Hi ! I'm working on Hackers' Pub, a small -powered social platform for developers and tech folks.

We're currently drafting a content (/) 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.
