I'm... really wondering how a capitalist-run completely unmoderated social network intends to get advertisers, since that's usually their whole plan for solvency.

Even as theoretically open as Fedi is, we moderate the shit out of our own instances, and the rest is a wasteland nobody wants to be in. And we don't even care about the suits with money.

"Just use community blocklists" doesn't uh, work, unless advertisers are targeting via community blocklists, and oh my we could have fun with that if they're stupid enough to try.

@glassbottommeg The things I really appreciate about the fediverse, are the things that I really miss about my old phpbb forums. Protective communities built around shared interests where ban hammers were strong and advertisers not invited. Plus federation gives the added benefit of not being quite so insular.

Un-moderated is such a repellent prospect for me as a user it's hard for me to imagine it not being similarly repellent for investors.

@Sarahnade yep. The people who bounce off it mostly seem to not be used to how forums worked, or not thinking of it that way- but once you do, it clicks, and yay!
