So far, the birthing pangs of whatever this is have been messy in terms of their effect on people. #oliphant #hachyderm #tusky and I am sure many others have found that #moderation and #governance are sticky, thorny functions where people are often made very unhappy, by decisions or by experiences or by the cost of these on relationships and communities.

I urge #mercy, #compassion and #grace 1st, maybe #forgiveness where possible. But #transparency, #rules & #roles, too

@nemobis thanks for that pointer to #oliphant! That led me to https://github.com/eigenmagic/fediblockhole which looks almost exactly like what I was imagining. But perhaps rather than pushing the changed blocks automatically, having some kind of email/matrix notification get generated to require admin/moderator review?
