What if ActivityPub software came with a special (@)moderators account that could support instance to instance moderation conversations, as well as a public inbox that anyone could message with reports or related activity.
It would even come with a gorgeous admin dashboard to track reports and conversations with custom labels for organization and webhooks for 3rd party integrations (like getting notified on slack or discord)
