So, @kissane and I have formally kicked off our Fediverse research project! Briefly, we are doing interviews with admin/mod teams about governance models and practices that are in place on servers with ~150-2500 active users. More info is available here on the project blog:
https://write.as/fediversalist-papers/kicking-off-our-fediverse-research
The blog is hosted at write.as which means you can follow it at @fediversalist-papers, or via RSS, or via email (there's a form on the bottom of the main blog page).
@darius @kissane I'm looking forward to what comes out of it. Quick question: it seems like the scope of this phase seems to be around server governance in particular, but are there any plans for looking at fediverse safety/security from an architecture perspective? For example, how posting a URL will often DDoS the server.
