petermolnar Be careful slurping content up from webmentions, and consider removing any graphical content. Thankfully the indieweb internet is small, but reading something like this - there's nothing explicit in the article at all, and yet it should have a 18+ label on it :( - https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/dec/18/kenya-facebook-moderators-sue-after-diagnoses-of-severe-ptsd is disheartening.

Kupietz Yeah, not the first time I've read that their moderators pay a cost. And your comment about webmentions raises something I've been thinking about. Right now indieweb has the advantages the early internet had: small, mostly used by well-meaninged enthusiasts. A lot of what's built depends on some level of trust to keep running without disruption. Knowing how knowledgeable so many people are around here I just assumed it's already been thought
#
Kupietz about and discussed but I've wondered if it's not to early to start envisioning and safeguarding against the kind of abuse that would come with greater exposure & popularity.
#
Kupietz Not that I have any idea how to approach that, myself. But the early internet, they just said, "We don't need to build all kinds of security into the fundamental structure of this, we're just a bunch of academics exchanging research papers". Fast-forward a few decades, and... Just something I think about.
