It's important to identify these arbitrary lines in the sand, thanks.

I had an idea that servers could issue out "equity" or voting shares. Decisions like moderation teams, federation, or other choices could be voted on based on users stake.

These shares could have other uses as well.

I'm curious - why does each instance have its own copy of each others content? isn't that going to cause a ton of bloat over time?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I think it would be really nice to have a "fediverse map" for each server, to show where they're connected to and what instances are endorsed back.

Would make finding new servers/communities easier too

Splitting hairs, but I think rather than implementing a partial defederation, I think it would be better to set user rights for a given federation instance. Some federations you might want to allow view only access, access to a certain "tier" of communities, etc. Make the rights customizable so its as granular as needed by the server.

Additionally if the main community declines in quality I'd expect users to migrate

I have concerns that centralized activity will have the reddit problem - administration on those servers may not be ideal or quality could deteriorate over time.

I had an idea that I wanted to run by people that are more familiar with lemmy and decentralized hosting. I've run it by some people I know but they don't have the familiarity with the fediverse to have it easily explained. The idea is not fully fleshed out so would love any sort of criticism or refinement this group could offer! And, apologies if i'm describing something that's been discussed to death or been done before.

What if servers came with their own currencies/tokens and ledger?

When an admin hosts a server they get a pool of currency that they can issue out, either as "karma" or in exchange for fiat currency to fund server hosting. For smaller servers this currency could be disregarded, but as servers grow and become more relevant in the greater fediverse, the currency/karma could grow to be valuable.

This "Currency" would be transferable to any other member of a server in any amount - as karma, in exchange for services, or whatever.

Additionally, the currency could be used for voting, maybe on admin teams or moderation policies. These could all be at the discretion of the host. I believe it would be best that the admin team has full control of the currency and the ledger but haven't ironed all that out yet.

This would encourage a number of valuable behaviors:

  1. Users would be encouraged to enrich their local communities
  2. Servers would be encouraged to moderate their servers so their currency is viewed as valuable by other communities
  3. Funding of servers by the user base is a bit like equity - you buy in to a server but anyone is free to treat the currency as meaningless or as gold
  4. Bad actor servers currency would be meaningless and irrelevant. If a host is acting in bad faith, the users with no stakes can freely migrate to another server. Ones with a stake can pressure the host to cut it out.

To take it to a mid developed system, I see users of prominent servers with large shares of the currencies as being valuable - they either started the community or were important to its establishment. If I see a post on a programming thread from a user who has 15% of currency of a prominent Computer discussion server, I may choose to value their opinion more heavily. Or not, but more info is always better I think.

In a late stage system, assuming I'm not overlooking something, I really feel like this would be an awesome place to be.

How does discord make money? It's always concerned me what data they're harvesting.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks! This is an ideal method for keeping servers in check once user base starts gathering steam.

Side question but I assume servers have the ability to make communities private. Is there any segregation of content when it comes to federated users? For example, could you make content only visible to users, or federated users, or federated users from a specific server? Thinking in terms of bad actors exploiting bandwidth

How does Federating work? (latte.isnot.coffee)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi all, first time posting. I've tried googling a bit but its not totally clear to me. Say I have servers A, B, C, and D.

Can servers A and B federate, and then separately C and D federate?

If so, can A B and C be federated, but separately C and D be federated, so D is not recognized as federated for A?

If A, B, C, and D are federated, and it becomes apparent that D is a bad actor, how does D become defederated?

I feel like these kinds of situations are critical to ensure long term success. I really appreciate any answers anyone can provide!
