How you can help IFTAS:

1. Spread the word: Raising awareness about our funding challenges can help us connect with potential funders, partners, and supporters.
Share our fundraising overview (about.iftas.org/wp-content/u...).

We know most funders cannot move quickly, so we're accepting pledges.
Mastodon posts which say things like “#IFTAS is building so many things that are incredibly important: moderator stipend funds, a portal for learning from other moderators & exchanging notes & building fellowship, CSAM detection tools, labelers, protection for at-risk moderators.” “One of the sessions at #FediForum focused on CSAM, quite a tough topic. If you host your own instance, even if it's just YOU on that instance, you need to consider taking action to protect yourself and your moderation team. Kudos to @thisismissem and @iftas for exploring new ways to manage this without scarring moderators for life.” “IFTAS is amazing, and so is all the work @thisismissem is doing! IFTAS is the perfect org that could eventually maintain FediDB, its growing increasingly important to the fedi and an org like that could manage it long term better than I might be able to.” “It's been really interesting to see the team at @iftas discussing their vision for connecting moderators across the Fediverse. At Newsmast we've been reaching out to other moderators and admins to help us with content we may not have the context or language skills to understand. It'll be great to have a simple way for moderators to communicate and learn from one another!” “I'm excited about IFTAS Connect. It's a great platform, and considerable thought seems to have gone into making it safe and productive.” “Thank you to IFTAS for their important work to make the fediverse more inclusive, safe, and welcoming.”

2. Here's an image from a presentation I gave to Twitter, representing the Twitter bird freed from a closed platform to fly in Bluesky's open ecosystem.
The last slide of the presentation I gave to Twitter in my proposal for how to build Bluesky.
