When we asked the moderator community what resources they’d like IFTAS to work on, one of the most requested items was a way to convene and collaborate with fellow moderators around the world.

We heard requests for things like sharing lessons learned, tips and tricks, technical help with moderation tools, standard terminology, and translation of non-native language content.

Our favourite quote from the Moderator Needs Assessment… “together we are stronger”.

We couldn’t agree more.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of IFTAS Connect, a new community of practice designed specifically for Fediverse moderators. IFTAS Connect aims to provide moderators, community managers and anyone engaged in creating a safer Internet with a wealth of tools, resources, and a supportive network to help them connect, collaborate, and navigate the complexities of federated content moderation. (Read the Press Release here.)

We’ve worked with a broad array of moderators and advisors to kick-start the available resources – and we hope many more will join and contribute their experience.

A DDOS against the Internet Archive has commenced again, timed for maximum pain for the California staff to deal with. (I don't sleep, but I also can't do anything on the infrastructure here.)

So, we're down until people wake up to deal with the constant DOOS against us because... reasons

My apologies to the Slashdotted admin.

"Please don't share our content because of server load" sounds an awful lot like an admin/config problem.

Also sounds a lot like a plea for a centralized link preview farm.

Oh no the server is Melton, @lisamelton

#Mastodon #LinkPreview #LoadSpike

Anyone venturing into this solution space?

It was such an honor and pleasure to host @Gargron @mellifluousbox and @inganomads at the #Fastly @devs office! #Mastodon, and the #fediverse / #SocialWeb, represent a paradigm shift for the way people convene online - we couldn’t be more proud to support them & this community!

It was glorious spending IRL time with old & new friends from #OpenSource / #Kubernetes / #Rust #RustLang / #Mastodon communities. I’m back in #NYC now!

I’m still processing everything, but I noticed some commonalities in the kinds of challenges #contributors are facing during this 2024 lonely burnout epoch (I’m not the only one who feels it right?)And I wonder if more #maintainers are facing them too.

So what are the toughest #community/ communications/ outreach challenges you’re tackling?

Just looked down at the keyboard while putting the finishing touches on my talk about trust in the #OpenSource/ #RustLang #Community for #RustNation and ...

Paris has coffee vending machines and art exhibits in the metro and that’s why I live on the Parisian subway now

A bright green vending machine sets against a curved wall of white SUBWAY stone. The vending machines has Lavazza, Torino, Italy, 1895 on it. There is a coffee bean dispenser, visible through a glass window on one side and a touchscreen to order off a menu.

I had a blast chatting with @w8emv about our complementary programs and what we've learned about #OSS sustainability at the #Equinix booth here at #KubeCon. If you're an #OpenSource project or #maintainer who needs help hosting or scaling your project, hit us up:
✨@EquinixMetal : https://deploy.equinix.com/open-source/
✨@devs: https://www.fastly.com/fast-forward
And stay tuned for the recording! And we 💖 you!!

#Debian has been moving more towards the deb.debian.org mirror which is provided by a single CDN company, #Fastly. It works well, but also feeds an enormous amount of #metadata to a single company, and it can be used to track computers and maybe even people. And the privacy policy in effect is unclear. Fastly says the #privacy policy of the "subscriber" applies, but the privacy policy for deb.debian.org is not listed anywhere I could find. Anyone have any insight here?
