Why do so many people think they MUST be heard? 😆 That’s one of the reasons I deleted Reddit. Too many weirdos thinking that I owed them a debate or something whenever I commented something they disagreed with. It happened on Twitter too but I got rid of that when musk announced that he was going through with the purchase.

I DISAGREE with you. YOU ARE NOW OBLIGATED TO ENTER AN EPIC DEBATE TO THE DEATH WITH ME BECAUSE REACHING A CONSENSUS IS IMPOSSIBLE IN THE INTERET!!!!!!!!

Ideally everyone would be able to set up rules as to who and what they see.

Something like (pseudo syntax initially like SQL, but went off track):

IF sum(this.poster.posts.karma) < -100 OR this.score < -10 OR sum(this.poster.opinions.rating WHERE this.poster.opinions.source IN me.friends) < 0 THEN false ELSE true END.

If you're proposing that front end devs literally provide an optional field for those with the time and motivation to curate their feed programmatically with some kind of query language, that's god damn brilliant, and would persuade me to use an otherwise feature–lacking but decently polished client over any other.

Yes.

I'd also want a standard, so that it wouldn't be monopolized into one bigger platform, like with GMail.

And probably servers should have some kind of zero-knowledge protection, so that such a client-side filter would be the only one applied to the information. Maybe with ability to subscribe to filters published by someone else, of course, or kill lists, but always preserving transparency and choice.

EDIT:

I think NOSTR is kinda similar, only it has public keys as identities, just so. In general its cryptographic mechanisms are used as intended, but in a very ancient way. It's too simplistic.

New Freenet (Locutus), I think, is going to be a platform where one can make such an application and a thousand others.

because so much of conservative thought is about having captive audiences; look at how much they try to whine when they get protested at a school campus.

The reason people post on these sites is to make themselves heard I guess. You just have to ignore or block your way into the level of interaction you're comfortable with.
