interdimensionalmeme, 1 year ago Any opt-in approach will be irrelevant. Most user never change the defaults. Example are “multireddit” feature. Statistically speaking, nobody used them and they never mattered. Imagine a combination of /r/books /r/books2 and /r/books3 Owner of /r/books goes mad with power (as tgey all do) abd sells out the community. So you post in /r/books2 because you use the multireddit, and if everyone else did, the defective owner would be transparently bypassed. But what actually happens ? To 99% if users in /r/books, you have simply ceased to exist. New users still to biggest /r/books and never know of the alternatives. Multireddits are socially irrelevant. The default MUST whole fediverse aggloneration which the users filters out what they don’t like out of By manual removal of individual communities By including or subscribing to circulating blacklists of communities (think spamfilter lists) And by the owner of their instance defederating from other servers.
