   Imagine writing an open source twitter alternative

   One that is federated and built on open protocols

   Then having to deal with users who are upset you are working with an established walled garden social platform to support those very open protocols

   Girl, you can't have it both ways

   We can build better mod/safety tools

   But

   You can't moderate who gets to participate in an open protocol

   Maybe let's focus on the important aspect, better mod/safety tools

     @dansup People have a good reason to be upset, because those open protos have no proper tools for users to feel themselves safe in the case of collaboration with some big-tech corpos being well known for lying many times to users. Such things should be developed in the first place, before someone even began thinking on opening, collaboration, federation etc. Before, not after the fact. The order plays an very important role here. Doing the opposite will only produce horribly disastrous results.

     @dansup this is exactly where IFTAS is working. Moderator tools, training, documentation and community.

     @dansup I value the right of individuals to decide if they want to follow or block (instances). Having a choice is why we should be here. A walled garden decides everything for individuals, and leaves them no choices. Many of us wanted to get away from that.
