tuskyapp / mod-companion Goto Github PK

To develop this app, we need a test Mastodon instance where we are admins and can just create/block/promote users without problems.

Any idea which instance we could use or who could host an instance for us?

(I never used the mastodon moderation interface, I definitely need some help with that)

Here is an overview of what the moderation api can do:
mastodon/mastodon#9387

Looks like the two main entities to work with are users and reports. So we probably need a way do display a list of users (search and sortable) and a list of reports (at least sortable), and a detail view for each where you can actually perform the moderation actions.

My first idea would be to just have a bottom bar that switches between the two lists and controls for sorting/searching in the top bar.

When I have more time I will draw some wireframes for this

What icon should the app have?
I think there are 3 main directions this could go:

• the Tusky icon, just in a different color (maybe with the interface also having a different primary color than Tusky)
• the Tusky icon with some kind of overlay
• something completely different

In which places should we add connections between the two apps? The direction Tusky -> companion should of course only be possible when the companion is installed and the user has moderation rights.

These come to my mind:

• when viewing an account in Tusky it should be easy to switch to the companion to access the moderation actions for that account
• maybe a way to share login tokens so users do not have to log into both apps? But we have to be super careful there to not create a security vulnerability when we do this.

What should the name of the app be? I think "Tusky Mod Companion" is actually nice, but maybe a bit long?
