Hi! I remember there beings talks about beehaw planning to eventually move to a lemmy alternative with proper moderation tools, and was interested in following the development of this alternative, but I've forgotten the name of the project and can't find the specific posts about the subject. Anyone remember what I'm talking about?

what are proper moderation tools though?

[–] thief_of_names@beehaw.org 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Dunno? More moderation tools in general. Lemmy mods regularly complain about a lack of tools, but I've never moderated anything so I wouldn't know. The project page probably describes what additional tools it has which is one of the things I'm interested in reading about.

Perhaps some moderators can chime in with what kinda stuff they miss or want?

FYI, here's all the moderation things outstanding: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/labels/area%3A%20moderation

That's not a list of things BeeHaw finds lacking though.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well, there's been a lot of updates and a lot of moderation tools improvements since the version that beehaw has deployed was released.

Just providing context for folks who may not be familiar with GitHub

The ability to delete images would be a nice start

It is a feature since 0.19.3 released a few weeks ago

And why do they have to be spun out into their own network? I'm pretty sure the lemmy devs would have no problem with just integrating tools within Lemmy, or at least provide suitable APIs for external tools.

I mean as long as they are 100% compatible with lemmy extensions to the ActivityPub protocol or atleast ActivityPub, fine by me.
