@dynamic Pleroma: better performance and more features! :blobcatthumbsup: As for encouraging better behaviour... not sure there's good technical solutions to social problems.My biggest problem with fedi is the block culture. Perhaps nostr offers a solution to that...

I'm especially interested in hearing arguments for #ActivityPub platforms that are specifically designed to cultivate particular behavior and interaction patterns in users.

Not a lot of responses to my question about the best non-Mastodon ActivityPub platforms.To elaborate a bit, I'm specifically interested in information about the best-designed alternatives to Mastodon. Mastodon, being Twitter-like, was always rather clunky, but I'm not getting good vibes from the newest features, and I'm wondering if there are better ActivityPub platforms that are developed with a coherent design philosophy.

I'm not even particularly concerned with *what* the design philosophy is, as much as that there be one. That is, I'd like to be able to read a set of philosophical guiding principles and have a reasonable level of confidence that the developers will try to stick with those, and not (say) start making changes just because they happened to be on the wish list of some of the users.

@taylan Thanks.I think I should clarify that when I say I'm interested in "platforms that are specifically designed to cultivate particular behavior and interaction patterns in users," I don't necessarily mean "better" behavior.

@taylan There are a number of different social media where the interface really does shape styles of engagement. For example, StackExchange's upvoting system and tiered permissions structure, combined with clearly laid out posting guidelines, produces a specific type of engagement between users. Opinions may differ in how good or bad it is, but the interface design does shape user behavior, and this is framework was intentionally created to promote certain forms of technical support.

@taylan Reddit has an entirely different design philosophy, and is designed for a different purpose. Facebook has evolved into a framework to encourage users to engage interpersonally, whereas Twitter's interface encourages people to engage with content instead.These are the kinds of differences I'm trying to probe, and I want to know about any cases of ActivityPub platforms that have put active thought into what kind of behavior their design choices will promote.

@taylan @dynamic push a new norm. the often blocked servers should stop tolerating asshole users who tag people with shit they probably or definitely don't want, and the other servers should not block servers just for hosting accounts that post stuff they don't like as long as they don't bother others with it.

@wjmaggos @dynamic The problem goes deeper than that IMO. It's what some people consider to be "intolerably offensive" in the first place. I'm on a single-user instance, and am on some supposedly "minimal" block-lists because I support feminists and gay rights activists whom your average white male liberal fedi admin finds intolerably offensive for not agreeing with his worldviews.Apparently, a basic feminist idea like "a woman is any human being with a female reproductive system, no stereotypes attached; a man is any human being with a male reproductive system, no stereotypes attached" makes me as bad as neo-nazis and racist 4chan trolls, because it contradicts the religious slogan "transwomen are women, transmen are men, non-binary people are valid."

@taylan @dynamic right. I'm asking that this changes. That we compromise.

@dynamicIt depends on what you expect.Friendica/Hubzilla are definitely the most developed Fediverse platforms. As multi-protocol platforms with an add-on system, they are extremely customisable. In addition, as the original Fediverse platform, they were created with strong data protection in mind. The feature density can make them a little more demanding to use.
