I really think Threads’ recently introduced feature that lets you filter or approve replies to your posts is far past due on social media.
If I make a post on a specific subject, I should be able to block/unallow posts that aren’t relevant or might derail the topic, without relying on moderators. It’s my post, I should be able to curate it.

What if…
You could rate the moderation of a community. As in, give it a number of stars from 1 to 5, and then the average number of stars would be shown in the sidebar and in the communities list. So if you get unfairly moderated, instead of having a big fight in PTB, just give them 1 star and move on.

This sounds amazing but also prepare for absolute chaos
Also people would brigade it

I don’t think that’s a fair thing to add on a Reddit-like site. You’re posting to a community stewarded by other people. It means people could post highly controversial and objectionable opinions and then just lock the thread, preventing others from engaging with it. It sort of has the same consequences as the block function on Reddit has now where you can just block the other account replying to you to force the last word.

I want to see nomadic identity, but in the here and now, I love Friendicas timeline. It treats groups and microblog content exactly the same way, similar to the way Facebook and lemmy does it. Your timeline is made up of a series of posts, and you can order those posts however you want. All of the replies to those posts become visible when you click on a post to open it, but they otherwise don’t clutter up your timeline with hundreds of contextless replies. But the powerful thing is, it displays lemmy/kbin/piefed groups, friendica groups, gup.pe style groups and regular microblog content all in the same style, and all on the same timeline (but filterable)
I wish more platforms did that!

I can see why it might be appealing in a microblogging context. There it’s all about the individual and their little kingdom and having ‘followers’. I think what would happen in practice is Threads’ moderators step back and do less moderating and that will let abuse run unchecked more often. But that’s their problem, whatever.
On Lemmy/PieFed they’re not only your posts. You’re the person who started the discussion (in the community which we all built together) and the people who posted in the discussion are all co-creators of it. In this context one of the worst people to moderate a thread is the person who started it. They have the least objectivity and are the most likely to try to distort the direction the discussion goes in.

Maybe you can only rate it after being a member of the community for some amount of time, and/or posted in it, etc.

It means people could post highly controversial and objectionable opinions and then just pre-emptively lock the thread, preventing others from engaging with it.
I guess I think they should be able to do that. If it’s detrimental to the community, then that is the mod’s job. Also ideally, some type of upvote/downvote system would bury said post after enough people downvoted it.

I think this shifts additional burden onto community moderators who don’t want that kind of behaviour in their community.

This possibly would happen, of course.

That would mitigate it. It sounds fun, but I don’t necessarily think it would negate drama lol

I like the idea but I have a few questions.
-
Which instance determines the rating for lack of a better way to put it.
-
Would it have any actual effects.
-
What about an instance wide rating as well since admins can be just as prone to being PTB in some cases.
I have more ideas and thoughts but I’ll leave it there its a really fucking good idea honestly, the more I think about it the more I like it.

100% this.
It’s also the reasons why I would love for the OP to not be able to delete their original post and delete the entire thread with it. It should be ok for them to delete the content in their post if they really want to, but said post should remain accessible with a ‘content deleted by OP’ mention or something like that… while all comments remain untouched.
As someone that barely posts but do like to comment it’s one of the things that is certainly preventing to comment more on certain discussions, as it already happened to often to see everything vanish because the OP was not happy with the way the discussion turned.
They should not own the discussion even when they initiate it. That’s what an open discussion should bel about: inviting participation, not censoring it.

Another feature i admire with frindica and its family (hubzilla is mine) is how they implemented groups, if i make a post on a group it doesnt get delivered to every one of my connection, it only goes to the community and people in it. On the other hand i can make a post on lemmy using my hubzilla account but it will show up in every one of my followers timeline since it is by default a public post.
