I may be wrong.it seems to me Mastodon has reached a critical mass, so it will exist in the foreseeable future as an alternative social mediaTwitter will need to invent something extremely compelling, not yet thought of, in order to prompt people to pay, vis-รก-vis a free alternativethis will push the adoption of activitypub (the underlying tech) and more services could emerge confronting other social mediaMusk's illogic adventure could mark the social media industry tipping point1/

regulators have at first given up regulating speech online leaving it to social media companies' self regulationnow they impose regulation but require companies to implement policing, given that our analogue institutions can't cope with scale and speed of the digital dimension2/

the fragmentation brought about by activitypub will put pressure on such approach as the number of subjects can virtually be unlimited (now politics and law enforcers can interact with just three entities:meta Twitter and tiktok)dealing with a more fragmented reality without curbing free speech will require institutions to invent new approaches and inevitably policies will have to become much more technical.ad hoc tech infrastructures will be needed.3/3

@quinta My only concern is the lack of an easily scalable content moderation on #Mastodon. It is very efficient with thousands of nice users, but a lot more challenging with hundreds of thousands of not-so-nice users.

@lsala exactaly the point I raised in an interview to @giornalettismo https://www.giornalettismo.com/mastodon-twitter-e-il-comportamento-di-musk-che-dimostra-lincoerenza-che-tutti-abbiamo/that's why I'm trying to help the voluteers that run my instance (mastodon.uno) raise some money to have resources to sustain moderation

@super_user_do they could, and I think this might be an option to consider as a basis for future regulation: requiring activitypub public servers to obtain a General Authorization (legal term) so that there's a registry of sunjiects that can be notified.furthermore, we will likely need- national authorities to publish machine readable decisions - AI moderation (possibily SAAS to which instances can plug into), and- a protected anonimity mechanismhttps://blog.quintarelli.it/2022/02/keynote-on-protected-anonimity-for-content-moderation/
