Move the content moderation rules into the SDK - #1493
Merged
Conversation
Web and mobile each carried their own copy of the rules that decide when a post gets de-emphasized, and the copies had drifted. Mobile flagged posts as downvoted at -7B rshares and 4 voters where web used -10B and 5, mobile dimmed every author under reputation 25 regardless of what they wrote, and mobile had no equivalent of the low-trust check at all. The same post therefore looked different depending on which client opened it. The rules now live in @ecency/sdk under modules/moderation, next to the quest catalog and for the same reason: one place decides, every client renders. The module exports the thresholds, isHiddenPost, hasExternalLink, isLowTrustSeoPost and getContentModerationReason, which returns the reason that actually fired. Precedence is explicit and tested: a moderator action outranks the downvote heuristic, which outranks the spam heuristic. Order matters because downvotes sink an author's reputation, so a downvoted post would otherwise be labelled low trust and hide why it was really flagged. Two behaviour changes fall out of the unification. Low reputation on its own no longer dims anything on web or mobile, it needs an outbound promotional link as well, since dimming every small account punishes newcomers for existing. And authors the viewer has personally muted are now dropped from web lists outright rather than left as a dimmed placeholder, matching what the mobile feed already does. An unknown author reputation is explicitly not a signal, so feeds that omit the field no longer flag every post that carries a link.

Entry page warnings still evaluated their own predicates, so a post could stack several warnings and a moderator-muted post by a negative-reputation author read as low reputation. They now come off the SDK reason, which also picks up stats.hide. The reputation sign still chooses the wording, since hivemind grays a post both for a moderator action and for a negative author reputation. Author-mute filtering moves out of the card and into whoever owns the list. A card that drops itself leaves the parent behind: bookmarks rendered an empty bordered wrapper, and a fully muted list stayed on its populated branch instead of showing its no-data state. EntryListContent (every feed, profile, community and infinite list path) and BookmarkItem now filter through one hook. Specs use QueryKeys.accounts.mutedUsers rather than a hardcoded key, so they cannot drift from the query the components actually read.
A list slice cannot answer for the whole list. EntryListContent is often one slice, a server-rendered page 1 with an infinite list under it, so its placeholder goes back to answering "did this have anything at all" off the raw entries while it renders only the visible ones. Otherwise a fully muted first page announced that the community had no posts, above later pages that did. The components that do own a total now count visible entries through one hook: the feed list, the profile infinite list and the bookmarks list. An all-muted profile or bookmark page reaches its real empty state instead of rendering as blank space or an empty grid. The profile list takes the first page's authors rather than its count, since whether those are visible depends on the mute list and only the client has it. Bookmark cards no longer check the mute themselves, the list does it: one rule, lists filter and cards render.
showEmptyPlaceholder now means "this component owns the list's empty state", and an owner decides on what the viewer can see: a list of nothing but muted authors is empty to them. That covers the surfaces reached through one EntryListContent, curation trails and archive pages among them, without each of them growing its own counter. Community pages are the composed case: a server-rendered slice with an infinite list under it. Both slices hand ownership to CommunityContentInfiniteList, which counts visible entries across the pair, so an all-muted community says so instead of rendering blank, and a muted first page no longer announces that the whole community is empty above pages that are not. The three community call sites pass the server slice's authors down for the same reason the profile one does: visibility depends on the mute list and only the client holds it.
Bookmarks paginate by button, and the button lived inside the items branch. A first page of nothing but muted authors filtered to empty, which said "empty list" and removed the only route to later pages the viewer could see. The button now renders on its own, and the empty state waits for pagination to run out. The profile and community lists have a scroll sentinel that keeps fetching, so they recover on their own, but they could still flash "no posts" over a page whose authors happened to all be muted. Both now hold the message until there is nothing left to fetch.

Closes #1492
Needs the
patch:sdklabel to go green.apps/webimports the new module from@ecency/sdk, which resolves to the committeddist, and that is only rebuilt by the label-triggered changeset workflow. Typecheck, tests and build will fail until the label is applied. I have not added it, per our usual split. Verified locally against a freshpnpm --filter @ecency/sdk build: SDK 814 tests, web 2720 tests,pnpm -r typecheckandpnpm lintall pass.Web and mobile each carried their own copy of the rules that decide when a post is de-emphasized, and the copies drifted:
stats.gray/stats.hidenet_rshares < -10Band>= 5votersnet_rshares < -7Band> 3votersMobile also checked low reputation before downvotes, so a heavily downvoted post read "low reputation account" there and "Downvoted by users" here.
The module
packages/sdk/src/modules/moderationnow owns the thresholds,isHiddenPost,hasExternalLink,isLowTrustSeoPost,isAuthorMutedandgetContentModerationReason, which returns the reason that actually fired. Same rationale as the quest catalog: one place decides, each client maps the reason to its own copy.accountReputationstays module-internal, since both apps already have their own copy for display and a second root export would just be ambiguous.Precedence is explicit and tested: moderator action, then downvotes, then low trust. Downvotes sink reputation, so the reverse order would label a downvoted post "low trust" and hide why it was really flagged.
Behaviour changes on web
EntryListItem, the first place holding the viewer's mute list, so it lands after hydration.g.muted-messageis now unused and removed.author_reputationis explicitly not a signal. PreviouslyaccountReputation(undefined)returnedNaNand the comparison quietly returned false; now it is a documented early return, so feeds that omit the field cannot start flagging every post that carries a link.Note the mute drop applies to every
EntryListItem, bookmarks included, so a bookmarked post by a since-muted author will render nothing.Tests
Rule tests moved from
apps/web/src/specs/utils/is-low-trust-author.spec.tsto the SDK next to the implementation, and cover precedence, thetotal_votesversusactive_votesfallback and the unknown-reputation case.entry-list-item.spec.tsxgains coverage for the mute drop, the three hint messages and the reveal click. The global SDK spec mock hands out the real moderation functions from source, since components call them during render.Follow-up in vision-mobile consumes the published SDK and deletes its copy of the rules.
