mastodon?
Mastodon could become that. But, it would need to add some new features.
Mastodon has "editable posts". Which is great.
But Mastodon doesn't give you a "choice of home-feed algorithm" yet. Currently, Mastodon only support reverse-chron as its home-feed algorithm. (I.e., what some inaccurately call "no algorithm".)
And, Mastodon doesn't yet given users the "ability to moderate replies" to their posts.

@reiver @ezeno789 we do have the ability to moderate replies built into ActivityPub, though.
Every object has a `replies` collection that is owned and managed by the creator of the object. If you don't want someone's reply to appear in the list of replies, you can remove it.
Mastodon does not surface this feature. It also doesn't show the `replies` collection remotely. That's too bad; it would cover most of what people want from replies management.

@reiver @ezeno789 The closest thing to what he is describing is @threads, but the ability to moderate replies comes at the cost of turning #Fediverse sharing off (at least for some posts).

@evan @Em0nM4stodon @reiver @ezeno789 That is too bad, because it would also allow the spontaneous threads we participate in to become something more like curated essays or conversations. But maybe that is too far from the central function of Mastodon as it exists today. Feature creep is not good.

@meltedcheese @Em0nM4stodon @reiver @ezeno789 or maybe when someone posts some racist shit in your replies, you can just remove it.

@evan @reiver @ezeno789 I don't think that would help. The reply would still be out there. Just not in that list. But the protocol doesn't depend on that list. For this to work you'd have to have a signal to all servers, that have received the reply post, to remove that message from the thread. That would probably be a another FEP. At least that is how I understand it.

@reiver @ezeno789 About algo choices, it's very interesting the work of @cryptadamist with Fedialgo: https://github.com/michelcrypt4d4mus/fedialgo_demo_app_foryoufeed
Worth looking into it IMO.

@reiver@mastodon.social add in NodeBB as well. Markdown first, and probably HTML too, although it will probably be sanitized to death on the way out.
-
@mariusor that's too bad. All I have left is mussels, French fries, large-scale bureaucracy, and peeing statues.
-
@reiver #WriteFreely uses Markdown by default too, but of course sends out HTML to the fediverse
-
@reiver Markdown or its subset is supported by almost every platform except Mastodon.
But PeerTube is the only software I know that puts markdown in content instead of HTML.
-
@evan I lived in Burssels for some many years, you won't tempt me with beer. 😈
-
@mariusor let me ask, what are your opinions on beer?
-
@evan yes, this is the one, I realized I already added it to my ticket list: https://todo.sr.ht/~mariusor/go-activitypub/337
-
@evan as of now I don't plan to come.
But I have no other obligations for February, maybe a last minute change of heart. :D
