Is the fediverse assessible to the boomers/computer illiterate? What's the most boomer friendly service? Have you onboarded any boomers in your life?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.perthchat.org/post/219612 > Boomer in like Facebook/tiktok is their final technology frontier. > > My friends/circle (ages 19 - 72): 95% don't know how to set up Adblock on desktop. 20% only use computers once a week. 5% use shortcuts like copy and paste. 30% of them buy iphones bc they find android too hard too bother with (I agree with this). 1% struggle with basic concepts like knowing if they are posting a status or DMing someone. Tho 10% trade stocks by themselves, so with sufficient motivation they could learn. > > I have onboard 1 person irl and I had to walk them through it. > > I rate the fediverse as 0/10 for assessibility to boomers but have not tried the whole fediverse

In looking for instances or subs with novel moderation policies
Sortition, back in some of the old greek citystates, they would simply draw lots for political offices. Essentially meaning random people get to be mod. This is meant as a way to limit corruption. By divine graphology. Meaning that candidate mod write something with pen on paper, and a council of divinely inspired priests judge the aptitude, character, skill, and more based on the writing (not the text, the strokes themselves). This would probably lead to a society with incredibly pretty (and probably illegible) handwriting. Anigarchy. The original founder of the instance rules absolutely, this remains possible long after their death, through shamans who are able to communicate with the souls of the dead. Reincarnation, like the dalai lama, the same person is continually reincarnated in new bodies to continue their rule. The method of the least willing. There is an addage about the best leaders being the ones who don't want the job. Why not turn that into the basis of your mod hunting? Actual anarchy hive mind, no mods content removed once it gets reported enough

Consider adding to the sidebar that people could specify the copyright status of their submission?
I see some works here i'd like to either use or reblog but because messaging individuals is hard, i don't end up using it and instead look at like opengameart.org since it's immediate clear the copyright status (ex cc0)
