  1. Denver Post: One Reddit user ousted, and a ‘reign’ over a Louisville online community ends. “In the Louisville subreddit, some users said the former moderator had used the group in an attempt to push a political message, with one saying they are ‘a libertarian who didn’t even live in Louisville and had taken over several small town subs.'”

  6. Big compliments to the #moderators of mastodon.online and mastodon.social!
    I just #reported a very cheesy account, completely AI generated (also the comments). They wanted to collect people's #DNA (and you had to pay 20 something $ for it!). it was intended to give the impression being something official from the EU. At best, it was a scam; at worst, extremely dangerous.

    It took only minutes and the account was pulverised. 😊 This service you don't get on big platforms!

  11. X-Twitter I was surprised however and simply cannot understand, besides the privacy-issue, why so many people on the Fediverse have an issue with it. There's level-headed, centre discourse and posts from business leaders, something definitely missing in the Fediverse; the moderators do not appear to interfere with people defending themselves against sexism and misandry - which is a huge problem with the often biased moderators in the Fediverse.

    Last week I had to babysit the social media accounts from my employer.

    Instagram and Facebook are an absolute nightmare and mindf*ck and I don't envy our social media manager.

    Dear #fediverse,

    We have created this account to support in sharing #mutualaid requests from #Palestine.

    The team has unfortunately not been able to keep up with the needs of the times - so we are looking for:

    #moderators , #admins or #volunteers to help manage this account

    we are looking for someone who can:
    - accept new followers and reshare mutual aid requests from #Gaza and #WestBank

    we dont have a roadmap for what this account could look like, but you are free to think about this account and suggest ways in which we can further help together

    this account was created after a similar one was #blocked and removed off of instagram, but we cant manage it alone anymore, since the original team has no capacity to manage this account

    we mostly wanted to share aid iniciatives but since many people from Gaza are joining #mastodon it would be great that this account can support at least in sharing #chuffed and other links to aid requests from Gaza

    - please feel free to comment in this post or send us a DM if you believe you would be up to the task of managing this account together with other #volunteers.

    we are sorry if this is not enough, or if it's not the ideal way to help Gaza, but it's what we have been able to do so far.

    thank you,

    #FreePalestine from the genocidal zionist occupation!

    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

    Speaking on behalf of what I can pretty much assume is all #moderators on Mainstream Fedi...

    If you see someone posting someone else's nudes, and there is clear non-consent, please use the report button and give us anh evidence you have.

    Never assume we don't have the time, as it is literally moderation's job to look through and respond to posts which may violate rules. TBH, stopping stuff like revenge porn is one of our higher priorities, and while I haven't seen anyone do that particular offense here, if someone did, it would not be the first time I have sent a dump of all our information on someone to the police. (Note that we only do that for serious crimes like selling CSAM stolen data, and revenge porn is illegal in a lot of jurisdictions)

    That said, TechHub is one of a few servers where posting porn in general is not allowed (we're literally "Safe to look at in the Office"), so I don't think we'd even need evidence to ban.

    Either way, when in doubt, just report.
