forwarded reports feel like one of the most unpolished portions of this entire network and that's saying a lot. there's not a standardized way, there's not a special cool format that i could include additional attributes such as tags, assigned user etc. it's just a bunch of random shit sent by the remote instance actor. the actor format isn't even standard, i'll get @mastodon.social, @instance.actor all sorts of various accounts and it's like why can't you just include a category for hostname lol? why the fuck is it like this... i get using the instance actor to proxy reporters so that you don't have retaliation (it makes sense for it to be anonymous like that) but for the love of god lol
