Hey, y'all, I've been on the fedi a minute. I've been on Mastodon since 2017, and an admin since '22.
The people at IFTAS are doing great work. Needed work. They provide space for admins to share knowledge, and they build evidence-based blocklists new instances can use to stay safe.
They need help. Now. Consider giving to IFTAS:

I've done it.
