I have been trying to think of ways of making the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming.

To people outside the Fediverse.

To people thinking of joining the Fediverse.

To people who recently joined the Fediverse.

And more.

...

What do YOU think could make the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming?

Here goes my lead balloon: a reputation based ranking system. Negative interactions, harassment, being blocked all reduce ranking while positive interactions boot score. Then people can set a threshold on who they want to interact with based on score. Maybe 0 to 100 with everyone starting at 75.

how do you stop somebody from creating bots to fuck with that?

the fedi kinda relies on having a small network of trust and not having to care about the trustworthiness of those outside of that. jerks can be on the network and it doesn't affect me as long as I don't follow them or anybody that boosts their jerky posts and there's a system to keep them from being able to harass me.

we lock down the network unnecessarily when we extend trust too far. a block might be personal etc.

Yes, but they asked what could be done to make it more welcoming to people from other social networks. They don't come here because they want to manually curate a small network. They want a large open network filled with less vitriol. Some way of scoring reputation would help newcomers filter out the haters. That is all.
