I seem to be failing to understand your comments. You admit that there is content that should be reported to moderators.. yet reject the idea of moderating?

Because, other than reprehensible crap like Child Porn' or snuff, the ones I mention do so in OTHER PEOPLE'S rooms, where not appropriate. Containing your dysfunction in your own rooms is another matter entirely!!!

The goal is not to moderate other people’s servers. Simply our own index of their servers. And again, we are talking about the abusive stuff that you yourself just said is reprehensible and should be reported to the matrix.org staff

Neither New Vector nor the new Matrix(.)org Foundation represent not control the whole ecosystem. Individual room Mod's moderate their own rooms and Homeserver Dev'Op's decide if MXID deactivation is warranted.

But censoring an independant list is another matter entirely. I say maybe allow filtering NSFW and non-Politically Correct content, and let the user decide. But do not put political spin on it; as you are pushing a P.C. agenda.

Filtering/flag was my concession, if you are going for a draw i.e. win/lose/draw.

But here's a thing… IIRC this is a F(L)OSS project. So anyone aligned with, i.e. those bullies who attack all over the Federation while screaming their "special victimhood" status is free to make a fork or their own copy and decide what is Politicaly Correct on their own copy.

Btw, One of my fellow "Community Stewards", a fellow maintainer ("janitor") of many rooms stated that bunch is so afraid of being "oppressed", they became opressors!!! I agree 100%.

I was really only talking about illegal stuff. If you want it removed, the whole thing is moot.

Porn filtering should probably be by room. Homeservers could have many rooms with vastly different topics. I see no advantage to tagging them. How we add nsfw tags is a whole different topic. We should still honor description tags.. but maybe also offer description matching as well? Looking for keywords like “sex” might be sufficient to catch the rooms without proper category tags.

a13xmt: In case you had not thought of it, I suggest extracting the info' from the Hello-Matrix List before it's "curated"; JSON links at the bottom. The JSON has more info'.

Just the Homeserver URL/URI info' for all 84 listed Homeservers is here, and of those, the 38 listed Public Homeservers are filtered here.

Do we want servers that are private or not federating? We won’t be able to pull many if any stats from them and will not be able to index rooms.

Perhaps for completion.. but I can’t really think of a use for storing them. It would just be a list of domain names
