This is one thing I’ve found on their github so far, but it seems inactive.
There is a fork that element seem to have forked back:

interesting thanks, that’s cool to hear. Sad that there’s no effort to move to a standard protocol, but understandable.
why would we be able to? are the any plans to open them up?
That’s the point of the repuation system.
It’s a very hard problem, I’ll give you that.
What you need is, each instance and community collects reputation in the federation. then users posting on those instances can collect reputation on those. basically by not being banned or massively downvoted. Your reputation is weighted by the reputation of each you collected it from instance.
Each users identity is tied to some key that collects reputation, that you generate new identities from from for each instance/community/post. Like how some credit card services give you a new credit card number for each new website.
Admins don’t know who you are, but they can see and verify your reputation.
Then instance/community admins can decide if they want a different weighting. For example, to completely disregard the reputation by some instance or make one you like 10x more important.
You could get an ordered list of posts or pseudonymous users based on the reputation. Untrustworthy users will glow like a christmas tree.
That would be one way to do it. It’s hard to make it water tight, but any improvements would be better than the current fediworse.
It doesn’t have to be.
You could keep the general structure and functioning while improving privacy.
For example, by obfuscating post history, anonymous posting or assigning a user pseudonym per instance/community, auto-deleting old posts/comments. All optional features of course. Let instances/communites decide which of these features they want.
Keep the structure of Lemmy with it’s Reddit-like-ness and instances, but give users, instances and communities more control over data privacy.
Sure it’s harder to implement, you need some minimal-knowledge reputation system, but there is nothing fundamental preventing that from being possible.
The nice thing about federation is that one instance/community can stay the same data-leaking privacy mess, if they so prefer. While others could operate analogous to 4-chan (or anything in between).
Lemmy is absolute garbage on privacy. I would love a private Lemmy with fine grained privacy controls.
what do you use for illegal documents?
the sacred chants!
what is a prophesh yonnels
is this real? windows 10 literally came out yesterday
No thanks, I don’t like Piefken
I think we need community forks. anyone who is willing to host it can copy the entire instance and all of the content and become the new mod.
but it would make more sense if lemmy was based on some decentralized data layer (like IPFS). Then you only need to copy the references, that makes it way cheaper to fork.
that would solve that issue.
oof owie mein witz
Snapchat and Google Docs are the only two non-FOSS apps I can’t shake off.
It would be cool to have a Snapchat clone based on Briar.
Google docs because I don’t trust myself with my own data, I always end up delteting important documents cause I save them to random locations when cleaning house. Having it all in once place, with autosync, search and a nice powerful mobile interface is really convenient.
FreeBSD jails were way ahead of their time
devil’s advocate: this will save the vast majority of user (which are completely tech illiterate) from loosing their most important data
lets be real, none of them will use a private or foss backup solution any time soon.
I’d rather not they loose their important family photos for that oh so horrible crime of offending my privacy nerd sensibilities
