Gregory's ServerI kind of think of Fedi the same way as email: built by people with the best intentions who never thought spam and filtering would be a necessity, and it worked real well until it hit a critical threshold. Email never solved this issue as a protocol - it's up to each domain to filter content individually. Hopefully folks begin to investigate the possibility of automated spam/hate message filtering on their instances...
@ryan like it's not exactly hard. There are bunch of AI models to test for negative sentiment.
Nothing also stops Mastodon from doing what Twitter was doing, where you could report tweets just because you didn't like them, which acted as a dislike and affected user score, downgrading their visibility.
But then, there will surely be dorks here who will modify their instances to not track their scores or accept such reports. Wonders of federation.
