I love the Fediverse -- don't get me wrong--, but the fact that Lemmy was built atop a profile-oriented streaming stack, and that server moderators get to decide what servers your personal identity gets to interact with, doesn't sit right with me.

On a whim, a moderator could decide to defederate with one of your favorite servers for no reason at all.

I'm envisioning a server that authenticates you to other servers, accepts notifications to your personal inbox, and hosts its own forums.

One that can whitelist acceptable authentication servers, but doesn't restrict the notifications to your inbox. And doesn't restrict you from signing in elsewhere.

Every single time people want to have an unmoderated, unchecked space, it's because they — you — want to be able to air your most unsavoury opinions with impunity.

Exactly!

Then come the Nazis, then come the CSAM, the decapitation videos, the harassment and doxxing, and so on until some part of it passes your personal line in the sand for what's acceptable.

That would be up to the server owner (Moderation). There's nothing wrong with decapitation videos.

Then all of a sudden it's "Wah wah, mommy give me moderation". It's the same for all this freeze peach crap.

There's already moderation built into this.

So basically, you're confirming that you want a Nazi bar for you and your Nazi friends. That's an easy block from me.

There's nothing wrong with decapitation videos.

You and I have very different definitions of "nothing" and/or "wrong", buddy.

My grandmother was Ashkenazi. Bark up someone else's tree.

Also, who moderates the moderators?
