Thanks!

So it's just a setting they can flip at any time. When (not if) instance spam becomes an issue, there's already a way to address it.

Keep in mind that the fediverse is not just Lemmy. It would be a lot of work to vet each new fediverse instance that comes along.

This could (hopefully would) be mitigated by blocklist admins monitoring one of the resources that quantify instance activity after like x months. If everything checks out, let em in with a reminder in y months to circle back.

Semi related:

I've always wanted to see a mod list that breaks down "local". Like, you look at .worlds modlist from the main page, and it's every mod action from every federate instance.

It makes it hard for users to see what their own admins are up, especially with how frequent these discussions is, I feel that option would increase transparency for how an instance moderates so users can make informed decisions where to set up roots.

Yeah that'd be nice. Modlog has always left much to be desired. Although the core concept is great, it's not fleshed out enough to be as useful as it should be. Sometimes it can even be weaponized by rogue mods to slander certain users. Because when you ban someone, that mod action is permanent and you get to put whatever text you want as the ban reason.

It definitely needs work but I can understand other things taking priority, considering most users will never interact with the modlog anyway.
