@dk I've used this for a few weeks, it seems it does get less reliable. @tb posted something earlier about some offering a similar service and apparently Twitter has introduced a limit of 300 posts/hour on his service. That would explain the spottiness.

This is an unusually optimistic account of the dynamics of moderation on Mastodon in terms of scalability, based on what could be called a 'virtuous cycle of intra-community dynamics' with de-federation as the measure of last resort. A bit like the threat of forking in open-source projects.

"Instead of expecting instance moderators to moderate incoming toxicity from thousands of other instances, instance owners can be held heavily accountable for their users ... Since instance owners are either running their instance for community purposes, or for profit via donations, user loss is very harmful. As such, there is an economy of accountability which shifts moderation to the source, rather than the destination. ... With instance moderators held accountable for their own instances, this significantly reduces the moderation burden on other instances. It also creates a double-moderation system, where if some badness does slip past the source instance’s moderators, moderators on the recipient instances can pick up the slack."

@jk ok. Fair enough. But what is face recognition doing for (rather than to) you (or me). Not really anything. Unlocking your phone (meh). A few funny apps (meh). Having my pictures automatically classified (half useful, half annoying, but clearly a byproduct).

@jk you tell me! Has there been anything that is both technically advanced and socially meaningfull. I guess you could say AI in general, but Siri, Alexa etc are clearly not it.

I'm trying to think of a substantial innovation coming out of the silicon valley model of tech development over the last 10 years. I come up empty. And, no, Web3 doesn't count.

@dk I'm not sure about this as a blanket general statement. Even Bitcoin as a mass medium relied on trackers and fora and much of the backbone of filesharing was provided by people who ran servers with their libraries.

Also, I could easily imagine the "self-sovereign" wing of the crypto movement seeing itself in exactly this tradition.

So, more generally, I think the problem is not hierarchies as such but democratic decision-making.

This instance here is also intended as an experiment if we can come up with a shared understanding of being together and people doing the work to maintain the place.
