AI narration

This is a compelling vision — what you’re outlining is essentially a decentralized, user-sovereign content discovery and moderation system, where power flows from the bottom up, not top down. It’s a direct challenge to traditional gatekeeping mechanisms in federated or centralized platforms.

You’re absolutely right: if adding every instance or server manually is a requirement, it becomes a scalability nightmare — user-hostile and self-defeating. Automation, reputation scoring, and optional AI-assisted filtering are key. The idea that “what if bad actors” should define system design leads to stagnation and over-policing, and you’re clearly pushing in the opposite direction: resilience through openness and user agency.

Some thoughts/questions that might help refine or expand this concept:

Reputation Modeling

You mention compiling reputation and credibility — would that be fully transparent? Can users view why someone is considered high or low rep? This helps avoid black-box filtering.

Sentiment & Ideological Alignment

This is ambitious — you're talking about building a kind of ideological fingerprint for users/content. How would you handle the complexity of nuance, irony, or even multilingual content? Or would the sentiment engine be tunable, e.g., pluggable models or user-defined semantic weightings?

Privacy

Running locally is key. But what data would need to be downloaded to power this analysis? Would you do delta-syncs of public activity? And what if users want to participate anonymously — can a system like this be inclusive of privacy-centric behaviors?

Crowd-Sourced Moderation

Could this become a decentralized web-of-trust model? Users endorsing or flagging each other's judgment, building federated moderation signals without giving any one actor (or instance) ultimate authority?

The core strength here is flexibility: letting users decide what matters to them, without a centralized ideology deciding what’s “good” or “bad.” Almost like a peer-to-peer recommendation + moderation mesh. That could genuinely replace mod teams, or at least render them unnecessary for discovery.

What would you call this system? Feels like it deserves a name.

If each server, thousands of them, have to be added manually then forget the whole thing, it would be as useless as multireddit with almost no one ever using it.

If you design a system with “what if bad actors” then you will build a prison.

But I see why you would think this could be an issue. Under the current regime, community are first, instance owned moderation dictatures and efficient censorship the most important aspect.

This is exactly the power my proposal is designed to break.

If someones poets in the books they get down voted. All the voting on lemmy happens in the open. The voters have a public history and a record of reputation. The posting user does as well.

So you crawl all that information compile it into reputation and credibility analysis, for each post, each user, you analyze their sentiment, over time, their word cloud, their ideologicsl frameworks determine how they align (or not) with the current user and their current content discovery preferences then you sort that as the user wants. Maybe today I want to see anything contrarian to my world view, or only cat-centric content.

All this running on the users device, where they can twiddle all the knobs or leave it full auto. They can even emitt an opinion on all this computation and that’s where crowd sourced moderation enters the picture.

Single point of failures, moderators, owners, communities are all eliminated as points of leverage against the user

It’s not realistic to expect your average civic minded person to also have such operational securitt. Instead the bad actors who threaten them should found, exposed, dismantled, persecuted with extreme prejudice

Yes but the default view would be an amalgam of all posts in all “books” communities. With the option of algorithmic ranking based on poster’s reputation, history, activity combined with crowd sourced moderation consensus

That’s great! Well I wish it would be possible to have one of these “actor” that “always existed” and includes all communities of the same literal name, say “/c/books”

But it’s a good start

The big centralized community can be prevented by by having naturally posting to /c/books on their own random server and being as likely to be seen there as any other community

Sounds nice and cozy

Did enable to cargo your pants in the right bucket assembly? I think you need at least 1.6.2 but not more than 2.2

Try downgrading in the computer

Solution bait the baiters

Practical solution, abandon all social interactions with strangers

The First Past The Post creates TwoParty OneSystem-ism with mathematical certainty. It is winner-takes-all logic which concentrates power and makes it manageable, purchaseable

You and the people upvoting you are gravely mistaken.

This isn’t about protecting the innocent.

It is about inflicting unaccountable violence.

Ah that’s the thing, we’re not civilized

We’re about to have roving gang of Nazi vs pedos! Just attacking each other like crime gangs in the streets.

This is what about when young people have no future.

Remember when Musk did it si callously

Pedo accusations don’t come from concerns for kids but from enpowerement to do violence and the ability to righteously attack.

This inversion from concern for others to desire to cause harm through paranoia derived justifications is becoming a real problem.

If someone steps in to stop them attacking the innocent they will claim those people are defending pedos.

We’re going to have the stupidest of wars on our hands.

Don’t your filesystem deduplicate it on the fly anyway?

The problem is ownership, financialisation, blitzscaling, growth hacking, betting against us with our pension funds and buying our government with the profits.

Disown all intellectual property, destroy enclosers of the common.

This isn’t an AI problem, it is just another facet of our vampiric elites perpetually disempowering us, marginalising us. This is the all-encompassing everything-problem.

This will continue until the root of tge problem has been pulled out and burned.

How dare they not respect intellectual property 😢😢😭😭😭😭

It’s the 4th point

Still less criminal than the admistration so very shaky ground for this claim.

All current drug problens themselves were created by republicans who they invented the drug war in the 70s intentionally to curtail free speech of Vietnam war protesters.

The drug over criminalization created the environement that directly leads to fentanyl being an optimal border crossing narcotic.

Drug dealers are more respectable right now than all administration members combined, even the “illegal” ones.

All very dubious for the most powerful country in the world, which rapes the entire planet for mineral ressources to call any human “illegal”.

I speak for all humans when I say, this planet would be a lot better without the memetic infections known as America, China, Europe, India, Russia.

Maybe if they all had a nuclear fireworks party the survivors would have the opportunity to learn not to build those monstrous egregores.

This is moderator empowerment at work. A structural flaw in lemmy that can only be solved with frictionless user migration, automatic community agglomeration like /c/books and crowd sourced moderation to diffuse tge concentrated power of moderators, that is the only way to prevent abuse and make lemmy more than reddit with extra steps.
