AllThingsTech.social is looking for a moderator for the instance. We'd like someone that has previous mod experience of some sort, is enthusiastic, active and energetic and willing to help grow the community, the instance, our Discord and more. Someone that is willing to help #ATT be the best it can be!
If you feel you have all of these qualities, then please reach out to myself or @beardedtechguy with any questions or for us to discuss things with you further.
@beardedtechguy and myself are still actively looking for a moderator for our instance AllThingsTech.social
We're looking for someone that has ideas on how to make the instance bigger and better, is very energetic and willing to help grow the instance and the community as much as possible.
We'd prefer to have someone that has had previous moderator experience within the #Fediverse
We are still in the hunt for a moderator for #AllThingsTech.social.
@cliffwade and I are looking for someone who is willing and interested in helping us keep this instance a safe place for our community of users. This person also should be energetic about the Fediverse and look for ways to grow the instance. We are open to ideas.
If this is you, please give us a shout! If you know someone, please share it with them.

Myself and @cliffwade are looking for a moderator for our AllThingsTech.social instance. One that would be willing to help grow our community here on Mastodon and Discord. Someone that is active and energetic, full of ideas, and wants to see the #Fediverse grow.
The IFTAS Moderator Advisory Council plays a pivotal role in assessing needs, shaping project proposals, and guiding IFTAS activities.
If you have moderator experience and can offer two hours a week to contribute valuable feedback, we welcome your interest! A monthly stipend is available.
What resources exist for recruiting, adding, onboarding, and training #moderators in online spaces, especially volunteer #mods? I also welcome resources specific to Mastodon #moderation, but many lessons for moderating other online communities should translate.
Also, while practical guides to moderation itself are important, I would especially value any insight into supporting the human moderators. How can mods work together effectively, and avoid conflict & burnout?
I had this great idea of starting up a Discord server for other admins/moderators that would be interested in having conversations with other admins outside of Mastodon/Fediverse, as I know there are quite a few admins that actually like and use Discord.
While yes, I know there are Matrix servers and other things in use, but it's always good to have other platforms that others like as well.
Anyone curious in something like this? (continued...)
IFTAS is pleased to announce funding to offer personal digital safety services to Fediverse #moderators , community managers, and service administrators.
This service helps reduce harassment by deletion of personal info from data brokers, account hardening, and live incident response and resources.
Today is the deadline for Fediverse #moderators to fill in our #Moderator Needs Assessment - the survey will remain open but today is the cutoff for IFTAS to review the responses and begin work on solutions.
If you administrator, manage, or moderate an ActivityPub service of any size - please take a few minutes to let us know how we can be helpful.

Are you ready for some more useful tips to make the most out of your Mastodon journey? Here we go:
• Consider adding #AltText to images you post. Not only is it good for SEO, it's also considerate to visually impaired users. To add alt text, just click on 'Edit' after attaching an image to your post and write a brief description in the 'Describe for the visually impaired' field.
• Be mindful of the different #cultures on Mastodon. With a vast global community, it's always a good practice to be respectful of different customs, languages, and traditions.
• Get to know your server's #moderators and their policies. They're there to ensure a safe and harmonious experience for all users. In case of any trouble or queries, don't hesitate to reach out to them.
• In Mastodon, you can create #lists to better organize the content you follow. It's a great way to categorize and filter your feed, helping you stay on top of topics you're most interested in.
• Remember, #silencing or #suspending an account or server is always an option if you find content disturbing or inappropriate. You have control over your Fediverse experience.
Together, we're making the Fediverse a better place. Stay tuned for more tips!
For those of you #mastoadmin and #moderators who still follow my personal account please review our updated #Moderation survey - IFTAS is about to begin working on a number of tools and resources for #TrustAndSafety and your input can help guide the funding to the right places
All questions are optional, but the more we know the more we can get to work on what's needed.
MASTODON gets a mention in this story. As does Zuckerberg’s ability to use and alter others ideas successfully. And there is a clear and unmissable warning this will be yet another data collecting tool. Any mods or instances who bring this to Mastodon, really should be blocked, IMO. #mastodon#fediverse#moderators#danger https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66094072
As Big Tech smells blood in the water and starts circling around #Twitter’s floating corpse, I’m perplexed and angry that #Mastodon still gets dismissed as something that is ‘too complicated’ or ‘doesn’t work’ - seen this recently from tech savvy friends and in a Guardian article. Why?? It obviously DOES work, and doesn’t feel very complicated to me. But people are going to be pushed towards #Threads & #BlueSky, perpetuating the problem.
This is not my experience.
I can't speak for all "big instances," but my experience on mastodon.social is that sometimes(!) a post has even been removed before I can post my report, as s.o. ele has already reported it before me. 😀
Other than that, yes, we all need to report posts that are illegal or in breach of our instance's rules.
We might need more #moderators in the future, but as #Reddit has shown, this is feasible.
What to do if you get a reply that upsets you? It depends on how bad, really. If someone sends you #GrumpyToots, you can #mute them, and the mutes have timers as options, so think of that as a time-out. Really helpful for hashtags that flood your feed too. Then from there, if it really is an awful reply, block them. If it’s truly heinous, reporting to your admin is a possibility. I’d leave that as a nuclear option, as admins are busy enough holding the Fediverse together. +
"If it’s truly heinous, reporting to your admin is a possibility. I’d leave that as a nuclear option, as admins are busy enough holding the Fediverse together. +"
I should treat #admins not as faceless #moderators but as friendly hosts, and not mess up their place! The #ServerRules are obviously essential, but it's easy to cause problems even if I stay inside the rules.
Blocking trolls works well, but in order to protect my followers I need the admins' involvement. So that adds work for a couple of busy people, which isn't kind.
