If you work on an Internet-connected platform—regardless of size—what’s your trust & safety story? What tools handle detection of harms, investigation of patterns, review of violations, and enforcement of policy?
Every connected platform needs these tools, and if you care about the trust & safety of your users—the humans you serve—then you’re building some sort of solution. So why are we *all* reinventing in isolation?
This is what we’re tackling at https://roost.tools.
If you’re attending FOSDEM next weekend, we’ll be there! We’re giving a talk about bringing open source to trust and safety on Sunday:

We don’t have a stand this year, but you can probably find ROOSTers hanging around our Matrix, ATproto, and fediverse friends as well. Or message me to find out where we’re at. 👀
If you are into the intersection of open source and safety policy, then we’d also love for you to join a brunch we’re co-hosting with the Christchurch Call Foundation:
We’ll be discussing how open source can empower online service providers to combat terrorism and violent extremism while upholding the principles of a free, open, and secure internet.
It’s a small event with limited space, so register at the link if that sounds like your jam!
