@dirk Yeah hard agree. Exactly why I think there should be more tools for folks to be able to curate their social interactions.

If you haven't seen it before, you might like the trustnet article by cblgh. It's useful for surfacing stuff to give people subjective moderation relative to their personal preferences. https://cblgh.org/trustnet/

@beka_valentine Out of curiousity which distro and desktop environment are you running at the moment? I'm on KDE Plasma via steam OS and the krunner integration there has been pretty handy. Especially how previous results get shown first.

@beka_valentine Would something like KRunner or the command thing in GNOME or Pop OS work? I use them extensively for math, accessing files, task switching. I think most distros come with ways to customize what you can do in there too.

I think another really important tool is to know who a person follows that you follow or who follows them that you follow. this is a great way to just get context on were in your social graph they fall which can help provide more context. this can also be great for avoiding misunderstandings if you know that somebody is coming from a different social context that changes the way you would interpret what they're saying.

@dirk one cool thing js it gives morenuance and context. E.g if I know this one friend is very strict about blocking I can take their block with a grain of salt since I might not have the same criteria

@dirk It's like a reputation system yeah. Kinda like how in person there's the scuttlebutt about who in a community is abusive or sketchy to give others a heads up

I think a cool #moderation feature would be to show "how many folks I know have this instance/user muted or blocked?"

#ssb had this and it was east to preemtively block shitheads when bumping accross them.

@yhancik@octodon.social @eater TBH I'm almost tuinking of coding something and deploying it via a p2p gateway. I've done so much webrtc stuff I might we well save myself some hassle. :p

Looks like Jitsi started requiring accounts to start chat rooms. Anyone have alternatives for open source ish video calls?

- no need for registering an account
- Using webrtc in browsers
- firefox support
- "pretty" urls like "/call/my-cusom-room-name"
- open source ish and self hostable

@jeremy_list Oh jeeze yeah. that's a major mood. i'm guessing you're trying to sign and verify json data? The SSB community had a bit of a reckoning with this a while ago :P Kinda why I like using IPLD's dag-json for stuff now.
