@iftas, an organization that's been helping make the fediverse a safer place by supporting admins, moderators and community managers, is asking for our support.

"[...] despite our best efforts to secure sustainable funding, IFTAS is now facing a critical financial shortfall. Without immediate support, we will be forced to severely curtail our activities in the next 60 days."

EDIT: As per a reply, the team is mainly looking for pledges from large donors. Best way you can help as an individual is to spread the word!

The top ranked priorities reported on our 2024 Needs Assessment were that moderators need tools for CSAM detection, spam prevention, and legal guidance for compliance with regulations like GDPR.

Only 16% of communities have 24-hour moderator coverage, and nearly half of moderator teams lack formal guidance. That said, we see roughly one moderator for every 1,200 active accounts.
