Wildeboer’s third theorem: Every commercial centralised service that offers “free” services and relies on ads and/or a percentage of subscription/donation fees ends up being supportive of misinformation, hate speech and far-right to nazi content. Either through ignorance or acceptance.

This is because undirected interaction is key to these companies. And radical content reliably delivers more interaction. Unfortunately that mechanism has also spread to editors of reputable news outlets, leading to more radical and less nuanced content that feature extremely aggressive headlines. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy, fueled by human nature decoupled from actual physical interaction. On the internet we say things we never would say in person.

But that reality also contains the solution. It starts with one self. Only post things you would happily shout out in a public place filled with people you don’t know. That mental image helps at least me a lot. And from that follows to switch to services that do NOT rely on interaction to fuel ad networks and VC (Venture Capitalism) pockets. That’s the tough part. And #activitypub based services could be the basis for that better ecosystem if done right.

(And finally: this is why IMHO #mastodon needs a “hide reply” feature far more than a retoot option. As an OP (Original Poster) or as author of a reply that attracts radical takes, it simply is impossible to engage with each and every (troll, automated, soon “AI”) “evil” reply that tries to radicalise the discussion) cc @Gargron @evan FYI

@jwildeboer @Gargron @evanDoesn't blocking users and/or instances solve that issue?Cuz to me that does work quite well...https://github.com/greyhat-academy/lists.d/blob/main/activitypub.domains.block.list.tsv

@jwildeboer @Gargron @evan OFC the best option is likely to go full #FediPact and only allow #replies from federated instances and only federate based of an allow-list.http://fedipact.online@FediPact https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer/111693557666452263

@kkarhan @Gargron @evan @FediPact That has the problem of (possibly) authoritarian admins making far-reaching decisions for “their” users. I bet that 90+% of users on instances with more than 1000 users don’t know which users/instances are blocked by their admins. And that admins don’t observe statistics on which users/instances “their” users block. I’m not saying that’s necessarily a bad thing. Just stating the obvious reality.

@jwildeboer @Gargron @evan @FediPact Personally, I think #transparency is key here!For example @admin have their instance-wide #blocklist published.https://wiki.todon.eu/todon/domainblocksAnd whilst I don't agree with them on every point - as my blocklist is way smaller - I do appreciate the honesty and transparency on their part...

@jwildeboer @Gargron @evan @FediPact @admin Another point is to provide means to add/remove entries and appeal listing decisions.Which is why I decided to #DoBetter than #TheBadSpace instead, because that blocklist was and is an irredeemable shitshow with so many #FalsePositives that it's just not rational to explain except as @are0h@h-i.social's personal vendetta list because someone from any instance listed disagreed with him...https://github.com/greyhat-academy/lists.d#my-domain--site--ip-adresses---are-listed-on-a-blocklist-and-i-want-them-removed

@jwildeboer but it's not as if he ( https://h-i.social/@are0h ) is the only person who's having some distorted "principles" that make him a total asshole to everyone who doesn't lick his boots...Looks at https://todon.nl/@schratze

@kkarhan @jwildeboer Fuck Ro for framing, lying, ignoring critics, for spreading misinformations and run a hate campaign, shifting responsibilities, the attempt to a centralization & building an authority and the lack of transparency

@Jain @jwildeboer Eeyupp...Ro is an asshole and he has proven that time and time again...Just like the entire #TheBadSpace gang... If there are reasons to ban instances that federate with #NSAbook / #StasiBook aka. #Meta nee #Facebook [or other problematic instances like https://h-i.social ], he's one of the people creating them on a #SilverPlatter... https://mstdn.social/@kkarhan/111694465353277800
