There was a discussion about this article 2 years ago here and here, but I thought it's such an interesting a novel concept full of potential that it's worth a repost.

Personally, I don't like it because of the reason it would need be needed in the first place, mobbying against those that would find it useful.

I think those that partake mobbying should be exposed and sued. And who knows, amid the process, maybe the suer could find out multiple of these accounts belonging to the same IP or even ID. And then, after some successful legal actions, mobbying should shrink a lot if not stop altogether.

What the hell is "mobbying"?

[-] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 7 months ago

I guess it's from "mobb"?

[-] Auster@thebrainbin.org 2 points 7 months ago

Could swear it had the extra B, but it stems from "mob", yeah.

[-] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 7 months ago

The extra b was half in jest, but yeah. I was actually surprised at first to find out "mobb" with two bs is an actual word.
