Friendly reminder: last year I built FediMod FIRES, a protocol and reference server implementation for sharing moderation data.

I haven't yet been able to get anyone to adopt it or even signal intent to adopt. But regularly I see people complaining about the lack of data sharing when it comes to moderation, especially for combating spam, scams, and harassment. The tool is there, please use it!

Whilst I'm not actively working on FediMod FIRES this quarter, I did apply in November for a grant to continue that work, and last I heard a few weeks ago is that the grant made it to the next stage, so I may have some money again to fund development.

It's not 1.0.0 yet, because I decided it needed more work for me to be happy to call it that, but it is usable!

Installation is also super simple for data producers, literally two commands on debian or ubuntu boxes.

@thisismissem you have pretty good installation tutorial but...not a single word about what to do after that

Or maybe I'm looking at wrong location, but I couldn't find anything about how to make up and running server do something useful (/nonneg)

Maybe I can help with documenting somehow?

@mo oh, also, my assumption was "post installation, you'll probably open your web browser to the server URL and start poking around and log in with the credentials you were shown"
@thisismissem well, there's not so much motivation to install something I don't understand how to use
@mo I'm also cautious to give screenshots right now because the plan is to completely revamp the admin next funding round
@mo FediMod FIRES as a reference server is also still pretty oriented towards early adopters, not mainstream market
