  • In Fediverse moderation tools, are there consensus forming mechanisms to ensure that even if 20% of the volunteer moderators are malicious, none of their wrongful moderation suggestions leak through to the stream of final moderation actions? If not, I'd be reluctant to add moderators.

  • Why do you think those should be separate? That just destroys the network effect. Original OkCupid used to have everything. Amazon has everything. Facebook has all sorts of shit. They don't split into niches.

  • benefit humanity as a whole

    The Borg from Star Trek fills that requirement. My headcanon is that the people from its home planet made an AGI with the given goal of “benefiting humanity as a whole”, and it maximised that goal by building the Borg - making humanity as a whole by connecting them to a hive mind and forcibly assimilating all other species to benefit humanity as a whole.

  • How about banning flickering lamps? I'd ban screeching power adapters too.

  • Isn't that how inheritance works? Everything including the long copyright get inherited immediately.

  • Once again, a careless inventor put out something not designed to counteract obvious misuses. Shoud have designed a complete system with sensibly aligned incentives.

  • Quora used to have a fantastic crowd-edited question topic ontology/taxonomy for precise feed shaping with thousands of disambiguated topics interlinked in a graph/tree structure, but they enshittified the system away 2023, and now it's all LLM misunderstandings of what the question topics should be. The bot thinks a question is about apples when the question is a mathematics word puzzle; "How many apples...". The excuse for AI tagging was "tags can be abused" when in reality the crowd corrected the abuses quickly and reported the offenders. With the new AI tagger, my feed turned from a valuable place for learning into viral trash from Quora-celebrities, mostly about current news.

    They never made the obviously needed features of:

    • being able to topic tag answers, not just questions (for when the question is general and the answer is specific, like "What do you think everyone needs to know in 2026?").
    • the ability to follow a topic from a user, because most people write about many topics, so a follow-a-user brings uninteresting topics to my feed, but not all people write well about that topic I want to follow, so I'd need to follow that topic from good writers only.
