Suicide attempts, sackings and a vow of silence: #Meta’s new #moderators face worst conditions yet - https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025-04-27/suicide-attempts-sackings-and-a-vow-of-silence-metas-new-moderators-face-worst-conditions-yet "Hit by workers’ rights lawsuits in Kenya, the tech giant has moved its outsourcing to a top-secret new site – where life is grimmer still"

@AusSocialMods and some of the other instance mods can be inhumanly efficient sometimes. I woke up to see phone notifications informing me I had more follows from different fediverse chick bots but when I opened the app they were nowhere to be seen. Obviously someone had reported them while I was asleep and they were already dealt with by the time I looked. Thank you.

@staff The above post: important for all who experience #spam #scam #bot attacks or #Nicole #fedichick and #admin #moderators #moderation of #Mastodon #instances #servers

@cxberger so basically that #chatroom has no / insufficient #moderators then?

• I guess this means it's kinda self-inflicted then??

#Bluesky Deletes #AI Protest Video of #Trump Sucking Musk's Toes, Calls It 'Non-Consensual #Explicit Material'

Update: After this article was published, Bluesky restored Kabas' post and told 404 Media the following: "This was a case of our #moderators applying the policy for non-consensual AI content strictly. After re-evaluating the #newsworthy context, the #moderation team is reinstating those posts."

Burnout is a persistent issue with one in five moderators report experiencing trauma or burnout this year, underlining the need for wellness and resilience resources.

Here’s one thing we’re working on at the moment:

Lillian and Jon have been conducting a survey of moderators to help guide the production of a number of templates for moderation teams, including a moderator agreement and code of conduct.

Longer-term this will become a handbook for hands-on moderator activities.

Who wants a NATIONAL #AbortionBan

Who opposes #rape / #incest exceptions
