Bluesky reveals 2026 roadmap a...
🤦🏼♀️ Attending a zoom session with 4 panellists, one of whom is the moderator.
Unfortunately the moderator is stepping into the other hosts' spaces to tell their own story.
Please don't do this.
If you are moderating a meeting/panel/webinar/chat, don't keep taking it back to you, even if it seems that your story is relevant. Let the other panellists speak about their areas of expertise.
The 2025 #roadmap for the #ActivityPub #WordPress #plugin aims to finalise the full ActivityPub experience for WordPress:
🧩 Seamless #publishing, #following, #reading, #interacting, and #moderating within the Fediverse.
🏆 Key areas of focus include implementing following, improving actor modelling, enhancing moderation tools, developing a Reader experience, and exploring Direct Messages and a Client-to-Server API.

Finally, someone pointed out to me another snag in encryption recently. Encryption doesn't just hide the post from malicious actors, it can also hide it from the server itself: #staff already has difficulty #moderating direct messages, as they require reporting to work, and this adds another layer. Anything that can't be decrypted by the server software would even bypass locally based automation: we couldn't even set up a bot to watch for people saying the N word in the DM system, which is the number one way it's abused.
I don't necessarily think staff should be reading people's private messages without permission, it's definitely not an ability I would want to see implemented, but I worry that encryption could preclude us from implementing more sophisticated #moderation tools. Without it, the best we could do is have some sort of javascript-based system in the viewer itself recommending the user report a post when it detects things.
Maybe we should, but it needs to be considered.
