I gotta be honest, that sounds like crap. It's a recipe for a race to the bottom
And, if it isn't maintained, it might as well not exist. Trying to fuck around with it would just take the lemmy team's time away from their progress as they move forward with their intended plans.
Fair point about it being a potential waste of resources as Aether is unmaintained.
What specifically sound like crap to you? Attempting to shoehorn Aether into Lemmy somehow? Just asking for clarity :)
Aether itself. Moderation by the masses is just going to end up a cesspool
It's democratized representational moderation.
Only members of a community that have been there for a while can become moderators. Moderator elections are held from time to time, and only long standing members of each community may vote on their moderators. A moderator is not removed unless they are inactive for a long period, or the community disagrees with their decisions enough to impeach them.
Any user on Aether is free to blacklist any other user, preventing that users content from ever touching their computer. (This feature is present on Lemmy and the rest of the fediverse also)
