“What does a good user experience looks like for a feed that contains posts with less than 500 characters, interspersed with a blog post of 10.000 words? What does content moderation look like in a world where there are thousands, if not millions of websites connected to the fediverse, that are all effectively their own servers?”
my take are
having a longform article directly in the timeline, i even put alerts, it’s awesome. If i don’t have time to read it right now, i simply put a bookmark. It will be great to eventually comment or boost after having read it.
i don’t see a moderation issue because, as we are saying, those blogs are personal instances. You have to explicitly go to follow them, and if you see some external content you don’t like, boosted by others in your timeline, well, you can single silence/block for yourself.
(… don't even get me started in limiting users to "a few characters and a 10MB video")
