Hi #fediverse! I'm working on Hackers' Pub, a small #ActivityPub-powered social platform for developers and tech folks.
We're currently drafting a content #moderation (#flag/#report) 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
Flagactivity 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.
Hackers' Pub 신고(flag) 기능 기획서
洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee) @hongminhee@hackers.pub
Hackers' Pub 커뮤니티의 신고 시스템은 단순한 제재를 넘어 구성원의 성찰과 성장을 돕는 분산형 네트워크 환경을 지향합니다. ActivityPub 프로토콜을 기반으로 설계된 이 시스템은 Mastodon 등 외부 플랫폼과의 연합(federation) 환경에서도 유연하게 작동하며, 신고자의 익명성 보호와 피신고자의 알 권리 사이의 균형을 유지합니다. 기술적으로는 거대언어모델(LLM)을 활용하여 자유 형식의 신고 사유를 실시간 행동 강령(code of conduct) 조항과 동적으로 매칭하고, 신고 시점의 콘텐츠 스냅샷과 행동 강령 버전을 기록하여 검토의 객관성을 확보합니다. 관리자는 경고, 콘텐츠 검열, 일시 및 영구 정지로 이어지는 단계적 제재 체계를 통해 투명하게 사건을 처리하며, 피신고자는 이의 제기(appeal) 프로세스를 통해 공정한 재심 기회를 보장받습니다. 이러한 체계적인 설계는 자율적인 커뮤니티 관리의 복잡성을 해결하고, 건강하고 지속 가능한 연합우주(fediverse) 생태계를 구축하는 데 필요한 실무적인 통찰을 제공합니다.

Is there a formal specification for how cross-instance reporting should work in ActivityPub? Or, is there any well-documented material that explains how the major implementations handle it?

Recently, Lea Verou asked an important question about whether HTML should have a standardised way of letting users select a country from a list.

You can read through the conversation and make your own mind up (while also marvelling at the witless mansplainers) - but I'd like to give you my considered take on it.
(Disclaimer - I'm an editor on the HTML 5.3 spec and I work for the UK Government. This is a personal blog post and doesn't represent the views of my employers, associates, or friends.)
Who Are You?
Let's start with the big one. What is a country? This is about as contentious as it gets! It involves national identities, international politics, and hereditary relationships.
Scotland, for example, is a country. That is a (fairly) uncontentious statement - and yet in drop-down lists, I rarely see it mentioned. Why? Because it is one of the four countries which make up the country of the United Kingdom - and so it is usually (but not always) subsumed into that.
Some countries don't recognise each other. Some believe that the other country is really part of their country. Some countries don't exist.
There are two main schemes to classify what is and isn't a country. The first is ISO 3166-1. It provides two- and three-letter codes for every country. Well... sort of.
ISO 3166 contains 249 different countries, territories, protectorates, principalities, duchies, and other bits-and-bobs. It contains the Falklands, but not Scotland.
The second is... whatever your country says is another country!
My friends in the Government Registers Team have published a canonical list of every country that the UK recognises. There are 199 entries. Which countries are not in there is left as an exercise for the reader.
The UK's register of countries should allow every Government website to have the same list in a drop down. When new countries are recognised, one list needs to be updated - and then all websites automagically update. In theory.
Incidentally, that list of 199 countries includes four entries for countries which no-longer exist. For example Yugoslavia.
Which brings us to the next question...
What's the use case?
The most obvious one is "I want to give a site my current address" - presumably for identification purposes or postal deliveries.
But what if the use case is "I want to say where I was born"?
Borders shift. Countries disappear, merge, split, change names, change flags, and do all manner of weird things which trip up your edge cases.
The user may want to find the name in their own script - for example would a Greek user be looking for "Greece" or "Ελλάδα"? If a Chinese speaker wants to visit the UK, do they look in the drop-down for "英国"?
International Dialling Codes - not every country is unique - +1 is used by USA, Canada, Anguilla, Dominican Republic, and dozens more. Are there countries where there is more than one international dialling code?
OK, what if the user wants to select their language based on their country?
Do You Have A Flag?🔗
It is one of the classic conventions that first-year students of user interface design are taught - countries do not represent language!
Some countries have multiple official languages. Some users may not speak the language of their country. Some languages are only used for official purposes, and not by the general population.
Flags mostly represent countries. There are people in Wales who would rather see Y Ddraig Goch rather than the Union Jack. And vice-versa. Flags can make people angry.
The flag of the USA last changed in 1960 - but Mauritania changed theirs in August 2017. How quickly can a browser update their list of countries?
...and yet...
I instinctively like this idea! This isn't a new question, nothing ever is, but I think it is an idea which has merit.
One of the goals of HTML is to stop web developers having to re-invent the wheel. That's why we have lots of different <input> types - to reduce complexity.
Colour picker <input type="color">
Number inputs <input id="number" type="number" value="42">
Range selector <input type="range">
Some modern browsers support date input <input id="date" type="date">
The challenges of a country selector are...
- Keeping everyone happy and not causing major diplomatic incidents. Easy‽
- Usability. Making sure it's easy to search for the name of a country.
- Consistency. How do you indicate that this list contains historic countries?
None of these are insurmountable problems - but it's far from trivial.
And yet... I think there is a real possibility that this could work. Millions of websites already find ways to cope with the ambiguity - perhaps browsers can too?

🗺️ This is for everyone who has a #government that does horrible things in their name, who voted for a campaign promise but got nothing or the opposite, who has been disappointed repeatedly, who feels unheard, or who never even got a chance to vote!
🖼️ If you can relate, feel free to use this as your profile image so that others like us can see they are not alone, and those affected by our countries #politics see we disagree!
🎇Happy 4th of July! (2024)🎇
