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.
@mauve So your opinion depends on other people's actions?
@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
@mauve Never was a fan auf algorithms and never will be ... This is one of the reasons why I left corporate-owned social media.
@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/
