@iftas is conducting its annual needs assessment survey, inviting Fediverse moderators, administrators, and community managers to provide input on how IFTAS can help them.
In the past, this has led to the development of critical tools for CSAM detection and reporting, regulatory compliance guidance, and so much more.
If you're a mod, admin, or community manager, fill out this survey so IFTAS can put its resources in the right place: https://about.iftas.org/moderator-needs-assessment/

Bluesky, being the largest ATProto AppView, means that their moderation decisions have the broadest impact on the ATmosphere experience.
Mastodon, being the largest ActivityPub platform, means that their decisions on how quote posts work have the broadest impact on the Fediverse experience.
The quicker everyone realizes these ecosystems are similar, the quicker we can focus on targeting social siloes that still dominate the social media landscape.
