Defederation on the Fediverse
-
Mallory and I were lucky enough to participate in a study on New Paradigms in Trust and Safety: Navigating Defederation on Decentralized Social Media Platforms by the Carnegie Endowment. Published a few days ago, the paper goes into detail on the uses and misuses of server-to-server blocking, called defederation, on the Fediverse today. I’m looking forward to feedback from the moderator and user community on the Social Web.

@evanprodromou emmm... Why does link about research (https://carnegieendowment.org/research/2025/03/fediverse-social-media-internet-defederation/?lang=en) lead me to some nato releated stuff (https://carnegieendowment.org/europe/strategic-europe/2021/12/nato-must-adapt-to-an-era-of-hybrid-threats?lang=en)?

@evanprodromou Didn't see anything inaccurate or otherwise in need of improvement. It is a nice description of defederation and I suspect it would be particularly useful to someone not familiar with decentralized networks, or who had never thought about the policy/moderation issues involved in running them.

@bano The Carnegie Endowment is a big, old, establishment policy organization. They cover a lot of topics.
