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.
