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?

I'd leave the sorting up to the users. So for a post where 5 users tagged it as 'baroque music', and 5000 tagged it as 'boring', one could sort the feed by 'total tags' on a post indicating general interest (5005), or just 'total tags I follow' which might just be 'baroque music' (5). Or maybe reverse sort by tags so 'boring' stuff is towards the bottom.

I'd think that ignoring tags would be a thing for users, so "libtards" or whatever could be ignored.

Tag mods could ban problematic users, so someone could get banned for tagging 'corporate lies' where the mods think it doesn't belong. Offenders could make their own 'corporate liez' tag though, I suppose.

A tag hierarchy might be desirable, like everything tagged 'baroque' also getting 'music' automatically. Perhaps through agreements with the mods of each tag.

'archive of our own' I've heard has a solid system of tag moderation. Not sure it would be appropriate for a system like this.
