@renchap@oisaur.com Thanks for the writeup, and it's great to hear that Mastodon gGmbH has heard that the community is asking for more effort in this area. As things move forward, it's critical to get the input of people communities who are targeted by hate speech and most at risk from harassment -- including women, BIPOC, trans and non-binary people, Muslims, Dalits, disabled people, and especially people at the intersections. They're the experts, but their input is often ignored -- Twitter for example repeatedly rolled out moderation solutions they thought would help but had obvious holes, and Bluesky's making the same mistake. So this is a chance for the fediverse to do better -- while also making progress on some of its equity issues.

One of the challenges in fediverse instance governance today is that there's no good way for people on an instance to collectively let their admin know how they feel about an issue. It strikes me that a simple petition app could work quite well here:- people log in with their fediverse account to "sign" -- so it's verified that they actually have an account on the instance- a simple "database" list signers to display them publicly- an optional "let people know" button could make it easy to tell others about itDoes anybody know if an app like this exists -- or if there's a good template to use as a starting point?#fediverse
