After reporting on the CSAM attacks at #Lemmy a few weeks, new tools are being developed to help admins deal with this. One example is scanning images with generative AI, that can run locally on an admin's GPU, without uploading images anywhere.
About half of the Fediverse addresses typed by FediForum attendees into the session notes are missing the leading "@".
People typed in their very own Fediverse handles. And because they came to FediForum, it's very likely they are very well acquainted with the right syntax.
Pretty strong circumstantial evidence that most people won't be able to distinguish Fediverse handles from e-mail addresses.
I have long believed that they should be the same.
We're holding a breakout session with @fediversereport at #Fediforum today at 11:15am PDT in Breakout Room C! We'll be talking about the nature of producing news for the #fediverse, and the challenges that have come with our efforts.
Whew! Already at 2400 words written about Fediverse Moderation Tooling, and the potential future directions we can take. This is quite the undertaking!
Yes, most of my time over the past few weeks has been spent writing literature and proposals on moderation tooling, which honestly is an under-appreciated task essentially to improving the fediverse.
I'll also be doing up some slides with a summary of my thoughts for @fediforum.
(If someone wants to create a powerful document editing & collaboration tool for documents in rich text, by all means do, but until that works well, I'll continue using Google Docs, kthnxbye)
It's less than 24 hours to the start of #FediForum
In about an hour, we'll host a little pre-event "Meet and Greet" where attendees can casually stroll in, check out the venue (QiQo) and make sure their audio and video is working, so we can have a smooth start tomorrow.
Registration is still open, join us to discuss the most important and urgent, any many other topics in the #Fediverse? https://fediforum.org
