    If anything there should be SOME centralization that allows other (known, somehow verified) instances to vote to disallow spammy instances from federating. In some way that couldn’t be abused. This may lead to a fork down the road (think BTC vs BCH) due to community disagreements but I don’t really see any other way this doesn’t become an absolute spamfest. As it stands now one server admin could spamfest their own server with their own spam, and once it starts federating EVERYONE gets flooded. This also easily creates a DoS of the system.

    Asking instance admins to require CAPTCHA or whatever to defeat spam doesn’t work when the instance admins are the ones creating spam servers to spam the federation.








  • There needs to be a levels system instead of a letters system.


    NSF(W)1: you wouldn’t look at it in front of your boss in a corporate setting. Anything slightly risque in nature.

    NSF(W)2: Written graphic text

    NSF(W)3: Maybe a nip slip, or an African tribeswoman in native dress

    NSF(W)4: Some intermediary step here

    NSF(W)5: Nudes, porn, etc.


    NSF(L)1: Fight footage with mild-medium violence

    NSF(L)2: Death

    NSF(L)3: Graphic death. Gore. Beheadings. Etc.


    They don’t even need to be in order, but there should be a classification system. Once the classification system is implemented, we can set classifications to view/not view in our settings.
