There was a big decision at the SWICG meeting today to start a Moderation, Trust & Safety Task Force that aims to write a report to improve those aspects of the protocol.

I've volunteered to lead that task force.

#SWICG #ActivityPub

Whilst this task force can't make individual implementations better, we can work on fixing protocol level issues (e.g., how to communicate updates to a Flag Activity that's used for federating a Report)

I think there's also scope for working with others to ensure Moderateability and Trust & Safety concerns are addressed during protocol design.

@thisismissem Any chance of some kind of "Best Practices for Implementers" guide?

I would personally find this very helpful.

@thisismissem I don't see anything about the Flag activity on there...

@FenTiger sorry, lol, I thought this was the other thread we were in πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ β€” it's been a long day.

As for best practices re implementing Flag activities, that's something I'm wanting to establish with this task force.

@thisismissem No worries - I know the feeling ;)
@[email protected] that's fantastic! Would be interested in listening in to meetings, let me know!
@thisismissem I don’t have enough real-world experience to contribute to this, but I’m rooting for you. This may be THE defining issue that makes the Fediverse better than the corporate silos.
