Examples of ideas we most likely won't do:
Here's decentraland's agora: https://agora.decentraland.org/ And of course, there's a blockchain for that! https://www.agora.vote/technology
But more seriously:
Voting is a tough problem to solve. How do you avoid spam/bots unless the votes are tied to users in some way? Also, how to handle exactly-one-vote-per-user-per-poll? How do you handle the equivalent of ostracising bad actors from the process (maybe not as extreme as the OG-way of banishment for 10 years, though: https://www.greece-is.com/understanding-the-agora)?
Maybe some system that involves (some service or the mods?) privately pushing out (via DM?) a one-time-use code (UUID?) for casting a vote in a poll once it's got enough weight to be put to a vote? OTP SurveyMonkey? Is there some way to prevent back-tracing of the vote-codes/tokens to individuals? If someone becomes a problem, then I guess they just stop getting vote-codes pushed to them. Slippery slope, etc. etc., though.
Yeah, full agree. So far I've only had to block a few communities to get the loli to stop popping up on all, but a rogue instance could really start to spam people with pretty horrible stuff. That's what defederation is for, it seems, but there needs to be some rules in place for when the instance ban-hammer gets called upon.
It would be very nice if clients like Jerboa allowed users to choose to ban/filter specific instances for themselves without affecting everyone else, though.
Here’s a link to the SVG of the Satisfied Seal so you can tweak as needed. I’ll also post the link in the comment thread. Glad people seem to like it!
For the icon: How about a Satisfied Seal? Because when sh.itjust.works, you know that feel!
Either way, one or the otter.
