So by default your instance respect mod removals.

You can change that as a server admin, so comments would remain visible to other users on your instance.

I think your instance is authoritative for content of comments, but the community hosting instance is authoritative for which comments are approved (other instances respect such removals by default)

Some dumb shit I see is setting SPF so Google is a trusted origin for email "to solve issues with sending to Gmail addresses" when what you're supposed to do is add your mail servers as trusted origin.

Directionality, how does it work?

Somebody should consider building a fork that works of bluesky's content addressing scheme, that way communities can effectively be re-homed in full even if the server dies

Lemmy stores your posts and replies on both your host server and on the server of the community.

One interesting behavior to note here that is different from reddit is that while comments on reddit belong to the profile of the person commenting and is then imported to view in the subreddit (this is why you can edit comments after being banned, and why there visible in your profile even if removed from a subreddit), on lemmy the target community is instead authoritative and your host server will by default respect a deletion by community mods on different servers by also removing that comment from your profile.

It depends on the type of location, small remote locations might not even get their own local network

They're not for long term storage, they're for transient storage like photography, in particular stuff like surveillance cameras

Clustering algorithms plus a focus on keeping your attention (watch time), not on quality

The topic and creator based clustering of multiple interests will pollute that anyway, because they don't care about precision and just care about keeping your attention

I have watch history turned off precisely to avoid getting personal recommendations because they have always sucked for me

What you're suggesting can't work

I sympathize with some of it, but you're going too far

Content addressable posts like what Bluesky's atproto does and cryptographic identity allows for portable posts and identities, and it even allows forkable communities as you can import and move entire conversations, and even mirror conversations that one team of mods may not like into another community (I made my first blog post about content addressable forums literally a whole decade ago)

And when posting to any /c/books the default visibility should be the same assuming a neutral reputation server and a neutral reputation user.

Literally impossible according to the CAP theorem (database terminology) in a decentralized network where not all servers federate with all (often because they just never have interacted and thus don't know of each other)

You have to push the communities to participate in multiple parallel communities, that's much more reliable. Together with a credible threat that the community can depose bad mod teams by forking, you have a much better chance of preventing bad mod behavior

You're basically suggesting bluesky style label services, except as the only solution

And no that can not be the only solution avaliable, ESPECIALLY not in communities around important topics like security, health, or for marginalized communities, etc. Your suggested default would be a trashfire by default until people have opted into some kind of moderation filters. And few will review the filters they subscribe to.

You also haven't solved the issue of how to get people to submit content to smaller communities

You have probably never seen a well moderated community, or at least not participated in one for long.

And she had military training and knew exactly what orders that guy had, so she knew it was going to happen, she was just betting that they wouldn't dare or that their group of insurrectionists would overpower them. But she failed on every count and paid with her life.
