Oh and P.S., here's another feature I believe would really improve Mastodon moderation a *lot*, that I've previously proposed:
Instance A has blocked instance B, so all posts B sends towards A are rejected.
I would like a tally of how many those are.
Instance A has not blocked instance C. Users at instance C boost posts from B, which C attempts to send to B's followers at A. These, too, are rejected.
I would like a tally of that too. Which instances try to send how many boosts from defederated instances to us.
Identify which instances are gateways into the nasty parts of the network. Close gaps in the blocklist. Identify un- or undermoderated instances.
That would be really valuable.
