Yo!

I'm looking for my next thing.

I'm a backend dev (primarily PHP with 15+ years professional experience), conference speaker, and a bit of a nerd. I've worked in #Fintech, #CyberSecurity with SANS Institute, and most recently #TrustAndSafety and #Authenticity with Bumble at scale.

I'm interested in something remote, I'm UK based. Engineering or engineering-coordination type jobs!

If you know of anything, hit me up!

I shared with some folks at the Ubuntu Summit last week, but it’s official today: I’ve joined ROOST as OSS Community Manager!

I’m stoked to dive into building and supporting an active and sustainable contributor community around open source trust and safety tools, as well as helping improve the discourse and understanding of open source in the trust and safety world.

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.
