The last 10 days have been a whirlwind for the . Important new versions of @mammoth and @ivory launched. Wordpress and Tumblr reaffirmed their commitment to ActivityPub. And Threads and Flipboard began to federate. What does this all mean for the fediverse? How will moderation work? Who will be next to federate?

I asked @Gargron the founder and CEO of Mastodon.

Check out this very special interview which notably is hosted on our instance.

So far I've had well maintained posts in my timeline, rarely have to block anyone. Recently I saw for the first time that in the German part of the Fediverse the same post is published again and again under different accounts at Mastodon instances+wordpess. Something I had never experienced before. Maintaining your own timeline and who you follow with even more research and fact-checking could now also increase here... That's the downside of reach.

@werawelt @mammoth @ivory @Gargron it's the downside of scale for sure. But there are also a ton of upsides too. We have to keep innovating our respective services and researching/advocating for new approaches to combat the problematic and evil uses of this tech.

@mike
I agree with you.
Things are in constant development with the associated changes.
I think the moderation teams of the instances will have even more to do in the near future until the new services are developed.
At this point, a big thank you to all the #moderators in Fediverse 🌻
