@danielk Like I was saying before, I'm getting lots of good vibes from the good old early golden days of Web 2.0, around 2004-ish. What's perhaps different this time around is federation, something that back then wasn't even much of a topic, never mind a reality, because of the interests of what's today known as #SocialMedia.
How I wish I'd've transitioned into the #Fediverse back in 2016 when I first launched my Mastodon account. 9 years later, it'd've been a completely different experience đł
Imagine that, hypothetically, there was an idea to launch an instance / server dedicated to people from the African continent (+ diaspora) to join the Fediverse...
Let's suppose it would use the ".africa" TLD.
How would you name it, so that people use it, understand what it is, memorize it, etc.
Please, do boost for max visibility. Thx.

To be clear: I understand that the racism on Fedi is a larger political problemâit stems from interpenetrating dimensions of colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, and all other forms of exploitation. There isnât, there cannot be, a technical-only solution to the problem.
My suggestion in this thread will only cut off one particular mode of harassment. But I feel this step is worth taking, as one among many.

I also donât see any advantage of the present model where each reply post can have a different visibility. If someone wants a different privacy level for their response to some post, they can always write a new post with the desired privacy level, include the link to the post they want to respond to, and tag the relevant users.

Of course, an abuser can start a new âfollowers onlyâ or âmentioned users onlyâ post tagging the victim. But they can do it even today, thatâs another aspect of the problem, and it will need other solutions.

To put this differently, only a new post (the original post of a thread) should have the option to select privacy levels. Every single reply in a thread or a sub-thread should simply inherit the privacy level of the original post.
This will cut off the abusersâs ability to create pile ups in reply threads that are invisible to everyone bar the victim and the abusers themselves.

One technical solution to alleviate this problem would be to force replies to inherit the privacy level of the parent post. If the parent post is âpublicâ or âquiet publicâ, then the reply also has to be âpublicâ or âquiet publicâ.

When the victim mentions publicly that they are facing harassment, other Fedi users respond saying that they donât see any abusive replies, and blame the victim for being too sensitive, or for not correctly using the moderation tools.
