Documentation

A public report that another app.matakite.* record violates community norms — spam, unresolvable criteria, private-individual target, harassment, duplicate, etc. Flags are signed records in the flagger's own PDS: public, timestamped, and attached to the flagger's DID. Frivolous flagging feeds the flagger's own quality record; the design mirrors app.matakite.dispute — the deterrent is reputational, not economic. Flags are inputs to appview indexing, display policy, and labelers; they are not censorship, and any appview may weight them differently.

Record Key tid Timestamp-based ID

Properties

createdAt string datetime Required

An RFC 3339 formatted timestamp.

note string Optional

Optional reasoning, public. Required by convention when reason is 'other' — appviews may downweight noteless 'other' flags.

maxLength: 3000 bytesmaxGraphemes: 300 graphemes
reason string Required

Category of concern. 'unresolvable' = criteria and sources cannot yield a definitive outcome (Metaculus-style annulment candidate). 'duplicate' = substantively the same question already exists. 'privateIndividual' = record targets a non-public person. 'harassment' = record targets a person maliciously. 'spam' = low-quality or automated volume. 'other' = anything else; a note is expected by appview convention (the schema cannot require it conditionally).

Known values: unresolvable, duplicate, privateIndividual, harassment, spam, other
subject ref com.atproto.repo.strongRef Required

The flagged record (uri + cid). Valid on any app.matakite.* record — questions, forecasts, resolutions, disputes. The cid pins the exact version being flagged; a later edit to the target creates a new cid and does not inherit flags.
