Built a lil helper tool to convert IFTAS DNI CSV to a format that I can import for the new fediverse.info admin dashboard ✨

I made some changes to #tagspub over the last couple of days. It's now using the #IFTAS DNI and AUD domain blocking lists, both for sending and receiving data. It will not let actors on those domains subscribe to tags, send activities, or read any data from the site. I've tried to harden the service to blocked domains as best as I could, which might have been too tight -- let me know if you have problems receiving data from the service.

Síntese do Relatório IFTAS 2025: A moderação na Web Social enfrenta risco estrutural.
O levantamento com 184 serviços, representando aproximadamente 7 milhões de contas, aponta um cenário crítico para a sustentabilidade da moderação.
A proporção atual é de um moderador para cada 3.500 contas ativas. A maioria das equipes carece de formalização: 65% não possuem acordos de trabalho definidos e mais de 90% dos moderadores atuam sem qualquer compensação financeira. O esgotamento profissional atinge um em cada cinco respondentes, índice que permanece inalterado desde 2023, sugerindo um problema estrutural, não episódico.
As principais ameaças relatadas são spam, desinformação e deepfakes, que superaram até mesmo o CSAM em prioridade. O relatório projeta 2026 como um período decisivo, com necessidade de ferramentas automatizadas de verificação e maior pressão regulatória. Paralelamente, a própria IFTAS opera com recursos mínimos, correndo risco de descontinuidade.

Laut IFTAS wird Threads nun von über 2/3 der von IFTAS in ihrem CARIAD-Projekt beobachteten, großen Servern geblockt! (insgesamt ~49% aller Mastodon-Nutzer*innen, der Block betrifft also mindestens ~33%) <https://cariad.fedicheck.iftas.org/domain-changes>

imo #IFTAS is trying to do too much.
A healthy fedi federates widely but prevents people from being forced to see what they don't want to. So please help us know which accounts are bothering others and which servers don't try to prevent their users from doing that. Like how email servers share lists of spammers.
But please don't spend time tracking bullshit and hate just cause it was posted on a server running AP or AT and not just a regular web server. Most of our relatives are not a threat.

Afternoon Twters.
#IFTAS do an amazing job of helping to keep the Fediverse a safe and trustworthy space for all, and every penny spent doing this relies on donations. You can read about them and their 'power of one' campaign below.
So, can you spare just £1 a month to join their mission to keep this vital work going? Thank you. 🙂

Jaz edited his post to remove the slander. I have not received an apology or acknowledgement that what he did was inappropriate.
This is the head of #IFTAS, the organization that sets itself up as the source of truth for #TrustAndSafety on the #Fediverse but which has a long track record of working with people known to have been abusive.
Edit: On further review, he also modified the original reply I made to ensure it appeared I was using abusive language, I did not.

Lovely, I didn't name names here but the head of #IFTAS thinks it's cool to slander me in his rampage on the topic of keeping users vulnerable.

@jaz @benpate @earth_walker Wow, the guy in charge of #IFTAS thinks it's cool to slander someone like this? Crazy world. For anyone reading this, I never posted this nor would I ever.

#HolosDiscover now uses #IFTAS denylists for moderation. A script automatically imports both the DNI (Do Not Interact) and AUD (Abandoned & Unmanaged Domains) lists to block dangerous or unmaintained instances from indexing. I am in contact with IFTAS and will continue improving moderation.

Blocked instances are automatically logged on the stats page.

Posts like this are why #IFTAS is not a trustworthy source of fedi moderation. Olifant was the instance admin who's moderators coordinated an attack on a trans leftist, slandering her repeatedly until she left the instance and then continuing to claim it was a 'both sides' situation.
IFTAS was formed soon after, but continued to work with people like Oli, take advisement from abusers and bring on people who defended the attack (including the cc in this message).

#TIL about the #IntegrityInstitute;
"We’re a community-powered think tank transforming how social platforms impact society through public interest research, cross-sector collaboration, and community engagement."
https://www.integrityinstitute.org/about-us
Seems to be a cross between @iftas and the Center for Humane Technology. In that their focus is improving trust & safety on the "social Internet", and like #HumaneTech, many of them are former (or current) platform workers.

The #Fediverse is such a wonderful place, but it's sad to hear it's really under threat, as #moderators face #burnout
"Decentralised platforms pride themselves on being community-led and member-directed. But community care requires people. And right now, those people are overwhelmed.
"If we want the social web to remain open, resilient, and safe for marginalised users, we need to support the humans at its core."
Great work all of you & #IFTAS thank you

A new @iftas report brings insights from fediverse moderators, administrators, and community managers: worsening mod-to-user ratio, spam, burnout, lack of tools.
"Moderators are the backbone of a safer social web – but most are unpaid, under-supported, and under constant strain. If we want a future for decentralised platforms that respects user agency, civil speech, and community autonomy, we need to support the infrastructure that keeps it safe."

Casually mentioning misleading people to ensure donations keep coming in for work she may be stepping down from...
Emelia has been highly problematic for a long time, I'm not surprised she would mislead people. Her role in Fedi Trust & Safety is a big part of why I do not subscribe to #IFTAS after Emelia defended a coordinated attack that deplatformed a trans anarchist. She has also repeatedly slandered one of the major developers in the fediverse, a gay man who already faces a lot of hate.
I am not saying here that it's fair that her fedi work compensates her so poorly. I am saying that she is not qualified for Trust & Safety work due to her past behavior. Bluesky made the right choice, although likely for the wrong reasons. -
Les deux réseaux Bsky/Fédi sont même tellement compatibles/comparables qu'on a un cas d'utilisation type botnet/troll Russe de Masto pour infoxer Bluesky – apparemment via le pont Bridgy 🌉. Voir ce thread : https://kolektiva.social/@A_Mimi/115562603745411511
Attaque levée et suivie par l' #IFTAS https://about.IFTAS.org @iftas
Thread : traduction d'un post de l'IFTAS au sujet de «l'infection» Russe en cours, 300+ comptes masto répartis sur plusieurs instances, dont certaines abandonnées ou pas modérées.
Mitigation en cours par l'IFTAS, qui a identifié les comptes, traque la croissance du botnet, organise la réponse de la Fédé, contacte les admins et fournit une blocklist.

@A_Mimi Heureusement, c'est aussi une superbe occasion de démontrer que le système immunitaire de la Fedi, système de défense "naturel" décentralisé, autogéré, collaboratif, fonctionne parfaitement et avec une efficacité redoutable. On va même pouvoir mesurer sa vitesse de réaction, son impitoyabilité et probablement sa transparence.
Après, faudra certainement faire gaffe, avec la comm' sur le sujet, à pas se faire "retourner" ou "manipuler" dans un sens qui desservirait la Fedi. Ça semble super-pro de ce côté, j'ai pas trop de doutes que l' #IFTAS sera carrée jusqu'au bout.
2/2

That infection of russian bot accounts isn't going away, it seems.
