I think it’s neat that I can set a follow distance in iris.to so I only see people X degrees of “follow separation” from people I follow.
It’s like crowdsourcing spam prevention to the people I follow, who they follow, up to the follow distance. And if everyone blocks/mutes any bad actors / spam they help people who follow them too!
I understand that you want that and that’s fine.
However, I think that’s not fundamentally different from trusting a relay or Twitter.
In fact I probably trust, say Elon Musk, or jb55 better than a crowd of people I follow and the people they follow.
While we can discuss the merits of each approach, what I find really astounding is the suggestion that I not thinking the “social graph” approach is a good idea means I want to force people to see content — and somehow I “redefined” censorship resistance to mean forcing everyone to see some content.
People either haven’t thought about it and are just calling me names in a weird way — or have a bizarre definition of what “forcing” means.
Hmmm well I was just thinking it’s a neat idea, that you can benefit from other people blocking spam. I’m assuming that’s on top of the normal monitoring one would do. It’s not like that rule takes away your other choices in who you follow - you can still follow anyone you want.
