#defed
Why would you go back when folks cross pollinate AND most money is spent if defed or AI ?

The people who want the content of diverse discourse aren’t truly supporting it or the people who make it

The way I hit follow on you so fast because YES !!!! I’ve been trying across three chapters and two predictions to say something like this especially around how social media served as a public archive and how while defed has good points it’s missing that key aspect

*waves at you happily*
The big archival question

My other concern is that venture capitalism already has a helluva track record (trying to) enclose and paywall cultural heritage.

Institutional archives are already elitist by nature. Techno-archives will be a privacy and authenticity nightmare.
Considering the way these companies move who is maintaining independent verification of these documents ?

I applied four separate times to focus on moderation and federation kit focused in defed. I’ve volunteered to talk . People don’t think my opinion matters ? Cool

THAT IS THEIR RIGHT it’s not the thing they want. They get to make those choices

Because let me tell you the next big fall out ?

Is gonna be defed moderation

One of the joys of defed and the complete failure of the tech space right now is everyone can just scream

“But communities will self moderate” to hide the fact the practice runs are filled with racism ableism and anchronism

Nobody’s gonna check them, even the “good” defed lenses depend on a LOT of free labor and technocratic lack of context

And their setting a precedent for a gotcha

It’s like the general excitement about defed … but has no discussion or care for technological gaps both socially, generationally or resource wise … especially at critical junctions

i've silenced the most annoying HOA instances and i think i have defederated one or two absolutely unbearable ones, plus they too share their block lists.

but our defed policy is more aggressive than, say, kolektiva's.

Anyway I’m really interested in the channel.org shit because if all they are is a bunch of bots that immediately boost any post containing certain hashtags I’m just gonna defed

[vent, meta]

god forbid I enact a defed with a **14 day** grace period because I think there’s valid concerns that haven’t been addressed, that it’s inevitable another incident happens. I don’t want my fucking instance being used to get more victims. I’m not going to sit there moderating for […]

yall we seriously need a "defed except for the good ones" button, istg every instance is a crowd of it's stereotypes and then a cooler person who's fundamentally their own thing

The Mast folk will say this place doesn't do moderation right but the fed situation of Mast makes it hard to hold any bad actor accountable other than to just "defed" the instance. There is/was a bot taking furry Twitter accounts and cloning them exactly via an API bot to Mast. Nothing could be done

L'annonce de Xenoblade X DefEd sur Switch chez @gematsu.com, sur Twitter (avec Blue) et sur Bluesky...

Mais sinon ya personne ici 😬

there's some instances with patreons but it's mostly volunteer. I think the biggest thing is it'd decentralized so if an instance is spewing nazi propaganda or terf shit you defederate from them and defed from people that maintain relationships with them

Gwitho ar gyfrol newydd am ffermwyr defed Y Mynydd Du / Working on a new book about sheep farmers on Y Mynydd Du

the list of techbro-side people who author threads that don't make me want to block everyone involved is shockingly short. genuinely why shouldn't i just defed mastosoc at this point.

Because the real question is why is everyone talking to a lot of these pundits instead of looking for their audiences feelings

And why Republicans and technocrats are working so hard to silence/ silo those audiences

And why the “good guys “ ( via Defed ) ain’t even asking that question
September 28, 2025 at 6:09 PM
No, hold on right before I defed the instance I gotta do a shitpost

This is part of the Federation concept behind the Mastodon project and, to a large extent, ActivityPub in general. These are connected servers, but they are each run like mini independent kingdoms that hold their users hostage. Users cannot exit, and each server can defed for any reason. Drama.
