    We're not currently doing anything around spam because it's not really a specification issue. There has been a few projects in this space, but when I've tested them they've left a lot to be desired. I can't remember specific names off top of head now though because it's been at least 6 months since I did that reaearch

    @box464 we started drafting a section on "how do boundaries federate" in this document: https://docs.bonfirenetworks.org/boundaries.htmlThe short story is we interoperate with Mastodon's newly introduced canQuote and and GoToSocial's canReply/canLike/canAnnounce for general boundaries like only follows can reply or everyone can quote, and for everything else it's enforcement at the level of your instance (e.g. "basically just drop replies you don't want"). Feedback on that and on the docs as well is more than welcome!

    Volker Grassmuck (@vgrass https://vgrass.de/) asks:"How can ActivityPub and AtProto join hands so both can fight the Romans rather than each other?"Now here's a question! That makes a great subject for a FediForum session. We are non-partisan with respect to protocols, and want the entire open social web to succeed. And as it is an unconference, the discussion can branch out over several sessions if needed if an action plan were to emerge!#AtProto #ActivityPub

    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 openTake part in the IFTAS Needs Assessment (5–10 minutes).Take the survey now(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 ControlsWe 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 MattersIFTAS 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.Take the 2025 Fediverse Needs AssessmentTogether, we can keep building a safer, healthier Fediverse—one that reflects the needs of its communities.
