   Reminding myself to check in on the fediforum in a week or so.

   I've spent the last 2+ years spending so much time and money on running vis.social, and experimenting with starting datavis.social. Building a team of amazing folks to help guide and work together to moderate our instances.

   We need more support! We need more cross instance collaboration in defense against bad actors.

   We want to spend more time community building, and less defense.

     @kristinHenry Can you clarify which tools you’re missing?

     If @Gargron keeps neglecting our moderation support needs, I fear that Mastodon will fade away, while other fediverse systems rise to the needs of the people.

     I continue to see distributed social as the best path forward.

     Will mastodon keep up?

     I hope that it does. And I'm sharing my thoughts, here, in the hope that others might speak up, and push for more.

     It's been two-f*cking years! And still I don't have the tools to protect my community!

     My mod team is amazing! Thoughtful, compassionate, wanting to do the best most supportive thing possible.

     But we have inadequate tools. Still!!!!

     Honestly, when I'm asked to 'raise my hand' and 'ask my questions'...ummm..I've been in tech for a very long time, and as a woman I find that it takes at least three times for me to say something and then a dude repeats it, and suddenly everyone hears it.

     If you really want to hear what I have to say, you need to do better.

     Honestly, why should I bother to tell Eugene, what I need to protect and guide my community safely?

     @Moss @seachanger @kristinHenry How would I know if we've gotten this input before before I know what this input is?

     @Gargron @seachanger @kristinHenry In all sincerity Eugen, are you asking for real? You’re saying you haven’t gotten this input yet?
