    If the issue is mainly moderation tools then here’s what I think would be a good way to mitigate bad actors while making the experience seamless for the end user, promotes growth, and doesn’t kneecap the fediverse.

    1. Make it so that one can block users from one instance from commenting or posting on an instance. (The users on the former should be notified of this). This way the latter instance is safe and curated.

    2. Add a way to vet users from other instances so that they can participate in the community without having to make a new account. This way, users of good character on other instances can participate in this one without having to make another account. The vetting process can be manual or automated based on factors like account age, if they have an email, etc.

    3. Allow users to block instances entirely. This allows users themselves to have control over what they see.

    I don’t have much system architect experience but I’ll attempt to make a more comprehensive document that takes into account the variety use cases needed in this system after work.
