Une application Web privatrice développée par une société privée ? Je préfère une application Web libre développée par une organisation non mercantile.

Apparemment je ne suis pas seul à détester les boîtes noires.

Ceci écrit l’arrière-plan du site d’accueil du réseau social W me plaît bien, même si une application en WebGL devient vite gourmande en ressource.

      I have addressed this idea before in some detail although I don't remember where to find my screed. Here's the gist of my ancient long-winded musings.

      0. The first line of moderation should not be the instance admin. Each user account should be able to moderate mentions of their ID, or replies to their comments.

      1. The top poster of a comment thread should be able to moderate all reply comments under that thread.

      2. Instance admins should only delete posts that are clearly designed to offend, hurt, or viciously attack, bully, harass, gaslight, annoy etc. but should never delete a post simply on ideological grounds or heated but honest disagreement or debate. Telling the difference is very simple in almost all cases: tone and mindless repetition being the biggest giveaways of the respondent's intent. If it becomes an unwanted or unproductive argument the top poster should be able to quash replies.

      3. Users should be able to click a button to block and entire thread regardless of who posts to it.

      These things are not a major problem for me since I'm on a simple instance and I can add users to my personal blacklist via CLI. It would be nice to see this kind of stuff as standard, basic button functions in activitypub and fediverse since not everyone wants to run an instance and use CLI scripts to moderate.

        NOSTR has problems with its cryptography implementation that allow forging. One attack allows re-directing a Bitcoin transaction. Too many cooks spoil the stew with the large pool of client and server applications.
