#moderators

Hey @FediTips@social.growyourown.services@neondystopia.world, I've been thinking lately about drawing up some documentation for folk to use on the Fediverse. @xaetacore@neondystopia.world and I have noticed lately that there is a rather toxic culture surrounding #fediblock and have wanted to write some guides to help the users on instances curate their own experience on the Fediverse rather than relying solely on the moderation of their instance to do so. We hope to supplement and improve existing moderation efforts rather than replace them entirely. It is our hope that by prompting a shift in the responsibility of curating content from instances to their users. Instance operators and their moderation won't feel compelled to act as an arbiter of philosophy by selecting which content may and may not be seen beyond the scope of generally agreed upon illegal or egregious content. Instead, offering more user agency by providing the tooling, framework and guidance through which they can curtail undesirable content without sorting to suspending entire instances at the expense of the users on there that have done nothing wrong. Would you be interested in promoting or boosting such efforts? #FediAdmin, #MastoAdmin, #ServerAdmin, #Moderation, #Moderation, #Moderators, #FediMods, #MastoMods, #TrustAndSafety, #SocialMedia, #FediMeta, #Fedi, #Federation, #Fediverse, #Fediblock, #Sociology, #Blocklist.

Every community operates differently, whether you're running a single-user instance, an app, or a large community hub. Over 280 nodes are represented so far in our annual operations survey, but we want to make sure _your_ unique trust and safety challenges are included before we wrap up this extended week. Help us get you the resources and tools you actually need. This survey is for #FediAdmin #MastoAdmin #Moderators - don't miss your chance! ➡️ https://tally.so/r/81MW6k Boost for visibility!

RE: https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/116563099730866203 Just a reminder that if you're an admin or a moderator, it should be your responsibility to step in when someone is harassing a member of your community and claiming to be enforcing rules that don't apply to them. #fediverse #FediAdmins #MastoAdmins #moderators

Something I believe may be warrant discussion is how each instance is beholden to the rules of another by virtue of federation. Something that has given way to vibes-based reporting which our administrator has been unable to act on. This has, unfortunately, resulted in the slander of our instance. Branded as allegedly being "anti-moderation" and "bigoted" for choosing not to punish their users over frivolous reports or engage in the fediblock of the more fringe or controversial instances on here ourselves. So Fedizens, what are your thoughts?
