@iftas I think what I would like the most is both the projected benifits AND problems of allowlisting. Then to compare them to the cost-benifit we have in denylisting.

Then, look at which problems we can best address.

@iftas Also interested in the cost-benefit of one or combination of those tools, once defined.

@iftas I cant deny that allowlisting would, or could, solve many problems. But I dont want to go without questioning what problems come with allowlisting. On small and large scale.

I'm not a software engineer, so I dont want to pie in the sky to a pipe dream here. But I would wonder what all those tools you mention would look like in combination, if possible. But, of course, it depends how those tools are defined going into hypothetical development.

@iftas Thank you for this report. It will help in seeing the wider picture of the Fedi and oprn social web.

I still remain resistant to allow-list based federation. I worry that doesnt reduce the work load. And makes the open web less open. If open at all, truely.

But, reading this, i do recognize there is a problem that deny-list is poor at solving.

If there is a answer that is degrees before allowlist only, I could be open to it.
