Limited Federation

2024-10-12 17:46:43.349261+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Shades of the old Elf Sternberg "Balkanize Usenet" proposal: The Oliphant: Islands

Islands are opt-in federated networks consisting of a chain of allowlist or “limited federation” servers linked together. Everyone in the network federates with each other, and as such the entire network is more resilient and able to handle moderation challenges simply impossible in the wider fediverse.

Although I think Tara is doing an amazing job at moderating the Mastodon instance I use.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
