#TIL about the #IntegrityInstitute;

"We’re a community-powered think tank transforming how social platforms impact society through public interest research, cross-sector collaboration, and community engagement."

https://www.integrityinstitute.org/about-us

Seems to be a cross between @iftas and the Center for Humane Technology. In that their focus is improving trust & safety on the "social Internet", and like #HumaneTech, many of them are former (or current) platform workers.

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

'One Battle' and 'Sinners' land best international film nods, but Brendan Canty's Cork-set 'Christy' is the film to beat at the 2026 IFTAs with 14 nominations.

A new @iftas report brings insights from fediverse moderators, administrators, and community managers: worsening mod-to-user ratio, spam, burnout, lack of tools.

"Moderators are the backbone of a safer social web – but most are unpaid, under-supported, and under constant strain. If we want a future for decentralised platforms that respects user agency, civil speech, and community autonomy, we need to support the infrastructure that keeps it safe."

Casually mentioning misleading people to ensure donations keep coming in for work she may be stepping down from...

Emelia has been highly problematic for a long time, I'm not surprised she would mislead people. Her role in Fedi Trust & Safety is a big part of why I do not subscribe to
#IFTAS after Emelia defended a coordinated attack that deplatformed a trans anarchist. She has also repeatedly slandered one of the major developers in the fediverse, a gay man who already faces a lot of hate.

I am not saying here that it's fair that her fedi work compensates her so poorly. I am saying that she is not qualified for Trust & Safety work due to her past behavior. Bluesky made the right choice, although likely for the wrong reasons.
