This is a good question. I would do 2 things.
1) Offer the ability for people to make take-down requests, removing
the specific post from the aggregator.
2) If 1 got too large then just remove the aggregator entirely and
replace it with vetted and curated blog posts driven through the a
dedicated Fedora SIG focused on reviewing the content.
Fedora is full of smart people with smart ideas
For example, did you know somebody registered fedora.community back in
2015? They deserve a medal.
Your idea is equally smart:
- an uncurated planet
- a curated newsletter (or alternative planet)
Each person can then choose which one they subscribe to. Before the
web, most organizations, from football clubs to student unions only had
the latter, a curated newsletter.
The funny thing is, this split already started to happen with
uncensored.some-other.community vs
planet.some-other.org
I'm glad we are in agreement. If nobody else volunteers, I'd volunteer
to work on the curated.fedora.community site.
