I’ll bring you straight into my mind: I was scrolling throught the n-th depressing post of the day hour and I thought “If I answer that post/comment by #negativity, will other people be able to filter out this content using my answer?” If not, how could we build some sort of blocklist for people to curate there experience on the fediverse.
I know I can block key word like “politics” “Trump” “Elon” but sometimes it doesn’t have a precised word yet use human can categorise it easily.
It could be a nice idea but the hard part is that we don’t have the same sensibility about negativity. But i agree with you, i meet lot users thatqlowered my mood because they weren’t happy with the name or title…
I think it is easier to tag #GoodNews or #Positive
Sorry for pinging you but maybe it may interest you @[email protected]
This idea is quite similar to what Bluesky is doing, with “Labels” https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/moderation.
We’d need some way to crowdsource the verification and validity of the labels so people can’t just put low-quality or abusive labels everywhere.
It could potentially reduce the amount of work moderators need to do because spam would be labelled as such by anyone and if a few others also label it the same then it would reach a threshold where the label becomes active.
Does anyone have experience with this way of moderating content on Bluesky? How well does it work in practice?
Didn’t know that blsky has such feature. Very interesting idea thank for sharing :)
So that mean we could decide some option per label like this :
As for the crowdsource verification, that may join my idea for a mediation team where they browse, class content.
I’m activating your bell since i’m curious of bluesky experience too. :)
When bluesky blew up last year almost instantly people made block lists, curated feeds list, etc of the sort. All built in. As much shit bluesky is getting for their wrongdoings, they did make very useful good things too.
Although I have to admit I’m not a big microblogs user. I mostly follow illustrators on Twitter and bluesky, not for hot takes
Yes, this is closer to what I got in mind. I don’t use Bluesky but it seems like a good idea.
What I mean exactly was some way to build a view, or a portal, of the fediverse content when we substrate what we don’t like rather than adding it. It may take the form of label or another form. I may take a form of something close to a community or a feed throught which people browsing may get rid of content that doesn’t match the view of the "portal they are surfing on.
I don’t think @[email protected] it has to be unique. Just like we have multiple !aww community we could have a !nodowner !positivity !nonegativity portals all living along each other present each a slightly different view of the fediverse.
Thank interesting, it’s hard to imagine something different…
I’m affraid people wouldn’t understand and call it a bug whereas its just users culture and taste. 😅 but thank for sharing this idea, it’s very interesting :3
