Comment on A Trust and Moderation System for the Decentralized Web by tony

When talking bigtech with friends my biggest complaint is ‘why can’t I control the algorithms… give me 3 sliders with appropriate choice levels and i’ll do it meself’..

You’re clearly way above my tech grade, however i recognise a good idea.

You’ve got the 3slide thing going..
please make a general versatile 3slider algo app thingy thats appliable to different choices plugins?? or everhow it can be .. I know I want it
I’m only here cuz i’m thinking of using scuttlebut and researching a bit.. didn’t expect to see an article so mirroring my wishes.. the trust implementation is major issues. I suspect you’re on to it and it’s in the soup somewhere, look forward to it.

In reply to Fred. it could be done by adding ssb post with a "%note" for each friendship/following relation containing "UID" relation pair. Or in a shared ipfs folder only friends pair can access.

In reply to A R.

Yeah!! This idea is great… I’d like to test it in real condition by using a mix of scuttlebut & ipfs

https://git.p2p.legal/axiom-team/astroport/ could try to emulate that…

I have been thinking for quite a while that this method of ‘following’ other moderators is the best solution to the trust problems in federated or decentralized systems. Decoupling this from your traditional ‘moderation’ means the opportunity for a truly free expression, and yet still a quality experience. One point that I belive is very important is feedback. If you are ‘added to someone’s mod list’ you shpuld be notified, and have the opportunity to respond to that event, such that on the moderator’s profile there is a record of moderation evens AND a listing of responses from those being moderated by that user, in order to show the history of moderation and help a user decide whether to subscribe to this moderator.

The next step would be creation of ‘moderation coallitions’ which have a voting system within them and act as a single moderator who can be followed, in essence giving benefits of both community moderation and voluntary mod subscription.

Id love to talk more abt this!

Some of the applications on Freenet use a similar system; eg Sone (a twitter-like app)

ipfs / ipns mutable content along with “wallets” is a way we experiment.
