I know centralization is the anti thesis to federation, but when it comes to abuse and spam detection/mitigation, I think the fediverse needs an optional centralized and trusted service to share abuse/spam intelligence across instances so admins can better moderate their services

I hate spam, I’m totes up to the task to build this and make it available to other projects too

FediDB could be the perfect home for this, any fedi devs that want to work with me on this, send me a DM

@dansup why couldn't this service be based on federation? Thus there could be more than one, with different standards, and admins could migrate between them?

I know of one guy who is working something like that: thebad.space/about . "Spam" here also includes instances who give power to people who are abusive and hateful. It is run by @Are0h

@dansup what if the structure & data were singular (for a distribution), but distributed like torrents. Contributions via source-control. Any folks could PR / MR changes to an upstream and torrent out local copies. That way it's still not centralised as such.
