Wrote a bit of a thread on this here: https://mastodon.mauve.moe/web/@mauve/110300317077369839
Some notes on what we've discussed at Sutty:
We're going to have a call some time to get folks to talk about these tradeoffs.
The goal will be to get us all on the same page on what we value in the moderation and what we're going to implement.
TODO for me: We have a strategy now, I'll post it in detail here.
So, here's what we'll be settling on for the moderation:
One thing on the TODO list is to have block-lists of words to enable filtering out slurs / dog whistles to ease automation further, but there's no timeline for when we'll have that.
We'll be making use of these moderation features for our Hypha / COMPOST specific blogs as a way to test out the usability and we'll be adding/removing stuff to make it easier for us and anyone else making use of the tool.
If you have any thoughts or questions feel free to post them here or ping me on the fediverse.
I think we should base our initial blocklist on https://thebad.space/about
This seems to cover a lot of forms of bigotry or low-moderation instances.
This list is pretty strict and blocks large instances like mastodon.social
https://thebad.space/location/aac50add-0024-49fb-9096-27db308d3842
We might want to discuss whether we want to manually add exceptions with a tradeoff of getting more reach at the expense of safety.
We will also default to using the garden fence blocklist in order to ease onboarding to the fediverse by preemptively blocking the least safe instances.
