A good report as always, and agreed about the importance of @nodebb's release.

With @pixelfed , it's important to highlight that the moderation story is a disaster waiting to happen. @dansup himself has said that he still needs to implement key functionality like moderation roles and a dashboard, and that he doesn't have a moderation team in place. Others have pointed out multiple unfixed bugs related to reporting.

A high-profile Pixelfed fiasco (or worse, blatantly illegal content) could not only destroy the reputation of Pixelfed, but the sharpnel could have an impact on fedi as a whole -- especially at a time when regulators in the UK are clarifying enforcement of the Online Safety Act, and anti-LGBTQIA2S+ fascist oligarch who run social networks that compete with fedi are in power in the US.

It would be great if Dan changes his stance -- turning off open registration on pixelfed.social until he has the moderation situation under control would be an easy first step that could make a big difference.

And also, we really need to think about what we can collectively do to limit the damage to fedi as a whole.

thanks!

yeah totally agreed with you. Its quite disheartening to see fedi promote itself as a network with better governance and be completely uncritical about the governance on their own platforms

ill try to get a confirmation from dansup on mod team after growth, that is very concerning

@regendans @laurenshof @thenexusofprivacy I would love to see #vernissage grow, as it points more in the direction #flickr or #500px and can help out with an invite for https://vernissage.photos.
