We are kicking off an exciting collaborative with the Bonfire Networks developer team -a governance-first community platform using ActivityPub.
The Bonfire developer team are interested in reviewing proposals from the moderator community for rapid iteration of evidence-based, prosocial tooling and workflow in a co-design effort with the moderator community.
Learn more about them on their website: bonfirenetworks.org/
Bonfire
A federated social network for individuals and communities to design, operate and control their own digital lives.bonfirenetworks.org
The Bonfire team have already rapidly adopted several proposals including:
1) Greyscaling & blurring media in reported content to reduce trauma for moderators reviewing harmful content.
2) Muting audio in media files so there are no sudden noises, loud volume or traumatic audio for the moderation workflow.
3) Removing clickable links from reported content & suggesting URL investigation tools to reduce the chance of moderators clicking through to phishing, malware, & other harmful websites.
Our IFTAS Connect community is working to provide additional feedback, and anyone is free to suggest additional feedback on the Bonfire GitHub github.com/bonfire-networks/bo….
You can join IFTAS Connect here for lots more resources for moderators too: connect.iftas.org/ .
