#MastoAdmin #MastoMods community should be on the alert for hijacked accounts. We have observed some signals of dormant accounts suddenly being used in the past two or three weeks.

Who moderates the social web?
In the second post of our 2025 report series, we look at the people behind the work, their roles, experience, and how many are burning out.
Now with three years of data, we’re also looking at trends.

Because so many people here don't understand what #censorship and #FreeSpeech really are:
Free speech is a right granted by a state. Censorship is if the state takes that right. There are limits to free speech like no hate speech and no jelling fire in a crowded room where there is no fire.
Technically this only concerns the state.
I'd argue that big monopolies, oligopolies and walled gardens can also be accused of censorship. However if they censor nazis even if no law demands them to, then in that case censorship is a good thing. But we all know its usually the opposite.
In the Fediverse there can't be censorship. You have the right to be on the Fediverse. You have the right to choose a server that moderates in a way you agree with. You have the right to change your mind and switch servers.
You do not have the right to be on a specific server. On the contrary. A server provider has the right to decline your application or to delete your account if you don't follow the server's rules.
If you mistake strict moderation that protects marginalized people on a small federated instance maintained and moderated by a small team of people trying to survive capitalism and maintain the instance with no compensation in their spare time for censorship, then you are wrong on climatejustice.social and you are free to leave.

@iftas, an organization that's been helping make the fediverse a safer place by supporting admins, moderators and community managers, is asking for our support.
"[...] despite our best efforts to secure sustainable funding, IFTAS is now facing a critical financial shortfall. Without immediate support, we will be forced to severely curtail our activities in the next 60 days."

EDIT: As per a reply, the team is mainly looking for pledges from large donors. Best way you can help as an individual is to spread the word!

Leute, wenn euch die Regeln eurer Instanz egal sind, dann müsst ihr euch nicht wundern, wenn ihr verwarnt oder gesperrt werdet 🙄🤷

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.

We are wrapping up the annual Moderator Needs Assessment and will be posting the findings soon, stay tuned!
What do you think the top 5 will be?

IFTAS is happy to announce the public availability of our DSA Guide for Decentralized Services – a practical guide for small and micro services that are subject to the EU’s Digital Services Act.
If your server has member accounts in the EU, or is publicly viewable in the EU, your service is most likely impacted by this regulation, even if you are not based or hosted in the EU.
Learn more about it here: https://about.iftas.org/2024/04/09/dsa-guide-for-the-fediverse/ .

Here’s one thing we’re working on at the moment:
Lillian and Jon have been conducting a survey of moderators to help guide the production of a number of templates for moderation teams, including a moderator agreement and code of conduct.
Longer-term this will become a handbook for hands-on moderator activities.

Reminder that we’re running a random draw to win one of fifty $20 gift cards - all you need to do is complete the admins and moderators needs assessment survey which you can do here: https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/kbCuHVByN8EoUPiESliFzU8T8Y+PYVgszLKYeiyCT9k/
Only non-anonymous responses will be entered into the draw.

📢 If you're an admin, mod, or community manager on any Fediverse instance of any size, the 2024 Fediverse survey is still open!
This is the best way to direct the work of all the people creating tools and resources at IFTAS.
All questions optional. Use this link:

The Fediverse has 30,000 moderators. Twitter has fewer than 2,000. Meta has 15,000.
We have twice as many content reviewers than Meta.
Almost none are full time, very few are paid, and there is little in the way of central guidance or tooling to help any of them with their work. Some are working on their individual instance and see only a fraction of the network, but what if we could find a way to join forces, share the load, and spread the love?
-
📢 We’re in the middle of conducting our annual needs assessment where we ask Fediverse admins and moderators what they need to make their lives easier.
Last year over 130 responses led to a wide range of resources and activities, and we need your collective input to guide us going forward.
We want to hear from everyone involved in moderating content on federated platforms of all shapes and sizes.
