A trust-based moderation system akin to Discourse. I’d also want the ability to block tags and a Reddit-style tree-like comment system for better discussions. A nuanced voting system similar to Slashdot's could help finding quality discussions by differentiating between types of content and allowing sorting by these different types.

Myspace.

A local pub.
But cheap enough that people can hang out there for an hour or two most days without going broke.
Theres something to be said for the real world.

this was something I loved about slashdot moderation. When voting, people had to specify the reason for the vote. +1 funny, +1 insightful, +1 informative, -1 troll, -1 misleading, etc.
That way you can, for example, set in your user preferences to ignore positive votes for comedy, and put extra value on informative votes.
Then, to keep people from spamming up/down votes and to encourage them to think about their choices, they only gave out a limited number of moderation points to readers. So you’d have to choose which comments to spend your 5 points on.
Then finally, they had ‘meta moderation’ where you’d be shown a comment, and asked “would a vote of insightful be appropriate for this comment” to catch people who down-voted out of disagreement or personal vandetta. Any users who regularly mis-voted would stop receiving the ability to vote.
I don’t think this is directly applicable to a federated system, but I do think it’s one of the best-thought-out voting systems ever created for a discussion board.
edit: a couple other points i liked about it:
Comments were capped at (iirc) +5 and -1. Further votes wouldn’t change the comment’s score.

Lemmy, but with even more mod transparency, and better database use.

You just described most bars in Spain.

Gaia Online allows you to lock your own threads and I think I've never ever seen that done before anywhere. It is a great self-moderation tool that I think all social media platforms should have.
I love the idea of self-moderation. Like locking certain people out from threads you've made but allow more people to post, locking it when it gets too out of hand, banning users from ever seeing your thread both logged in and logged out.
I like transparency, I like being able to see who downvoted and upvoted than just some number ticking up.
I Just think that, taking some tools from Gaia, some tools from Reddit and applying them to the Fediverse, would make the ultimate and uncontested social media platform.

It'd look like the Fediverse with a billion dollars additional R&D budget.

A perfected version of lemmy. With the option to follow individual user and get notified to every new post or comment they make, additionally the selection of this notification system with manual control. And, a better client hosting app for Lemmy itself. Every Lemmy hosting app I checked so far have at least one buggy optimization disadvantage/problem.

Lemmy with better block features and being able to stop receiving notifications from a comment or post you made

It would kick me out for the next 4 hours after viewing n amounts of posts. No way to change that. You set it once and never again. No upvotes, likes or hearts either. And fucking encrypted messaging.

There must be some reason why private messaging on this platform is unencrypted. Maybe it's required by law in some countries, or it's too difficult to implement.

One change I would make is to hide up- and downvotes for all users but keep the voting feature for post sorting. Ideally there would also be a powerful, probably AI powered content filter that you could tell what you don't want to see instead of just bluntly blocking it based on community/user/keyword.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Like if the original okCupid team had diversified into general online social interactions instead of selling to the dating monopoly. The platform tries to learn about you, not so that it can match you with advertizers, but so that it can try to give you meaningful social interactions with human beings.

Like lemmy but we should focus on quality, not quantity. (which we already partly do)

Lemmy is not really focused on DMs anyways. DMs are mostly used to exchange matrix chat accounts or other means of communication. So, encryption wouldn't make that much difference, really.
