@poVoq yes this sounds sensible. I think the key is the user themselves having more control over their identity.

Have you read https://nexus.blacksky.network/zine/00000001/confederal-protocols similar themes that we’re talking about here.

@JonEFive

@JonEFive I think the identity bit is the hard part, as you say most content will be federated/ cached in several locations for retrieval

https://webauthn.guide/

https://webauthn.io/

@JonEFive

WebauthN maybe? Pretty niche right now, but the threadiverse is quite a techy crowd…

@JonEFive

@JonEFive I’ve been wondering about separating the ID/auth from the app. Someone recently got Keycloak working and that has some possibilities for federation. Not sure if that really helps though. You still have to trust the keycloak admins

@JonEFive I do run an instance that’s just for me https://fledd.it (configured as a news aggregator) it was easy on elest.io. $10/ month is too much for most people though. I don’t think this is the route to mass adoption.

@Ori I’m making the US regional, I forgot to add in a default for areas outside of the covered regions. It should work again now.

@JonEFive Multi-magazines are certainly desirable and would to some extent mitigate the data loss caused by an individual server going dark.

I guess the larger issue is if your ‘home’ instance is the one that goes dark, taking your personal account with it. Maybe it’s in fact user account portability that’s most important to work on. Assuming that multi-magazines happen fairly soon.

@HandsHurtLoL Arguably you’re not the magazine owner. The server admin is. That’s kind of my point.

@pgetsos How about now?

Yeah, I was thinking that too. I don’t think I can do it automatically (yet) but if there was another big spike or kbin.social went down for some reason it could be manually switched to another instance.

@ernest have you read this one?

I wonder if we could/ should enforce moderation ratios in code? You need 1mod per 1k users for example. Your magazine is locked to new users until you add one.

@FaceDeer Do we? Or do we have lots of small groups in the same space?

It does seemthat Mastodon culture is different to Threadiverse culture. I’m OK with that, Mastodon is a little earnest for my tastes. It would be nice if we could keep the worst of Reddit out of here with robust moderation

@rikudou I’d also run into this. I run a bot on Lemmy.world and had to unmark it as a bot before it could interact with my Kbin instance

The Fedifinder dev seems interested in adding this as a web service https://github.com/lucahammer/fedifinder/issues/236 is using kbin to authorise a third party app possible yet?

+1 yeah I should have said that

@plisken Technically I like all this stuff.

These are not my people though, it’s all shitcoin hype in the feed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA-jiiepOrE&t=6s

@JoeClu

Reminds me of this essay https://nexus.blacksky.network/zine/00000001/confederal-protocols I think Nostr get’s much of that right.
