After seeing how #FediAntisemitism can be useful as a tag (not getting into the issue of false positives on it), I'd like to see something like that for other #Moderation issues we see on the #Fediverse.

I propose we start using the tags #FediRacism, #FediQueerphobia, #FediTransphobia, and #FediAbleism when posting about examples of those things.

This will have three major uses...

1) Serve as a more specific warning to instances that are actively trying to protect themselves against those things. (eg, Black or Queer instances that need to spot #Racism and #Queerphobia fast to protect their users from #Harassment)

2) Give us a more direct way to track these issues on the network at large, and thus collect data on them.

3) Provide a more granular tagging for #FediBlock and #InstanceBlock posts.

I would like to say all this with the disclaimer that these tags always have false positives, so I encourage people to check the receipts before they block.

What are people's thoughts on this?
