Running a community in the Fediverse means balancing openness with safety. Every year, @iftas takes the pulse of administrators, moderators, and community managers with their Annual Needs Assessment. This survey helps identify what’s working, where support is needed, and which tools can make a difference for those keeping decentralized spaces safe.
The 2025 survey is now open
Take part in the IFTAS Needs Assessment (5–10 minutes).
(If you haven’t seen them before, you can also take a look at last year’s report)
Last year’s responses represented moderators of over 4.3 million accounts across ActivityPub platforms. With WordPress now the largest group of federating instances, it’s especially important for our community of hosts, site admins, and moderators to be heard.
Moderation in WordPress: From Site-Wide to Personal Controls
We recently introduced a major update to the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress: personalized and site-wide moderation tools.
- Site administrators can now set domain, keyword, and actor-level blocks that protect the entire site.
- Individual users can fine-tune their own experience with personal blocks, managed directly from their profiles.
- Content is checked against both global and personal rules—so moderation works at every level.
These improvements directly address needs raised in previous IFTAS surveys, making moderation more discoverable, flexible, and effective for WordPress communities in the Fediverse.
Your Input Matters
IFTAS uses the Needs Assessment to guide tools, policies, and advocacy that reflect the real-world challenges of moderators—especially those in under-resourced communities. The more representative the responses, the stronger the outcomes for everyone.
If you’re running a federating WordPress site, please consider:
- Filling out the survey yourself.
- Sharing it with other admins, moderators, and community organizers.
- Reminding folks that it’s anonymous, quick, and impactful.
Together, we can keep building a safer, healthier Fediverse—one that reflects the needs of its communities.

Opened the window to check a noise.
Saw nothing but the void - a wall of fog.
Closed it.I now have zero answers and new fears.

Giant Neopixel Is Just Like The Regular Kind, Only Bigger
Neopixels and other forms of addressable LEDs have taken the maker world by storm. They make it trivial to add a ton of controllable, glowing LEDs to any project. [Arnov Sharma] has made a great tribute to the WS2812B LED by building the NeoPixel Giant Edition.
The build is simply a recreation of the standard 5mm x 5mm WS2812B, only scaled up to 150 mm x 150 mm. It uses a WS2811 chip inside to make it behave in the same way from a logical perspective, and this controller is hooked up to nine standard RGB LEDs switched with MOSFETs to ensure they can deliver the requisite light output. The components are all assembled on a white PCB in much the same layout as the tiny parts of a WS2812B, which is then installed inside a 3D-printed housing made in white PLA. Large metal terminals were added to the housing, just like a WS2812B, and the lens was then created using a large dose of clear epoxy.
The result is a fully functional, addressable LED that is approximately 30 times larger than the original. You can even daisy-chain them, just like the real thing. We’ve covered all kinds of projects using addressable LEDs over the years, from glowing cubes to fancy nature installations. If you’ve got your own glowable project that the world needs to see, make sure you notify the tips line!
