A handbook guide for community managers is on its way.
Deriving from experiences on both federated and centralized networks, the handbook's purpose is to help moderators and community leaders recognize signs of child sexual abuse and identify potential threats.
We aim to shed light on symbols and dogwhistles used by offenders, as these often go under the radar of most moderators, as well as ways to identify potential victims in spaces.
I just rediscovered two old posts/threads of mine, that explain pretty well, why I want to go into pedagogy now (I didn't know it back then - too busy working on my depression and hating school):
Content warning: Childhood trauma

I want to protect children.
I want to provide them a save environment to thrive and talk about their troubles.
In a perfect school system kids would learn mental hygiene and get therapy before they learn integrals and the uncritical history of wars and power abuse. That would prevent so much domestic abuse, because it would be caught early.
And teaching kids emotional and social competence before teaching them applied capitalism will prevent abuse, division, exploitation and hate in the future.
I want to teach children to be happier than me, less abusive than my stepdad, more empathetic than my mom and more protective of future generations than my teachers were.
That's why I'm studying animal assisted pedagogy and will start studying social pedagogy, trauma pedagogy and environmental pedagogy this fall.

Good news (at first glance): Silent Connection Ltd and Dolphin 1337 Limited, two UK-based corporations flagged by Spamhaus as being used for bulletproof hosting, were compulsory dissolved on January 28th and January 14th, respectively. 🙌
Unfortunately, their networks (AS215240 and AS215208) remain active...
Silent Connection quickly secured fresh IP blocks on January 26th through ZeXoTeK IT-Services (whose website, zexotek.de, oddly redirects to Google 🤔). Similarly, Dolphin 1337 Limited acquired new IP space on February 4th.
Even after both companies' were dissolved, these IPs are still operational - effectively making them digital no man’s land.

This incident highlights why robust customer vetting is a necessity. Silent Connection's imminent dissolution was already visible on the UK company register as of November 5th - a clear red flag. 🚩
Spamhaus recommends always vetting new customers, and checking their commercial registry data before providing services. 🕵
