A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I've only recently setup my own lemmy instance, to test new stuff, fix a few things, whatever. Something like this would prevent me from federating with the content I want to see, and I'd have to go try and be buddies with a trusted instance admin to get endorsed?
I think this may be something we want to discuss more as a community, and see what better solutions might be out there
Totally unlimited federation doesn't work, just look at what happened with email. You have to jump through a lot of hoops to set up a server because of spam protection
And I get that, but I feel like there might be better options than an old boys club that requires endorsement to get in. For instance, maybe levels of trust? a newly federated instance gets rate limited or something, so that it can't suddenly start spamming 1000s of posts or whatever
Oh yeah, there's probably middle ground there somewhere, although I'm not entirely sure some sort of "web of trust" model is avoidable
