Currently, if a mastodon user posts a warning, the twitter bot posts "username@instance.tld: message".

We should replace this with a link to the user account instead.

I think it would be better to reduce visible data.
On the admin side of the Federation works you will still see that Person X sent Message A to Bot Y.
So I think it should be configurable if "username@instance.tld: " appears at all, defaulting to OFF.

Legal liability is another thing, so you'd need some kind of link to a disclaimer note that the entity running the bot has no control over the people who are interacting with it, or even that botA@instanceA.tld != botA@instanceB.tld etc

Yeah, good idea.

We are just sitting in our hackerspace/living room and are thinking about a database design, for #3 :) as soon as we implemented that, we can track the authors in the database, but don't have to publish them. Could be useful if we want to block certain people for abusing the bot or for false positives (some Nazis may try to disrupt the concept).

We don't show the name anymore when we bridge a report. As the original post is only boosted/retweeted yet, it is still possible to find out who reported. We will enable anonymous reports with #17.
