When I say moderation, I mean it in a lax sense. A single-user or small family instance is inherently moderated. Public instances will need dedicated moderators. Requirements to participate should be lax. They're there to filter out the endless game of whack a mole with outright malicious instances. Those won't get to participate, but others will Eventually this system can be used to enforce flag days across fedi too!

Of course, if an instance is given the benefit of the doubt and they violate that trust, then they would be removed from the list. This is no worse than the status quo. But malicious instances will not get to participate unless they can convince someone to vouch for them. And there could be punishments for vouching for a malicious instance If individual servers disagree with the collective allowlist, they can still have their own private list that they use that's catered to their own members |
