Looks like there are impersonation attacks happening on Bluesky and the moderation team banned some real accounts rather than the fake ones?! Lots of drama with an apparent extortion scheme involving famous writers and entrepreneurs. tedium.co/2024/12/17/bluesky-i

The 2024 IFTAS Needs Assessment Report is Here!

We are pleased to to announce the release of the 2024 Fediverse Trust & Safety Needs Assessment Report. This annual report is a cornerstone of our mission to support the decentralised social web with evidence-based research and actionable recommendations for moderators, community managers, and administrators.

This year’s report reflects the insights of 183 services spanning platforms like Mastodon, Lemmy, and Peertube, collectively hosting over 4.3 million accounts. This year we also heard from volunteer independent moderators on Bluesky. By analysing the experiences and feedback of these moderators and admins across the Fediverse, the report highlights the challenges and opportunities within this rapidly evolving ecosystem.

We will follow up with an analysis of what we’ve seen change since last year’s report, as well as key resources we think can help solve some of the needs identified.

Key Findings
  • Resource gaps – only 16% of communities have 24-hour moderator coverage, and nearly half of moderator teams lack formal guidance. That said, we see roughly one moderator for every 1,200 active accounts.
  • Top ranked priorities – moderators need tools for CSAM detection, spam prevention, and legal guidance for compliance with regulations like GDPR.
  • Burnout is a persistent issue – one in five moderators report experiencing trauma or burnout this year, underlining the need for wellness and resilience resources.
  • Financial struggles – most communities operate on donations, and overall our survey participants are not generating enough money to cover costs. Very few moderators are receiving any compensation for their labour.
IFTAS Initiatives

Informed by last year’s findings, IFTAS has developed several solutions and programs, including a Fediverse CSAM scanner, a comprehensive Moderator Handbook (coming soon), and the creation of FediCheck for automated denylist management. Moving forward, we aim to expand resources for moderator wellness, launch our CSAM scanner for broader use (please register your interest), improve tooling for non-consensual image detection, and introduce new community guidelines templates.

We encourage everyone in the Fediverse community to read the full report for a deeper understanding of the challenges facing decentralised moderation and the innovative solutions underway.

I'm disabling Bridgy Fed on this account (at least for now) -- if you're at risk of harassment, consider doing the same

Harassment has increased significantly on Bluesky over the last week (which tends to be what happens when a site's moderators find an excuse not to take actionn against a coordinated anti-trans harassment campaign, but that's another story). Bluesky blocklists provide some protection, but unfortunately there's no way for fedi accounts to subscribe to Bluesky blocklists or labelers. So there's basially no protection for bridged accounts.

I haven't yet hard any reports of harassment getting directed at bridged accounts ... but then again if somebody on Bluesky who hasn't opted in to Bridgy fed is spewing hate speech in bridged posts replies, we wouldn't necessarily know about it. So, better safe than sorry.

If you're currently bridging to Bluesky consider doing the same! You can disable Bridgy Fed by blocking @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy -- here's the FAQ fed.brid.gy/docs#opt-out

Here's the bug I just filed in the Bridgy Fed Github. github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/

Bridgy Fed's development is very resource constrained right now; as far as I know it's still just @snarfed.org working on it part-time, and they've had their hands full just keeping up with the increased load. So, not sure how quickly they''ll be able to respond.

EDIT updated with the FAQ on how to opt-out, as well as the correct instructions.

Is Bluesky 'obeying in advance'?

The Jesse Singal controversy took an interesting turn this weekend. Two articles one in Advocate (advocate.com/business/bluesky-) and another in TechCrunch (techcrunch.com/2024/12/13/blue) suggest the refusal to ban the anti-trans podcaster may be due to fear of regulatory action.

"...this decision could put the social media company at risk with the FCC since Brendan Carr, Trump’s pick... plans to go after tech companies he thinks are censoring right-wing voices." πŸ‘€
