@snow But hey shoutout to @Mastodon for having #moderators on rotation to quickly yeet #Shitcoin #Scammers!

Dear #Fosstodon members,
I understand that there was a recent issue with instance #moderators. I have read several articles on the subject.

What I see happening is people moving away from Fosstodon. There have also been discussions of other instances blocking Fosstodon.

I have read what @Gina has written about how she is trying to address the site's reputation, and I appreciate her efforts.

For me, I _feel_ the interaction on posts _may_ be down. Is anyone else feeling this also?

This needs #attention .
Hiding this #truth and not being able to #educate folks damages #fosstodon community and infuriates all #Hindus and #Buddhists seeking justice for their sacred symbol.
Folks on mastodon, SPEAK UP!
See the #difference and make a difference.

Is anyone else having difficulty posting videos here on Mastodon recently?

It hasn't mattered the size of the video, it just doesn't want to fully process them or allow them to be posted.

They process, it sits there forever, and I can never post them. It didn't used to do that... this has been the last week or so.

Thank you!

@cxberger so basically that #chatroom has no / insufficient #moderators then?

I guess this means it's kinda self-inflicted then??

#Bluesky Deletes #AI Protest Video of #Trump Sucking Musk's Toes, Calls It 'Non-Consensual #Explicit Material'

Update: After this article was published, Bluesky restored Kabas' post and told 404 Media the following: "This was a case of our #moderators applying the policy for non-consensual AI content strictly. After re-evaluating the #newsworthy context, the #moderation team is reinstating those posts."

RE: Porn on the "Teen" tag.

@marekalexa
Just wanted to say publicly, this is something that most mainstream #Fediverse #moderators actively try to go after. If we see it, we ban it quick, and if anyone else sees it, we highly encourage them to report it so we can take immediate action.

I had not been sweeping the "Teen" tag with my own system, but I think I will add that to the list when I do a sweep, as you are absolutely right that this is something #moderation on servers should be keeping an eye out for.

I encourage anyone who is going to be writing a script/tool, to reach out to the #FediMod community, and to work with us on integrating it with our existing services, as anything claiming to be CSAM absolutely DOES NOT belong here.

On another note, Fedi has some of the most active moderation on the internet, more than any other social network. I am also concerned to think what is getting allowed on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter or whatever, where there is far less moderation.

@adhdeanasl also #Scammers can't really buy range like they can on #BillionaireSocialMedia:

Shure one could get #bots to #boost stuff, but those won't pop up in users' feeds unless they follow one #bot that boosted it.
AFAIK no #ActivityPub implementation even supports sponsored content / #ads unlike #Treads / #NSAbook, #BlueSky or #Shitter.
Above-Average #TechLiteracy and actual #moderators quickly yeet #scammers and their posts...

Burnout is a persistent issue with one in five moderators report experiencing trauma or burnout this year, underlining the need for wellness and resilience resources.

If you relate to this, IFTAS Connect offers support and resources to cope with many common issues for moderators and it’s free: about.iftas.org/2024/05/29/ift .

A new era of lies: Mark Zuckerberg has just ushered in an extinction-level event for truth on social media.

The Meta boss’ decision to get rid of the platform’s 40,000 moderators has set the stage for a fact-free four years online.

There are no walls on a spider’s web.

We want a web where everyone can participate, where everyone is safe from abuse and harm, where civil society can flourish, where people can meet, learn, share, live, love, laugh.

Our founding grants have delivered a “do not interact list,” the CARIAD block list, FediCheck, a moderator library, prototype of an opt-in CSAM detection and reporting service, the IFTAS Connect community, and more.

@ColetteDiskette #BlueSky was inherently designed to be garbage.

#Funfact: #Dorsey left it once it became clear they need #moeration and #moderators!
