based on the list of instances made by @sunaurus@lemm.ee here - Thank you again for that work, it’s highly appreciated.

This is a preventive measure against massive amounts of accounts being created for botting purposes. Most instances banned appear to be 1 user instances so we don’t think this will have a great effect on anyone’s usage of Beehaw. If you are an admin of one of those instances, feel free to contact us at support@beehaw.org

    here is a list, btw, of tools we’d like if possible:

    • Role for approval of applications (to delegate)
    • Site mods (to delegate from admins)
    • Auto-report posts with certain keywords or domains (for easier time curating without reports)
    • Statistics on growth (user, comments, posts, reports)
      • User total
      • MUA
      • User retention
      • Number of comments
      • Number of posts
      • Number of reports open
      • Number of reports resolved
    • Sort reports
      • by resolved/open
      • by local/remote
    • Different ways to resolved a report
      • Suspend account for a limited amount of time rather than just banning
      • Send warning
    • Account mod info
      • Number of ‘strikes’ (global and local) and reports
      • Moderation notes
      • Change email
      • Change password
      • Change role
    • Ability to pin messages in a post
    • Admins should be able to purge
    • Filter modlog to local
    • Better federation tools (applications to communities, limiting)
      • Applications to communities to allow safe spaces to exist (people should not be able to just “walk in” on a safe space - similarly to follow requests in Mastodon in a way)
      • Limiting (Lock our communities down from certain instances but still allow people using our instance to talk to people from those instances)

    federation tools are our highest priority, but any of these would be welcome additions

      Adding to this - not a software solution but a platform one…

      I think it would make sense to be able to outsource a lot of this stuff to a trusted third party. That’s how email generally works these days for example.

      Beehaw would, of course, have it’s own moderation/policy/etc team, but wouldn’t it be better if you could also run a first pass check, possibly an automated one, that works across instances and flags accounts with known bad behavior (anything from illegal content to just being downvoted into obvlivion with every post they make on a reputable community).
