Let's say I like and trust the mastodon.social moderation team and their choices, but I'm thinking about setting up a self-hosted server (I was thinking GoToSocial) for technical/personal reasons. Is there a way to configure a Mastodon server so that all moderation decisions are just plain delegated to another server? Like at least in terms of "federate with this server, softblock this server, defederate this server", have it just follow what mastodon.social was doing.
