devil’s advocate: this will save the vast majority of user (which are completely tech illiterate) from loosing their most important data
lets be real, none of them will use a private or foss backup solution any time soon.
I’d rather not they loose their important family photos for that oh so horrible crime of offending my privacy nerd sensibilities
pepsi and coca cola was even worse. the great capitalist innovation of literally just addictive poison

That’s the point of the repuation system.
It’s a very hard problem, I’ll give you that.
What you need is, each instance and community collects reputation in the federation. then users posting on those instances can collect reputation on those. basically by not being banned or massively downvoted. Your reputation is weighted by the reputation of each you collected it from instance.
Each users identity is tied to some key that collects reputation, that you generate new identities from from for each instance/community/post. Like how some credit card services give you a new credit card number for each new website.
Admins don’t know who you are, but they can see and verify your reputation.
Then instance/community admins can decide if they want a different weighting. For example, to completely disregard the reputation by some instance or make one you like 10x more important.
You could get an ordered list of posts or pseudonymous users based on the reputation. Untrustworthy users will glow like a christmas tree.
That would be one way to do it. It’s hard to make it water tight, but any improvements would be better than the current fediworse.
It doesn’t have to be.
You could keep the general structure and functioning while improving privacy.
For example, by obfuscating post history, anonymous posting or assigning a user pseudonym per instance/community, auto-deleting old posts/comments. All optional features of course. Let instances/communites decide which of these features they want.
Keep the structure of Lemmy with it’s Reddit-like-ness and instances, but give users, instances and communities more control over data privacy.
Sure it’s harder to implement, you need some minimal-knowledge reputation system, but there is nothing fundamental preventing that from being possible.
The nice thing about federation is that one instance/community can stay the same data-leaking privacy mess, if they so prefer. While others could operate analogous to 4-chan (or anything in between).
from what I’ve seen, the essence of this show is 1) be edgy 2) be maximally whacky
Lemmy is absolute garbage on privacy. I would love a private Lemmy with fine grained privacy controls.
I wonder if there’s a single index out there that isn’t warped for propaganda reasons. Even the “objective” metrics like GDP are completely warped.

Or maybe we are just one tiny well in an a virtually infinite multiwell assay, each containing a planet with slightly different experimental conditions and they are trying to synthesize a conscious lifeform that doesn’t destroy itself eventually. Maybe they are restarting humanity over and over again to see if we’ll finally figure it out. We are experiment ᜁଡ଼👋ޑଋ🏰ᆅᐏᅝᐊெᇜᒈ😝Nj̸๐♄🎉כჿ😊ᗀඦĘ๓🏭ۼ out of ℵ1 experiments.
