@cwad@mastodon.circlewithadot.net this is cool, thanks! I'm looking to build out remote blocklist support at some point, so hopefully you won't have to keep creating nodebb-specific blocklist variants soon :smile:
Hi #fediverse! I'm working on Hackers' Pub, a small #ActivityPub-powered social platform for developers and tech folks.
We're currently drafting a content #moderation (#flag/#report) system and would really appreciate any feedback from those who have experience with federated moderation—we're still learning.
Some ideas we're exploring:
Protecting reporter anonymity while giving reported users enough context to understand and improve
Graduated responses (warning → content removal → suspension) rather than jumping to bans
Using LLM to help match reports to code of conduct provisions
Supporting ActivityPub Flag activity for cross-instance reports
Our guiding principle is that moderation should be about growth, not punishment. Expulsion is the last resort.
Here's the full draft if you're curious: https://github.com/hackers-pub/hackerspub/issues/192.
If you've dealt with moderation in federated contexts, what challenges did you run into? What worked well? We'd love to hear your thoughts.
@atarifrosch @activitypub.blog @about.iftas.org There’s no intention to exclude ClassicPress. Our resources are limited, so we don’t actively test with it, but I’m happy to fix issues when possible... or, even better, merge PRs that resolve them.
