@darius 100%. It creates verification AND gives other instances the choice to either support or deny that instance on their server.

@Gargron I know you've resisted calls for distributed mod tools (eg. Blocklists going from instance to instance) in the past. In light of the new volume problem, would you consider being more open to such approaches and building/merging code into the main branch that would allow:
a. an instance to get admin decisions from another instance to help inform/drive their decision
b. A model where instances could publish or subscribe (via ActivityPub) to a list of mod activities.
These would help.

@dansup You should chat with @christianselig and @ernest

Maybe the 3 of you can join forces and get an Apollo-like experience for both #kbin and #pixelfed at the same time :)
