Forking Lemmy does fork its bad habits but doing so would at least give us the option of making direct improvements to the mod tools.
From what I’ve read, causing deleted content to get deleted quickly is a smaller change. Advertising that shortened deletion delay and giving the admins a “these keep our shit, yeet their federation privileges but check again every day and notify me when that changes” script wouldn’t be too hard to create.
We might even be better off ignoring the Lemmy codebase for mod tools altogether. If we outright ignore cross-platform compatibility, we can make a mod tools API independent of Lemmy-proper that does what’s needed and a JavaScript-controlled interface to sit on top or a separate toolset altogether.
I’m pretty busy right now but I rely on Beehaw for decent social media. I’d be willing to put a bit of time into it.
