#discord IS LITERALLY THE PROBLEM!

It's worse than any #IRC, #Mumble or even the old #TeamSpeak & #Skype for that matter.
It combines the disadvantages of #Forum, #paywalled #documentation, #chat and #voicechat with 0 redeeming qualities (unlike #Zulip & Mumble & #XMPP+#OMEMO) it's just an #InformationBlackhole!

I'm shure fecking #dread has better moderation and I'd rather use #MicrosoftTeams + #Slack cuz those at least have proper #moderation tools.

And I'd rather subscribe to the #LKML and see my inbox getting hosed than using any shitty #SaaS!

Case in point: I'd rather #SelfHost all my comms infrastructure than to ever use something like Discord or any other #GDPR-violating SaaS that is just enshittification.

I'd rather recommend people to instead choose a tool that does everything but horrible to go with multiple smaller & good tools

Public Chat? IRC!
Group Voicechat? Mumble.
#Documentation? #mkDocs-material.
1:1 Chats? XMPP+OMEMO.
E2EE Group Chats? #deltaChat.
E2EE Calls? #WebCall.
Filehosting? #IPFS, #BitTorrent, oshi.at, etc. ...

@iftas

Anybody working on maintaining #iftas fedicheck ? This was a pretty critical service that I feel like had a ton of potential. It's not even on github anymore ;_____;

I accept that instance admins must moderate: trolls, bots, repeat offenders, etc.

But for a first-time issue, and especially where there's a paid/professional relationship, there should be basic expectations:

- Warning
- Clear explanation
- Temporary suspension or post deletion
- Response to appeal

Moderation shouldn’t default to exile with no discussion.

Effective moderation of social media to curb genocidal content

"The 2020-2022 Tigray war is reported to be the deadliest armed conflict of the 21𝑠𝑡 century, with an estimated 600 to 800,000 documented deaths and more than 100 thousand victims of rape as a weapon of war. Social media platforms were instrumental in spreading genocidal content during the conflict, and failure to effectively moderate hateful content resulted in the murder of civilians. This work investigates the expertise and processes required to effectively moderate such genocidal content, and compares these findings to the expertise and processes prioritized by social media platforms."

@DAIR's page has a 10-minute video and a link to the CHI paper, and a statement - which I'll include excerpts from in a reply.

I'll be reaching out to the City of Langford today to offer them a safer, moderated, place to post timely information for their community.

Would love to see them join @EsquimaltBC here on #SocialBC

Facebook is where many communities have ended up, but unfortunately it has become dominated by a few very loud, very inappropriate, damaging voices. The harm is real.

The Open Social Web can provide an alternative.

I have considered this, but have held off.

The moderation here is excellent, and what slips thru gives me a view into the nonsense. Rarely have to report, easier to just ignore.

BTW, Nicole is in hospice.

Klar, dass Elon #Musk nun wieder mit antisemitischen #Verschwörungsmythen um sich wirft und auf X behauptet, die US-Proteste gegen Donald #Trump seien vom jüdischen Milliardär George #Soros finanziert... #Antisemitismus

Sachez que j'ai fait des signalements à mastodon.social pour des fausses informations d'extrême droite, et que les messages en question ont été supprimé dans les 48H à chaque fois.

C'est pas encore assez, mais c'est déjà ça.

@publictorsten Ich möchte mal kurz darauf hinweisen, dass in einem Werkzeugkasten der #Moderation weitaus mehr Möglichkeiten stecken als „löschen“, „beschränken“ und „laufenlassen“. (Kein Zweifel, dass X davon gar nichts verwendet. Aber das muss nicht besonders betont werden.)

Probably spend too much time doing it but I report so much shit that shouldn't be on #tumblr, I'm #anticensorship to the bone but the underage exploitation material needs to be policed better by the admins or start paying me money and give me some admin privs to clean it up and the other problem is the self-replicating BOTS posting this filth and code not keeping upto booting the BOTS and original #user responsible.

@Wikimedia_Fr sert principalement à mettre en relations les gens. Depuis quelques temps, l'asso organise des réunions pour les personnes qui s'occupent de la #modération des wikis : patrouilleurs et administrateurs. L'occasion de leur faire rencontrer des spécialistes : l'avocat de l'asso, les forces de l'ordre de #Pharos, le tiers de confiance Point de Contact. #wikipedia #wikimedia

Große Freude, die:
Am wichtigen #Workshop nicht teilnehmen können, sich vorher Mühe geben, der Moderatorin den eigenen Input gut zu erklären und hinterher eigentlich alle Punkte wortwörtlich in den Ergebnissen wiederfinden.
I like!

There is a moderation problem there. Just saying.

I just had a post reported by "mastodon.online"

Which is odd because that is a domain, not a user, and there is nothing wrong with the post at all.

What is going on? Is this some new kind of spam?

@aubreyjones, I'm obviously going to dismiss this but can anyone tell me why there isn't a user who made this report? Why is it just the domain? It feels very OFF.
