From one of the items on the agenda:
"How could peer moderation work in an ActivityPub context?"
I miraculously made it to the correct train on the correct platform at the correct time. Goodbye, Brussels!
The @roost.tools talk from @fosdem is up!

We’ve uploaded it to YouTube for convenience, or you can view it and the slides on the FOSDEM event page:
https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/U7ABHE-roost-osprey/
Give it a watch to learn a bit about trust and safety and Osprey, our open source automated rules engine and investigation tool!
Oh real quick before sleep: I had a great time at the Christchurch Call Foundation × @roost.tools brunch talking about Open Source and Online Safety with folks from across the ecosystem! Thank you to everyone who joined; you all are doing great work and had great insights. I look forward to continuing the conversation about how to keep platforms and users safe with open source solutions.

Good morning Brussels! I’m on my way to the campus to give a talk about how @roost.tools is bringing open source to trust & safety (and vice versa). We’ll be in AW at 10 AM!

Just an occasional reminder that disabling replies is the #1 requested feature from Mastodon.

(EDIT: Direct link, in case the above doesn't work for you: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/8565)
Limiting who can reply is also worth giving a thumbs-up to, currently at #10.

Who moderates the social web?
In the second post of our 2025 report series, we look at the people behind the work, their roles, experience, and how many are burning out.
Now with three years of data, we’re also looking at trends.

If you’re attending FOSDEM next weekend, we’ll be there! We’re giving a talk about bringing open source to trust and safety on Sunday:
https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/U7ABHE-roost-osprey/
We don’t have a stand this year, but you can probably find ROOSTers hanging around our Matrix, ATproto, and fediverse friends as well. Or message me to find out where we’re at. 👀
If you are into the intersection of open source and safety policy, then we’d also love for you to join a brunch we’re co-hosting with the Christchurch Call Foundation:
We’ll be discussing how open source can empower online service providers to combat terrorism and violent extremism while upholding the principles of a free, open, and secure internet.
It’s a small event with limited space, so register at the link if that sounds like your jam!
