@mekkaokereke oh fun. The only person blocking me there is the second most prolific blocker. 😂
@mekkaokereke @mike @rapscalorie @me this has been percolating in my head for a while , we need something better than a person who knows you luckily being a moderator ..
got to be a better idea than this but it seems like we could use a blocklist judiciary ??
what happens with shared blocklists when the data is contradictory and the moderators curating those lists disagree ?
mind you i think the concerns i have are not immediately important , so maybe not even worth thinking about ..
@fleeky @mike @rapscalorie @me
No, your questions are immediately important and spot on! 👍🏿
Creating a blocklist process is not as interesting or difficult or as important as defining the appeals process, or the mechanism whereby something can get off the blocklist.

Slashdot-style distributed content moderation / Karma might also be applied to blocklist arbitration:

Another approach would be to publish and manage each Communal Blocklist that aims to gain a wide following as a GitHub-like project, with discussion, proposals, and deliberative approval of small — or large — batches of blocklist changes. This would make it possible for a blocklist to maintain a public reputation for fairness, prompt action, and topic focus. Change volume would likely be a challenge…

Maybe a better approach would be a way for a Fediverse server to be able to nominate and mark itself as as “Shared Blocklist” source, then host discussion of moderation decisions, and share its current net Blocklist. It would need a TBD simple and efficient way for each Shared Blocklist server to periodically accept or reject proposed changes from Shared Blocklist servers *it* references…
