Someone should set up a third-party tool that mastodon/fediverse users can report abuse to. It should be staffed by people who are skilled at evaluating this stuff and who are paid to do it.

Recommendations/instructions to block instances/individuals could then be sent out to instance admins or even individual users (in an automated way), either as a collective or by subscription.

Or, rather, is anyone doing this already? #federatemoderation

Obviously, this is "just" RBLs and services like Block Together, but we have an opportunity to build better infrastructures to support this. It's not sustainable that individual instance operators are having to painstakingly share and maintain blocklists.

@blaine Account reputation score could be possible to do technically (even in a distributed system), but there are many potential negative impacts from such scoring systems.
