdot-Style Nuanced Voting provides more variety than like/dislike.
    • Discourse Trust Levels, better moderation than power mods and automods.

    What fediverse/social network concept/feature/UI do you enjoy the most?

    the respect of my privacy, thx to no tracking/no ads.

    • voting for a new mods team

    I’ve not heard about that, is this a thing? A project?

      Admins with access to the database and logs are free to run their own analytics, and share data with whoever they want. There also seems to be a few bots attempting to scrape all available data on the fediverse.

        That was a bit off topic I guess. I really like how accessible the fediverse is by design, and how easy it is to curate an interesting feed.

        Helps that I have a fairly typical set of hobbies for the fedi demographic.

      ActivityPub makes most info easily accessible, RSS seems to be a thing in the majority of the fediverse softwares, and as the scrapetacular admin has said, administration has privileged access to what’s going on. If anything, it’s far easier to be anti-privacy silently in the fediverse, even if the bureaucratic identity identification from the headlines isn’t as easy to apply, as what the user posts and interacts with draws a pretty good picture of who he/she is.

          Btw, about being easily accessible, fedia.io and friendica.social both are private instances, and for a time thebrainbin.org was too, but neither entered a whitelist-type of defederation and so communities and users from all 3 could still be followed from elsewhere. In a similar sense, misskey.io only accepts registrations over non-proxy/VPN Japanese IPs, and feddit.it only accepts registrations if the user can speak Italian and knows of Italian news, and yet both can be followed externally just fine.
