With recent events hilighting the value of quality moderation, it got me to consider: How can we help you out?

What steps, considerations, encouragements or warnings would you give the userbase regarding best practices for using the report feature (or other interraction with mods)? Reporting less, reporting more, putting more detail in the form, or just leaving it blank?

I was thinking of maybe putting together a psa-style infographic (a la think before you post) if the answers you give are poignant or significantly unknown to the average user.

Also, not everything has Mastodon-style reports built in. Not sure about modern-day Friendica, but AFAIK, Hubzilla and (streams) don't.

So if you're on Mastodon, you report a Hubzilla user on their home hub, and nothing happens, that doesn't mean that moderation is neglected to such degrees that Fediblocking the whole hub is justified. It doesn't mean either that Hubzilla's culture is so much different from Mastodon's although it is.

It simply means that Hubzilla doesn't understand Mastodon reports.
