Informal Lemmy U.N.?

I can see this going well. But I can also see them creating issues by consensus, such as “defederation blocklists” and “user blacklists”, they also have our names, emails, and IP addresses right? Instance admins have quite real power already. Perhaps users also ought to have such democratic discussions?

I agree with you. What do you think we as users could do to make this happen?

Also on a sidenote has anyone thought of creating a publicly owned instance before? I wonder how that would work.

I suspect something like this already exists to some extent on discord or matrix servers. Which probably works quite well.

It does

Yes, most admins are in a matrix chat.

bigger instances would have a veto power and smaller instances might be forced to take the same action as them if they make a collective decision, even if they don’t want to do it personally.

Danterious OP , 10 months ago

That’s why I included the words informal, but I get your point I hope it doesn’t become too bureaucratic and is just a place for admins to build trust and communication with each other so federation/defederation is a more conscious decision.

Things are already like that somewhat, as far as I can see.

Smaller instances for the most part need to have registration signups or capcha as a minimum, otherwise they risk swift defederation from larger instances when spammers arrive

As lemmy’s mod tools improve I see things moving away from this approach though
