   Remote reporting is one of those things that is just going to engender further conflicts between instances.

      @maiyannah Is that going to be reporting remote users to your own admin or reporting remote users to their local admin from your own site? Cause if the latter I predict people are going to think the remote site has the same rules as their local site because they're reporting it on their local site.

         @verius Mastodon has a feature for remote reports that is to the admin of the instance in question.  I already have problems with that for the aforementioned reason, but another problem I have is that it changes the report to appear as if from the admin of that instance so it is basically putting words in someone else's mouth.  It is literally impersonation.

            @verius If I implemented remote reports I would have to filter out impersonated reports somehow, probably by requiring a key.  I have no patience for that kind of shit.
