Is decentralised federated social media over engineered?

Can't get this brain fart out of my head.

What would the simplest, FOSS, alternative look like and would it be worth it?

Quick thoughts:

* FOSS platforms intended to be big single servers, but dedicated to ...
* Shared/Single Sign On
* Easy cross posting
* Enabling and building universal Multi-platform clients.
* Unlike email, supporting small servers

No duplication/federation/protocol required, just software.

But who will moderate the content? Who is to say to what is legal and where? In USA and in EU different pieces of information can be shown. CSAM needs to be removed. Main lemmy devs removed only active mod on !anime[email protected] due differences in censorship.

The same people that do now?

Blockchain is immutable so you can't remove the content.

The same people can't moderate the content if content is centralised, there would need be an overlord that sets the rules.

Block chain was more on analogy than implementation. The key is that data isn't bound to an instance, and ideally most people never need to know about instances.
