**Stanford researchers find #Mastodon has a massive child abuse material problem**

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/24/23806093/mastodon-csam-study-decentralized-network

The article claims masto's #decentralized nature makes it harder to moderate content than big centralized for-profit corps like Meta or X.

I'd like to defend the #fediverse here, but honestly I don't see how decentralization helps us find and root out harmful material. At some point, it's just individual admins' time and resources vs. infinite determined evildoers.

How do we win?

Hey everyone,

Wow, what a wild ride, huh? From those first brainstorming sessions that sparked Calckey, to the epic journey that brings us here today, rebranding as Firefish - I've gotta say, I'm seriously blown away.

One year ago, Calckey was just my side project, after being a Misskey contributor for a while. But when y'all jumped on board, you made it so much more. You transformed it from my dream to our reality.

Firefish isn't just a cool name. It's everything we've been working towards. It's late nights, strong coffee, wild ideas, laughs, and even the occasional tears. It's our little space on the web where we're constantly pushing for the next big thing, and always looking out for one another.

So here we are, at the start of something new. Firefish is more than just a rebrand - it's a celebration. A celebration of you, me, and us. It's a tribute to the amazing community we've built together. Firefish is all of YOU.

We put together video that I feel really gets to the heart of Firefish. We wanted to show you guys what this whole journey has meant to us, and how excited we are to be taking this next step together.

Before I go, I just want to say a big, massive, thank you. Thank you to all the patrons who supported this. Thank you to
@blackspike for the absolutely stunning logo. Thank you @angelolz for the beautiful trailer. Thank you to our development team who's made some amazing strides. And thank you all for believing in this wild idea, thank you for your support, and thank you for being part of the coolest community on the web. You guys are the real backbone of all this.

Here's to the next chapter of our journey as Firefish. Exciting times ahead, and I can't wait to see where we go from here!

Posts will shortly follow with release notes, roadmaps, technical details, migration plans. I'll keep this thread updated.

Much love,
Kainoa

A fun, new, open way to experience social media

10 years ago today, March: Book One debuted at SDCC. I only took a couple of photos from the entire day’s events. And only by listening to people who’d already read the book while in the signing line did I begin to understand the potential scope of these books’ impact. It’s been a wild journey, and we remain awestruck by the larger role this work has served since. 💐
