The IFTAS First 50 is now the IFTAS First 73 🎉

Thanks to my inability to keep the page updated as fast as the support is rolling in, the IFTAS First 50 page will include everyone who donated through midnight -12 UTC

Thank you for the support! It is simply breathtaking to be sitting here plugging away at FediCheck and Connect and a bunch of other todo's while these emails pour in.

I'm gobsmacked.

Thank you everyone for you #GivingTuesday support 💙

🌏 🌍 🌎 Our #moderator community is beginning the work of translating shared resources in to a number of languages to support volunteers around the world.

We'd love your help!

[#]Deutsch and #한국어 are top asks, but we'd be grateful for any and all contributions on our crowd-sourced translation project: https://crowdin.com/project/dtsp

Add a translation, proof-read what's been added, request more languages - all input welcome!

📢 As of today we have scanned over 20,000 images and videos to monitor and mitigate potential CSAM.

If you'd like to be on the list as we open up to more servers, please register your interest using this link (don't click the preview card, it won't work...)

https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/SXiobzcxTRrpVsWMJDh+h+loLkAmsTQ-8-egNm+ihlo/

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!)

Of the 87 servers we saw compromised in the recent #SpamWave - 68 have modified registration settings and deleted the accounts, 15 remain open, 4 are now offline.

Special thanks to @noahimesaka1873 @austin @gunchleoc and all the IFTAS Connect community members that helped gather info, communicate with the impacted servers, and keep our data up to the minute.

Today? New botnet creating accounts on your servers. See https://mastodon.iftas.org/@sw_isac/113283701270369397 - Connect members can track https://connect.iftas.org/forums/discussion/new-botnet-creating-accounts-on-multiple-servers/

📢 Our 2024 #FediAdmin and #Moderator survey is open all year, but if you want your feedback included in our next project planning, you’ve got until the end of this week!

All questions are optional - tell us how we can help so we know what to focus on next. Your input takes just a few minutes and has a direct impact on our future activities.

💬 Join the 115 participants so far! It doesn't matter how big or small your server is - if it federates, your voice matters.

We need to keep building, keep paying the bills, and keep paying the people doing the work.

I have never asked for money; my goal was to take our founding grants and demonstrate our capability, build trust, and put some wins on the board. I believe we’ve done that. Next we will build toward self sustainability, and my plan is to get there in three years.

You can help me achieve that by donating to the IFTAS fundraiser: https://about.iftas.org/donate

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.

📢 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!

🐬 According to Life, the Fediverse, and Everything, we've had 42 responses to our #Moderator Survey so far!

Last year we had over 130, we want as many people as possible to tell us how we can help support #moderation in the Fediverse!

If you self-host, or run a large server, or anything in between, this is your chance to help us prioritise our resources:
