#MastoAdmin #MastoMods community should be on the alert for hijacked accounts. We have observed some signals of dormant accounts suddenly being used in the past two or three weeks.

Falaichteneondystopia.world is an instance that values freedom of expression and equity above all else, something that I thought a devout christian like yourself would have valued. After all, Jesus too was prosecuted for his expression. We have fair and equitable guidelines for our users and moderators, ensuring that any reports filed are compared against our own rules and that of the instance the report originated from. We even investigate reports on staff independently to ensure they are peer reviewed and free from bias. We go above and beyond what most do to ensure that we maintain a comfortable and inclusive environment by carefully balancing free expression with fairness and equity. Choosing instead to deal with people on a case-by-case basis rather than blanket banning entire instances.
I don't take slander of our instance lightly, and wanted to leave you with a scripture in hope that you may reflect on your decision.
Matthew 7:1-5 “*Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.*"

Which servers need moderators? #askfedi #moderation #fedimods #mastomods I want to know where people can volunteer their time to help reduce the burden.
Who moderates the social web?
In the second post of our 2025 report series, we look at the people behind the work, their roles, experience, and how many are burning out.
Now with three years of data, we’re also looking at trends.

The 2025 Social Web Trust & Safety Needs Assessment Report is now available.
Volunteer moderators are burning out. Spam is rising. Legal threats are growing.
The 2025 Report reveals where things stand, and what must change.

PaulaToThePeople 😷Because so many people here don't understand what #censorship and #FreeSpeech really are:
Free speech is a right granted by a state. Censorship is if the state takes that right. There are limits to free speech like no hate speech and no jelling fire in a crowded room where there is no fire.
Technically this only concerns the state.
I'd argue that big monopolies, oligopolies and walled gardens can also be accused of censorship. However if they censor nazis even if no law demands them to, then in that case censorship is a good thing. But we all know its usually the opposite.
In the Fediverse there can't be censorship. You have the right to be on the Fediverse. You have the right to choose a server that moderates in a way you agree with. You have the right to change your mind and switch servers.
You do not have the right to be on a specific server. On the contrary. A server provider has the right to decline your application or to delete your account if you don't follow the server's rules.
If you mistake strict moderation that protects marginalized people on a small federated instance maintained and moderated by a small team of people trying to survive capitalism and maintain the instance with no compensation in their spare time for censorship, then you are wrong on climatejustice.social and you are free to leave.
If you moderate, manage, or support online communities, IFTAS Connect is here for you.

Being a moderator can be frustrating, isolating, even traumatic.
