Hey #forkiverse people, and everyone else who has joined us recently! You might be just learning about the thing that makes fediverse special, that it's made up of many communities spread across many servers running different platforms. Now, I won't bore anyone with how all that works, but here are two cool ways to visualize this. - lets you see which servers you are connected to (I made this one!) - helps you understand the shared responsibility of fediverse moderators Hope you'll enjoy! #fediverse #data #dataviz image
With the federal government threatening to send ICE "door to door", here's a reminder: "If an officer knocks on your door: Do not open the door. Teach your children not to open the door. Officers must have a warrant signed by a judge to enter your home. ICE β€œwarrants” are not signed by judges; they are ICE forms signed by ICE officers and they do not grant authority to enter a home without consent of the occupant(s)." https://www.commondreams.org/news/vance-ice-door-to-door #USPol #immigration #immigrants #ICE #KnowYourRights
A new @IFTAS report brings insights from fediverse moderators, administrators, and community managers: worsening mod-to-user ratio, spam, burnout, lack of tools. "Moderators are the backbone of a safer social web – but most are unpaid, under-supported, and under constant strain. If we want a future for decentralised platforms that respects user agency, civil speech, and community autonomy, we need to support the infrastructure that keeps it safe." #fediverse #FediAdmin #MastoAdmin #SocialMedia #IFTAS
Mother of Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis today: "Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being." https://www.startribune.com/she-was-an-amazing-human-being-mother-identifies-woman-shot-killed-by-ice-agent/601559922 via #news #USNews #ICE #minneapolis
