I did get permission to share this private message. For the record, I loath having public Lemmy topics being discussed in private messages. I created this community to get all this OUT in the OPEN.

I already made my decision on NOT changing privacy policy. But now I see that the very idea of having more than one “Subscribed” list for an end-user is raising threats of defederation!

    I have been having discussions with other lemmy users around the topic of decentralization and federation. One thing I found interesting was that some people want to know the instance for the community for a link before clicking on it because different communities have (apparently drastically) different rules. This understanding might pose some issues with a multipass feature but could probably be mitigated a few ways, like showing the instance name if not already shown and maybe letting this group of moderators for the multipass be able to develop (common) rules for the multipass.

    But then again, thats making decentralization centralized. But on the other hand, these are features people want. The group moderation idea is a good one. Is this an open source project? I would love to take a peek at the source if so and learn a bit more about how lemmy works. If it’s not open source no worries.
