I brought this up to the Mastodon team (no response yet), but I wonder if the solution, at least a temporary one, to the problem where people get harassed with followers-only posts that @ mention them, thus hiding these posts from public view and moderators, and allowing the abuser's followers to pile on, could be as simple as allowing to filter out such notifications.

I don't pick fights between open protocols. I do have my preferences, but it's ridiculous to war between open factions when the dragon we're all trying to slay is proprietary, centralized, extractive, monopolistic tech.

So I will not name names.

But I do find it alarming when someone working on an open protocol says they don't know what Trust & Safety is.

And I'm really proud of the investment and progress we're making in T&S at @matrix.

Anyone out there who would want to chat about moderation and moderation tools? I am especially interested in how larger instances currently handle reports. Are there external tools used? How is the work organized? What safeguards are in place for the folks doing the work? I know that I don't know every dogwhistle out there, how do folks handle reports where they don't quite understand?

Very happy to read any materials sent over.

Disinfo campaigns, coordinated abuse, spam - they don’t stop at one instance. In IFTAS Connect, moderators and community managers share alerts across the network.

Early warning means stronger resilience. Shared knowledge means less stress.
