[Feature] Synchronization settings and mapping

[skobkin]

Introduction

Synchronization feature is a very good tool for many instances. But it has some flaws.

For example, not every instance blocks any other which is considered "bad", but still wants to use benefits of community-driven moderation lists. Some just limits them leaving their users a freedom of information and ability to still manually follow users from the "bad" instance.

So here's an idea: list mapping.

Examples

So for example you can set your own sync profile by selecting sanctions and strategies for fediseer list. For example:

Sync settings 1 (default):

Fediseer list	instance sanctions	strategy
Censured	suspend	overwrite
Hesitated	limit	overwrite
Suspicious		no sync
Some other list		no sync

Sync setting 2 (custom)

Fediseer list	instance sanctions	strategy
Censured	limit	merge / append only
Hesitated		no sync
Suspicious		no sync
Some other list		no sync

Sync setting 3 (custom)

Fediseer list	instance sanctions	strategy
Censured	limit	merge with deletion
Hesitated	reject media	overwrite
Suspicious		no sync
Some other list	limit	overwrite

Explanation

Strategies

• overwrite - completely synchronizes all data with fediseer by overwriting existing list entries on the instance
• merge / append only - adds entries which do not currently exist in the list on the instance
• merge with deletion - adds entries which do not currently exist in the list on the instance, but also removed entries which were previously synchronized from fediseed, but removed after that
• some other strategies with another direction priorities for example

Instance sanctions

• Limit - removed content from such instances from public timelines, but allows users to follow users from limited instance
• Suspend - completely disables any interaction with users from suspended instance
• Reject media - do not sync media from remote instance
• Other domain block options which are currently present

Something like this is pretty much the end-goal for synchronization, though it's gonna take a while.

Should feature request be automatically closed?

[RikudouSage]

Well, I use it more as a reminder that says "hey, you either forgot about this issue, or it's no longer relevant".
