I’m gonna scope-creep this by adding: an easy API for publishing and subscribing to multiple blocklists.
Like, why are we still trading CSV files when we could just publish this info over ActivityPub?
Let’s make a tool for building/managing blocklists as an AP actor for anyone to subscribe to.
Add in a “polyfill” to subscribe and load this data straight into big apps like Mastodon, and we have instant moderation as a service.
I can start on Monday.
