FIRES allows for advisories against Fediverse actors, as well.This is very, very similar to 'composeable moderation'. You subscribe to a dataset, and you can either grab the latest snapshot or subscribe and pull changes over time, so a retractions come in you can have things pulled off your blocklist.It also adds a bit more nuance. Things start out as advisories and can escalate to recommendations, but even a recommendation of 'block' doesn't mean autoblock, it's supposed to be a suggestion to your software (Mastodon, etc) to give you an option or to allow you to auto-accept. You might not care about things tagged with a label of 'Spam' so you let those through, for instance.This is essentially the protocol the Fediverse has needed to allow for sharing nuanced moderation recommendations. All you need to do is find a dataset or datasets you want to subscribe to, and can pull in those changes.This is all based on the work done by Em, the FIRES server I'm hosting is her reference server implementation, I'm just sideloading it from Pelago.Everyone is free to use my fires.1sland.social server as a real FIRES server for development purposes, in terms of testing the protocol.No retractions yet, but those will show up over time.
