pros:
- can federate with friends on icosa
- less social negotiation to whitelist new sites
- friendlier outlook on whitelisting
cons:
- pushes control of privacy to our users (making sure sites outside of our whitelisted sites don't see you means you must use private posts)
- boosts are more likely to become visible by sites we care most about keeping blacklisted
considerations:
- non-whitelisted sites will still not appear in notifications - but they can boost your boosted posts
@Freylet The worst case scenario is they will be able to see your posts if someone boosts them
That is actually a possible problem right now, but our policy helps limit that *A LOT* because it's very unlikely things will jump more than one instance away from us
In addition, if any of these folks start trying to bother you, you won't see *any* notifications from them without them doing the sneaky thing you're talking about.
@vahnj *nods lots* Thanks for clarrifying. <3
