    Yeah, but let’s take a step back for a moment here and look at how the Fediverse is run by people. These communities and instances are all equipped to take action, moderate, curate, and create.

    The people on the Fediverse are well equipped to grapple with the Paradox of Intolerance in a public forum without the walls listening in and making decisions about doors.

      without the walls listening in and making decisions about doors.

      I’m not sure what you mean with “walls listening in” when we’re talking about a public forum, but the doors are perfectly openable. As the creator stated elsewhere, you can unban individual pages or delete the whole list. The “decision” is more like a suggestion.

      I understand you’d rather not have that suggestion preconfigured. I personally see no harm in it.

        I’m not sure what you mean with “walls listening in” when we’re talking about a public forum, but the doors are perfectly openable.

        What I mean is the code infrastructure of the public forum doesn’t need to do what the users operating the platform do. These sorts of flags and tags for judgements on commentary have a direct impact on interactions between users, which is the door part of analogy.
