    Ok, so you’ve chosen ‘we are both going to agree that perfect would be better than not perfect’.

    For what it’s worth, I’m not downvoting you.

    But I will be blunt: I don’t think you are capable of describing a coherent, implementable version of what you want.

    What is your proposal for what, precisely, should be changed?

    How are you, or … apparently you would be asking other people to do this … how is this change going to be compatible with lemmy as it currently exists, such that every instance could easily adopt it as an update… or… some instances could adopt it as a compatible sort of ‘add-on’ or ‘plugin’?

    Who is going to implement that change, or, how is that change going to come about?

    Seeing that you don’t appear to be willing to code this yourself… how are you going to convince someone else to do this?

    What I am saying is ‘OP actually does want an unreasonable thing, not from the standpoint of an end user of software who is.concerned about their safety in the abstract, but from the standpoint of being able to outline something that might actually work and also ever be designed.’

    What they are asking for is more or less an entirely fundamentally different system than lemmy. They are asking for an entirely new kind of software that works from a fundamentally different paradigm.

    Its more like uh, outlining that cars could be safer, and they think they are asking for airbags to be installed, but what they are actually asking for is someone to design a public transportation system.

    Thats about the scale and scope of how mechanisticly different what they are asking for is, from how things curfently work… even though, to them, its just a ‘way of how they get from point a to point b’, and thus seems trivial to them.
