Idea: Ability to allow moderators to communicate with each other #6

Open ThisIsMissEm opened 3 weeks ago

This likely needs a group actor for moderators, and to have that advertised somewhere. Currently the "instance actor" is used for federating Flag activities, however this also isn't really defined anywhere.

There is this FEP that aims to help with discovery of "instance actors" (named in the FEP as "application actors") — https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/2677/fep-2677.md

It would likely be best to extend this to multiple possible instance related actors, and define a simple vocabulary for their purpose. E.g. the "instance actor", a group actor for moderators, a securitytxt.org-style actor, etc.

Yeah, but we need a way to advertise and discover all those actors, formalising the instance actor is the first step, since it's already in use; next step is defining additional actors for moderation, security, etc.

Well, I'm not saying you/this group is falling into that trap. But historically speaking across software engineering, it's easy to start with a specific idea, and when a second specific idea with staggering similarities comes along, you can either duct-tape it on, or make breaking changes. I'd like to avoid either with that comment, that's all :)
