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.

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 “warrants” 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)."

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."
