ActivityPub and ATProto both promise to rebuild social life online, but they answer the question of where community actually forms in fundamentally different ways. Protocol design is institutional design, and right now those institutions are being built.

    (PieFed also has a feature called ‘Topics’, which aggregates posts from multiple communities into a single feed around a single theme, making jurisdiction a truly joyful mess: a single post can be made by someone on server A, posted into a community hosted on server B, and then aggregated into a Topic hosted on server C. What happens when rules between servers A, B and C conflict is anyone’s guess.)

    Well, i think they don’t understand what is a topic (multicommunity) or how we handle the moderation part. 🤔

    We moderate per community and its own instance first. So we don’t moderate post outside our instance unless we receive recuring repport. And if a post in a community that appear topic contrevene instance’s rule, we delete it or remove community.

    It may be complicated the first time you moderate but it’s easy once you understand.
