Every mod action would automatically create a new post. Anyone could see what is going on and express their approval / disapproval with votes. Maybe even comment on the post.
It should probably be a local-only community (no federation) to avoid clogging up other instance's "All" feed with mod actions?
LOL this is the answer. For better or worse, the Fediverse has a large established culture. I would not fault someone for trying out every possible alternative first.
Do you have any links? I was unable to find any. Also if you don’t mind, what is the benefit to running one’s own BlueSky instance when instance owners don’t control the moderation?
Some people don’t like ActivityPub because it allows mods/admins to remove their content. If you are the sort of person who believes that a moderator moderating content is “censorship” then the AT protocol is a lot more appealing.
That’s not been my experience (the opposite actually), but the cool thing about the Fediverse is that it has room for all. Infinite diversity in infinite combinations!
Because, if not, then it means there are no Tucker Carlsons and no Jon Stewarts, and no John Olivers in that universe. Probably because nothing needs internal investigations in that society as a whole!
The federation between mastodon and lemmy is strange. If a M account wants to follow a L community, they need to follow an automated M account which represents the L community. But if any M post mentions that L community, the post will get boosted by the community's M account, so everybody who follows will get a notification. And I'm not sure if this can be moderated from the L side, because it seems like it never goes through L. Such as - do you see this @opensource ? Does a L mod see this?
The problem is that I don’t think the mods of the L community are able to ban M accounts from mentioning the L community, or prevent the reboost on the M side.
For those that are confused, realize Lemmy and Mastodon are two ways of displaying the same ActivityPub information:
Mastodon “favorite” is a Lemmy “upvote”
A Lemmy “comment” is a Mastodon “reply”
A Mastodon post with a mention is a Lemmy post within a community
A Lemmy “community” on Mastodon appears as a Mastodon account that boosts (retweets) everything that tags (is posted within) it.
Viewing a Lemmy community from Mastodon shows the entire community (posts and comments) in chronological order. Yes, it’s messy but doable.
Viewing a Lemmy account from Mastodon shows a feed of that user’s posts with URLs to the Lemmy instance they were posted to.
If a Mastodon user mentions a community, that toot gets posted to the community. Replies to the toot appear as comments on Lemmy and replies on Mastodon.
As others have noted, a toot exceeding a Lemmy instances character limit (200 I think by default) will be cut off on Lemmy and “overflow” into the “body” of the post.
Things that don’t directly “translate” AFAIK are the downvote arrow and the community moderator for both of which Mastodon has no equivalent.
