This project https://github.com/everything-gripe seems an interesting way to re-use the infinity Reddit app

Could anyone do the compatibility layer between the Kbin API and the everything API? https://github.com/orgs/everything-gripe/discussions/1

So this is a half formed idea that might be horrible, I thought I'd throw it out there for critique.

• We have a problem on Kbin.social and probably other instances of under staffed moderation & admin teams.
• Some large magazines have a single moderator
• This will soon lead to *bad-shit appearing here
• We will likely get de-federated at some point

A random selection of peers is good enough for juries. So how about we apply it here?

Every ~100th new user is made a site wide Admin (cannot delete only unpublish content, it remains visible in the backend to other mods)

Every ~100th new Magazine subscriber is similarly made a mod of that space.

A few would go powertripping, many would be inactive, but I think it might build the mod/admin team in a reasonable way.

We have to build the processes for powertripping/inactive admins anyway, so in a sense it's not extra work.

You'd build in some randomness, so the system was harder to game, it wouldn't literally be the 100th person. It might be the 80th, or 110th, but averaging out at ~100

It's still tiny numbers in the scheme of things, but also quite a big number for a site that had ~30 users this time last month.

Federated infrastructure but user sovereignty: a “third way” between federated and P2P networks.

But we don't need to go the whole P2P hog to get robust user sovereignty. Cryptography lets us separate who stores and routes data from who truly owns it. We can combine the easier infrastructure design of a federated protocol with the full decentralized security of a peer-to-peer protocol.

I was trying to work out how much to donate to Kbin to keep the lights on. I read somewhere it costs something like $1/month per user?

Can we assume that 1/5 of users will be donating on a monthly basis?

So most people will be donating something like $5/month to cover the freeloaders and those that genuinely can't afford it?

Does that seem about right?

I was surprised to see that only 190 out of ~5k users have so far donated:

That maths doesn't work does it?

I hope there's a recurring payment option soon like Open Collective otherwise I'll probably forget to donate next month.

Hopefully this space will be interesting to some.
