I am an anarchist, so the idea of the community doing all the work, creating content, and then mods basically ruling over them as a reward, just doesn’t sit right with me.
We the users should collectively be in control of all our social media, economically and with regards of controling what goes on, on there.
All social media get’s its value from the users i.e. the network effect. However the users are subjected to a hierachical place where individuals in power act as tyrants.
We create the value we should be in charge.
Fellow Lemmings how can we create social media were the users are king/queen?
post Scriptum: just having a voting mechanism, might be gamed by unsavory charcters or groups to game such a system, unless voting requires your clear name id, which comes with other issues of course.
without the ability to filter or truly block anyone or anything, it’d be completely unusable anarchy. would be nice if you could actually like filter keywords, users, and instances, you know, like a real grown up adult social media website, like mastodon. one of the main things lemmy/kbin lacks is the ability to filter and truly block. until they code this in place, this is beta beta
