Because in order to block content, the user first has to see it. If I were an instance admin, I wouldn't force my users to see any amount of N words and homophobic slurs, not even the once it takes to block it.

Hence tge need for a federated blocklist.

With a blocklist, the user is putting their trust in an unnamed group of people with essentially no accountability. With defederation, the user puts their trust in admins they can talk to, with a public modlog to explain every decision. You're proposing to take the same amount of control away from users, but with less accountability.

They are both essentially the same thing except u decided to call one group of unnamed people Admins and suddenly they have responsibility and authority.

The difference, and the best part of the fediverse imho, is that if you're not happy with someone elses rules you can become your own admin and set your own rules. The more we centralize power the further we go against that idea.

You can have the federated blocklist people named, decisions for adding to list public and explained. That way it would be the same as with admins

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

All that work just to make it the same as what we already have

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I don't think you got the idea of a federated blocklist the other person was talking about
