#AllThingsTech is currently looking for a moderator for our instance. Someone that can help with reports that come in, as well as various other little things.
If you are interested, please let myself or @beardedtechguy as we'd love to talk to you and possibly bring you on board.

Me in 2019: Let’s run an InfoSec and a regional Mastodon instance - Should be FUN!
Me today: Discussing whether reported accounts are russian troll bots and how far these election-influencing operations would go. “Do you really think they use a (virtual) iOS device, tunnel that to Hamburg, and then activate the Apple privacy network..?”
Good Luck to all the #mastomod and #mastoadmin !!!
There is a big fucking bug in Mastodon's moderation features.
When I as a moderator suspend a remote account...
Expected behavior: The account can no longer be found or interacted with on our server and the account can't find or interact with accounts on our server.
Actual behavior: the account can still be found but is empty. there is a notice that the account is suspended and there is even still a follow button - it just doesn't do anything.
And the account can still see everything from our instance and interact with our posts. 🤯 Our users just won't reciprocate the interaction, because the reply won't appear here.
But if someone else replies to a reply from the suspended account we'll see that reply, but won't know what original post it belongs to.
Is this a new bug with Mastodon 4.3 or has it always been like that?
I've been moderating for 5 years now and this is new to me.
I'm not going to create an account on Microsoft™️ Github to officially file this bug report, but can someone tell me if it's already reported and what's the status? Thanks.
Additional ideal expected behavior: Previous replies to any of our posts by the suspended account won't be seen by anyone anywhere on the Fediverse - or at least not as replies to our posts, because our instance notifies/federates all other instances that these replies shouldn't be there.

It's times like the last 2 - 3 days with the large amount of spam that we've gotten that #AllThingsTech is certainly in need of someone who is active and a moderator.
Someone who can help handle all of the reports from those spam attacks.
Also worth mentioning, it would be nice to have a moderator who is going to actively speak about the instance and help it grow in various ways.

Im Fediverse treibt seit einigen Wochen ein Nazi sein Unwesen, der immer wieder auf verschiedenen Mastodon-Instanzen Accounts anlegt, um einen bestimmten Wissenschaftler mit Hassnachrichten zu überziehen.
Mods, Admins und andere Fediwesen reagieren hierauf teils gar nicht, teils hilflos. Das muss sich ändern! Darum ein paar Hinweise:
• User: Meldet Hassnachrichten *mit Weiterleitung an die ursprüngliche Instanz*! Ihr müsst keine Angst haben: Die Admins und Mods der anderen Instanzen sehen nicht, von wem die Meldung kommt, sondern nur, von welcher Instanz.
• Moderator:innen: Auch wenn ihr meint, dass ein Tröt von der Meinungsfreiheit gedeckt ist – seht euch auch den Kontext an! Wenn der Tröt Teil einer Hetzkampagne ist, solltet ihr evt. doch dagegen vorgehen.
• Admins: Instanzen, die nicht gegen Hass oder andere kriminelle Inhalte vorgehen, könnt ihr stummschalten oder deföderieren. Um eure User vor Belästigung zu schützen, hilft oft schon das Stummschalten (Limitieren).
In der Juni-Ausgabe meiner @gnulinux -Kolumne "Ückück und das #Fediverse" geht es dieses Mal um das Thema private Nachrichten, was wir als Mods und Admins wirklich sehen und warum ihr für eure Chats immer verschlüsselte Messenger verwenden solltet.

We're looking for more ways to get people involved in our Communities.
Alongside our pilot volunteer Community Curation project, we've launched Community 'About Screens'. Here, you can see more about the Community, including who shapes it.
At the moment, all About Screens are a blank canvas but if you're interested in changing that, get in touch at volunteer@newsmast.org.
Please boost 🧡

I recently discovered a feature for moderators where you can help with accessibility. When moderating a hashtag, you can change its display name to replace lower-case with upper-case letters. This will help both dyslexics and vision impaired people.
If you can afford an extra minute or two to fix these while moderating trends, it will make them easier to read for everybody, especially the really long tags in hashtag games.
