A bit of an annoying trend I’ve started to notice here on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse lately is people posting pictures of text with content I’m not really interested in to see or read. But due to it being a picture and not parsable text, content filters don’t apply. Why would one deliberately go through this trouble, reducing (self) #moderation effectiveness and waste a bunch of extra bytes in the process?

Probably spend too much time doing it but I report so much shit that shouldn't be on #tumblr, I'm #anticensorship to the bone but the underage exploitation material needs to be policed better by the admins or start paying me money and give me some admin privs to clean it up and the other problem is the self-replicating BOTS posting this filth and code not keeping upto booting the BOTS and original #user responsible.

How did he get into the private section for my community moderators?

Here's a treasury of good ideas and resources we uncovered during a two-hour session "Moderating Online Panels", held December 16, 2020.

I found these rules in a public group chat.

Kirby's Rules of Moderation:

1. Stay Neutral - Moderators should act fairly and avoid personal bias.

2. Transparency Matters - Decisions should be clear and explainable.

3. Rules Before Power - Enforce guidelines, not personal opinions.

4. Context Is Key - Consider intent before taking action.

5. Encourage Discussion - Promote healthy conversations, not silencing.

@Wikimedia_Fr sert principalement à mettre en relations les gens. Depuis quelques temps, l'asso organise des réunions pour les personnes qui s'occupent de la #modération des wikis : patrouilleurs et administrateurs. L'occasion de leur faire rencontrer des spécialistes : l'avocat de l'asso, les forces de l'ordre de #Pharos, le tiers de confiance Point de Contact. #wikipedia #wikimedia

Große Freude, die:
Am wichtigen #Workshop nicht teilnehmen können, sich vorher Mühe geben, der Moderatorin den eigenen Input gut zu erklären und hinterher eigentlich alle Punkte wortwörtlich in den Ergebnissen wiederfinden.
I like!

I just had a post reported by "mastodon.online"

Which is odd because that is a domain, not a user, and there is nothing wrong with the post at all.

What is going on? Is this some new kind of spam?

@aubreyjones, I'm obviously going to dismiss this but can anyone tell me why there isn't a user who made this report? Why is it just the domain? It feels very OFF.

How can this happen? Sometimes, accounts want to follow me that are completely empty, no posts, no communication (even not on their instance). But they have crazily many followers in a very short time. A new scam? Superfamous people under idiotic aliases? 22 K followers - most of them with 0 followers ! for a guy with an idiotic alias and a fake profile photo.
