Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Could federated social media networks enhance cooperative behavior between everyone, relative to both insular and massively popular services?English
2·11 months agoIt’s not a headline; I’m posing the question, written in this post title. (Perhaps I should have included the video link in the body rather than url field.)

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Working on MèngZǐ, the Federated Search Engine AlternativeEnglish
1·2 years agoReally interesting proposal! To a degree the structure of Lemmy/Mbin/etc may be quite close to the categorising and moderating aspect, and might be a good place to start collecting URLs to crawl.
Each community could be considered analogous to a (rather chaotic) webring. When an instance doesn’t meet your moderation expectation, defederate; if a MengZi user wants to see search results from different defederated segments, use a MengZi instance that federates with both, or just have both plugged into a searx instance.
The categorising side of MengZi could be (from an activitypub perspective) like a very cut down version of lemmy –each webring/category being a community, each website being a post, comments disabled or limited/filtered to hashtags.
A webring could be a specific sort of category/community, where a submitted website’s url’s page must contain specific metadata definining its membership in that ring or it is automoderated and removed. Such a category could automoderate the url and title to be the default page defined by its membership metadata. Existing webring html element standards could suffice.
A website could be crossposted to other categories, including to other instances, even to/from lemmy or other compatible activitypub sites. If a (cross)posted post is not a url returning the correct mime type for a category then it can be automoderated and deleted; same for other arbitrary criteria a category could define.
A website/post on MengZi could be accompanied by relevant crawling metadata, even full search database data available via the api for sharing to other MengZi instances to save duplication of crawling effort while distributing the database.
