Exploring Content Moderation in the Decentralised Web: The Pleroma Case - Research Paper from Queen Mary University of London, Telefonica Research, University College London, University of Surrey
kiwifarms.cc has been cited as an elite instance by researchers at Queen Mary University of London, Telefonica Research, University College London and University of Surrey due to being the #2 most defederated instance on the fediverse, after freespeechextremist.com. I've attached the full paper to this post. Here are some key takeaways.
Using Google's Perspective AI to classify post data, we can see there is no correlation between heavily defederated instances and rates of post classification.
Users familiar with fediverse instances will take note the very low "Sexually Explicit" score of neckbeard.xyz, a now-defunct (domain seizure) coomer instance replaced by bae.st. This puts Google's Perspective AI categorization accuracy into question.
Instances with the highest defederation rates are inversely less likely to defederate other instances.
Some tranny made up a bunch of lies about it being used to attack him and said it hosted child porn. The .xyz registrar didn't bother investigating anything and killed the domain as expected of a piece of shit tech company.
