@Techmeme So they found a better scam than selling $2 of bitcoin for $1 it seems.

Mit der aus dieser großen Not heraus erfolgten Erfindung „der“ Billig-Mietskaserne für den kleinen Mann schlug nun Mitte der 1950er Jahre die Geburtsstunde des Plattenbaus.

Mastodon to Lemmy Federation Test.
@fediverse

Writing this from Mastodon as a Test. Hello!

This is my first time doing this, i didn't knew that you could do this with Lammy groups until a few hours ago.

Can someone tell me how Lemmy instances handles quotes from Mastodon and PeerTube links and stuff like that? Don't want to pollute the this group with test messages.

.world has its issues, mostly because of its behemoth size. Not all bans there would necessarily be a great idea to apply on instances that are an order or two of magnitude smaller. Their needs and approaches to moderation differ in enough ways that an auto-copy would probably not be advisable, unless we can reliably categorize them. If we can tell a ban comes because of CSAM, or something like that, that would make sense to immediately copy. But a behavioral / rule break sanction is much more closely tied to the specific instance rules and moderation standard.

As the Fediverse grows, the amount and frequency of harmful spam also increases. The feudalistic structure of the network creates notable moderation overhead as every instance admin has to ban offending remote accounts and remove their content themselves, if the originating instance does not act quick enough or such delete actions are not federated properly.
An example (and my motivation for this post) are reports from the last days about accounts which post CSAM content. This is especially problematic, as media content gets duplicated to every receiving instance.

The following idea came to my mind: A software which sits on top of Activity Pub and creates a kind of court. Instances of this software are independent courts. All users can elect admins / mods of their home instance as judge. Everyone can post a case via normal Fedi posts to the court and the elected judges give a verdict via majority vote (votes are also normal Fedi comments with special formatted content). Once a case has a verdict, all instances should immediately apply the decided action against the offending content / account. This can be done via a bot which is set as an instance moderator and follows the published verdicts of a court instance the local admin trusts.

This way swift action can be applied through all instances which follow the court at once. By having periodic elections it is kept democratic.

And the task of the court is to defend universal rules all following instances agree on. Not to handle politics between instances.

What are you thoughts on this matter? Or do other approaches to solve this issue already exist?

Update:
From this came the idea that instances can follow mod actions of other instances and apply them if x% of other instances did the same.

I think this is an interesting approach which might be better than my proposal. So I would like to hear your thoughts about this too.

it's absolutely amazing, i love all the stupid shit like this that it has, it's integral to the experience even

Interesting oddity: The above post links www . senate . gov and www . warren . senate . gov . When displaying the linked URLs, Ruby Mastodon and its derivatives cut off the www. for readability. However, this is causing people reading the post to type "warren . senate . gov" into an address bar instead of clicking the link. And "warren . senate . gov", no www, seems to turn out to be an invalid domain
