The martial arts community I launched on May 21, 2001 turned 24 years old today.
Last year, we completed a multi-year migration to move the community from old software that was slowly breaking to modern community software that would ensure the community could last 30, 40, 50 years. @chrispian worked a lot on this, with an assist from @mattmecham and crew.

Dear community managers - today we officially release our Handbook, dedicated to prevention of CSA in online spaces.
https://orchard.androcross.nl/resources/orchard-handbook
We want to encourage administrators and users alike to read it.
Have feedback? Send an e-mail at orchard@androcross.nl -- keep in mind we will be unable to reply to your input on Fediverse.
We acknowledge this is not a 100% complete guide and it may omit some topics; they will be addressed in the future.
Me: sets up a virtual coffee for people to come ask questions about OSS stuff
Person: *shows up 15 minutes in and says "Hello"*
Me: *startled AF, shrieks, knocks things over*
"OMG I'm so sorry, I'd forgotten I'm in a Zoom, hi."
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.
“Section 230 protects any person or any entity that publishes other people’s content online. That is pretty much every person and entity that I know. There’s nothing in its language that limits it to Big Tech. I actually hear this a lot from my friends in the legacy news media community who feel like Big Tech got this statutory advantage that they don’t have. ...

This goofy comment showed up on a LinkedIn post I made criticizing some researchers that had deployed AI bots into a community without permission.
I read it, and it was odd. It seemed kind of like a summary of some of my points, spun around in a blender. I thought it might be AI, so I Googled the name and the first hit was some company calling this an "AI Agent" for "business development."

Like thousands of others, I am now a minority owner of the Oakland Ballers, an independent pro baseball team, after participating in their recent Community Investment Round.
In purchasing these "fan shares," you are taking an actual, tiny stake in the team, alongside the majority owners and folks like Billie Joe Armstrong, Too $hort, Alex Winter, and Chelsea Peretti.

I've finally set aside time for my personal website and blog project about #CommunityManagement, #SocialMedia, #LGBTQIA+ Advocacy, #MentalHealth, and obviously the #GamesIndustry as a whole.
Because I don't want to launch without content, what kind of articles and resources would you like to see?
Imagine a world where anything goes—😬 offensive posts, 💥 constant spam, and 😡 zero accountability.

I can't remember when I last got up this early 😴
Off to Bayreuth university I go! Really hyped about my #CommunityManagement presentation, let's see what the students think!
Preparing to give a guest presentation at a university is fueling my imposter syndrome 😅
Title: Community Management 101
Key takeaways:

What questions would you have as an audience?
@lemeteore Usually, open-source maintainers are good developers. They are, however, not good at and probably not interested in community cat herding. I am not surprised, to see some of them looking for mitigations to being overwhelmed.
Are there people out there loving the interaction and are able to distill community chatter in something a developer can act upon? If so, step up and offer your services to an open-source project out there.
And a call to maintainers. It is OK to not like or be good at community management. Put the word out and look out for people who can help you in that regard.
