MIT study on deceentralized moderation as a model for countering disinformation:

"This work shows that a decentralized approach to moderation can lead to higher content reliability on social media, says Jahanbakhsh. This approach is also more efficient and scalable than centralized moderation schemes, and may appeal to users who mistrust platforms, she adds."

There are only three quantities possible: zero, one and many.

@EubieDrew He plans on adding the top 2 features from 4.0, editing and translation. But it doesn't track with mastodon releases anymore. @freemo

@obi @freemo

Looking over the git for this fork (git.qoto.org/qoto/qoto), I can see there's no going back. Is this qoto fork used anywhere else? I would think someone might.

@EubieDrew It's a fork of Mastodon, with many additional features.

Arriving at mastodon after twitter feels like arriving at a farmer’s market instead of Walmart.

@junosz what happens if a 1M follower account boosts a post from a user on a small instance?
