Registering helps us demonstrate need in our efforts to obtain funding for this expensive service - currently costing us ~$5,000 / month. (Donations are helpful too!) #MastoAdmin #FediAdmin

There are no walls on a spider’s web. I want a web where everyone can participate, where everyone is safe from abuse and harm, where civil society can flourish, where people can meet, learn, share, live, love, laugh. Our founding grants have delivered a “do not interact" list, the CARIAD denylist, FediCheck, a moderator library, prototype of an opt-in CSAM detection and reporting service, the IFTAS Connect community, and more. @Fediverse Moderation Discussion @npub1hx2m...qydj #nonprofit #community #support

📢 We have 97 responses to our 2024 #Moderator Survey, let's get to 100 today! The survey will ask about your experience moderating or administering a federated community, and what resources and services you want us to focus on in the coming year. We spend money so you don't have to. If you don't tell us what to do with the funds we raise, we might not get to the thing that would help you the most. All qs optional. All admins and mods welcome!
