Concepts

In order to better understand FIRES, there are several guiding concepts that are worth understanding.

  • Firewall-based Federation Management – Using policies to control what we accept, filter, reject, and ignore when federating.
  • Advisories & Recommendations – The different types of moderation decisions supported.
  • Filters – Shared vocabularies of filters to apply when applying a moderation decision.
  • Labels – Organising moderation decisions using shared vocabularies of labels.
  • Retractions – Sometimes moderation decisions change and we need to issue a retraction to a previously made decision.
