@teyplays Hi, tea! I also plan to do option B for the final project. I think the biggest difference from the surveillance capitalism of Facebook and Twitter is that Mastodon will not use user data for commercial purposes. However, in order to prevent users from publishing bad content to pollute common areas, we need to formulate some penalties or measures to control users' bad content. I haven't start the writing yet, so I still have no idea about specific guidelines.
@teyplays Yeah, I love the point you said about strike system! like forcibly block the user's account? For personal conflict, rude messages, maybe we can set some forbidden words?
@dorisweetie yeah, that seems like a good idea. And if they are a "repeat offender" I think there's a way to remove them from the instance altogether. What sort of words would be forbidden (aside from slurs obvi)? #mst210
@dorisweetie I think another thing we could do along the lines of the "forbidden word list" is content that is allowed but must be flagged using the content warning system. Cause photographs of non-illegal but potentially upsetting things should be censored so that people have the choice to engage with it or not. #mst210
@teyplays @dorisweetie love utilization of the content warning system Tea!!
@dorisweetie I totally agree! My thinking was maybe if we have a strike system of some sort? Like there are obvious things that should result in expulsion (i.e. illegal content, hate speech, etc.). But for things like interpersonal conflict, rude messages, spam, etc. maybe if we focussed on mediation & community resolution? It could be conducted using the private direct message system by just tagging the affected parties to mediate a discussion #mst210
