I would love to see a feature where two fedi instances could establish a "trust" relationship, which would automatically enable a few things:

- direct relay: public posts are forwarded between the instances, as if they were on a relay together.
- common emoji list: trusted instances can use each other's custom emoji.
- auto-forward reports: any incoming reports are distributed to all trusted instances.
- shared mod notes: moderation notes such as strikes and warnings are visible by mods of trusted instances.
- report mod actions: when a moderator suspends or silences an account, a report is automatically sent to all trusted instances.
- domain reputation: federation management could show a warning when some percentage of trusted instances have blocked one that you haven't reviewed.
- user reputation: remote user management could show an indicator when a remote user has been suspended from one of your trusted instances.

All of these would be individual toggles, and they would only be enabled after mutual consent on both sides of the connection. I think this could pair very well with the "local bubble" feature of Akkoma / Sharkey to create safe, trusted pockets of federation. It would also reduce the time necessary to detect and respond to emerging threats.
