A good report as always, and agreed about the importance of @nodebb's release.With @pixelfed , it's important to highlight that the moderation story is a disaster waiting to happen. @dansup himself has said that he still needs to implement key functionality like moderation roles and a dashboard, and that he doesn't have a moderation team in place. Others have pointed out multiple unfixed bugs related to reporting. A high-profile Pixelfed fiasco (or worse, blatantly illegal content) could not only destroy the reputation of Pixelfed, but the sharpnel could have an impact on fedi as a whole -- especially at a time when regulators in the UK are clarifying enforcement of the Online Safety Act, and anti-LGBTQIA2S+ fascist oligarch who run social networks that compete with fedi are in power in the US.It would be great if Dan changes his stance -- turning off open registration on pixelfed.social until he has the moderation situation under control would be an easy first step that could make a big difference.And also, we really need to think about what we can collectively do to limit the damage to fedi as a whole. @fediversereport @fediversenews #fediverse #pixelfed
