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.

    @BigBlackCockroach Have you heard of https://nostr.com/ ?
    Should be of interest to you.
    It’s censorship resistant by design and you can get 100% censorship resistance by running your own relay (server which transfers the data between the clients).
    It’s a protocol, so all kinds of different applications can be implemented with it. Something like mastodon already exists.
