how do we report problematic instances?

Users should absolutely have mute/block/privacy controls. These should be used to build the community they want and see what they want to see.

Users should not be left to "fend for themselves" against abuse/hate/racism having a platform.

A person of color should feel safe.
Women should feel safe.
LGBTQIA+ should feel safe.
BIPOC should feel safe.

They should be able to login, find their community and participate without needing to deal with DM's of lynchings, being publichly shamed with racial slurs. Power belongs to real community and real engagement, not abusers.

How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse)

The population doesn’t care about the technology. If we make social media about activitypub more than it is about social media and connecting people - we’ll be shooting our own foot off no mater what meta or anyone does.

Instances and fediverse are great because of the mods, admins and people. Activitypub is the protocol and it’s an open web standard. We should expect web standards and join them but remember the product isn’t the protocol - it’s connecting people

i for one look forward to bridging to p92 and showing them what great communities can be like.

The fact that Lemmy/Kbin is weird and inaccessible to most normal people actually makes it perfect for Redditors.

There is some enormous potential opportunities on the horizon that we're well ahead of here. The real issue is, Reddit will have to join us on the fediverse or they will be history.

What we have to do as instances/admins/fedizens (whatever you want to call yourselves) is build the future we want. It will be quirky - but at some point that quirkyness is exactly what people want in the end.

User accounts if a Lemmy Server goes Away.

I expect we'll see import/export like other fediverse tools have in short time. BUT.. unlike reddit/twitter/fb - if your server dies, you hop on another and you're still part of the "fediverse"

I'd also like to see "channel/magazine" relays here like we have on mastodon so servers can relay and fill the gaps in core channels nicely.
