i've been keeping up to some degree with the whole post-tumblr fandom diaspora entity, and it's been kind of wild to see all the various angles people are coming from in terms of social mores? there was a post about how to feign tumblr-style reblogs through copying and pasting text/html that got quite a lot of debate in the comments that in a lot of ways stemmed fundamentally from people's expectations about what the technical tools at their disposal mean socially.
also in the fandom discord there's been kind of a rolling conversation about engagement-via-curation as in the style of all those tumblr aesthetic blogs, and how deletion factors into that -- lots of talk about how it would be improper to have somebody deleting a post also delete the references to it in a reblog (which apparently pillowfort does), when even here on dreamwidth if somebody deletes a post it deletes all the comments on it, etc etc etc. a lot of different angles from which to view 'who has authority over content once it's been posted'.
not even "there's no technical answer to a social problem", and more "without social desires there are no technical solutions in the first place"
