new pinned post: Hi I'm Juliet, head of product at @roost.tools. New Yorker, amateur birder, and chronically online gardener for the community ecosystem we call The Internet. built a lot of tools for online safety over the years, now doing it open source for a better online world for all 💜

devastating - @restofworld.org has been one of my favorite outlets doing very important journalism.

Some of the Blacksky team will be traveling to Barcelona for Mozfest this week. We are showing up to speak truth to power, build our coalition, and show what it looks like to build alongside our community. TL; DR of the talks @rude1.blacksky.team will be doing: Lookout for us with zines + stickers!

absolutely iconic

*gestures wildly for features*

The Matrix Conference was covered by @computerworld.com: countries showed their deployments, they demoed cross-border federation between @ec.europa.eu, DINUM, Sweden, Germany and NATO ACT, and more. Proud to be a trusted partner for most of those deployments! www.computerworld.com/article/4239...

me whenever I hear / see the words "moderation" or "trust and safety"

mondays are better when fuelled by kanelbullar

Oh ha! If you make it one word with German spelling then you get the German adjective for specific: spezifisch If you heard this, in the context of food it could've been: Speisefisch: "food fish" or "edible fish".

pds hosting was just a psyop to learn moderation pipelines

said with delight: I like this hot chocolate, it's not sweet at all! like whatsoever!

please someone what is a spezi fisch

hell yeah!!!!

Very nice update for anyone needing to quickly moderate large amounts of posts

I am such a fan of the mehta era so far

The newest model in the ROOST Model Community!

gritsyyyy

we had a great time hacking on Matrix this week at #MatrixConf. The @matrix.org folks are doing some great work and use Coop, Osprey, and HMA to do it! ft @cassidyjames.com and @julietshen.online (sometimes but not always represented by a rooster on a wall)

everyone who yells for images in dms should have to moderate images in dms for a month

We're shipping CoPE-B-S1, an open-weight decision model tuned for safety use cases. It's a significant step forward for our CoPE family of models in a few ways. A thread: blog.zentropi.ai/meet-cope-b-...

great day to have accidentally set my pronouns as my last name for #MatrixConf !

love seeing where reporting v2 is going at @matrix.org @mackesque.bsky.social #MatrixConf

shout out to @iftas.org moderator survey during @mackesque.bsky.social talk at #MatrixConf @matrix.org

Matrix is working on Raven, which is a new open source project to connect your Matrix deployment to Coop and Osprey, the open source trust and safety tools from ROOST! 🙌

Jim is sharing an update about T&S for Matrix. @julietshen.online and I will cameo later in the talk to share a bit about @roost.tools projects being used to keep people safe on Matrix.

at the talk on open protocols by @samvie.eurosky.social at #MatrixConf! ATmosphere, @eurosky.social, @blackskyweb.xyz mentioned alongside Mastodon and Matrix. Super important points on the need to connect protocols for digital sovereignty

found an NYC Teamster whose tiktoks are just skate tricks he dedicates to other unions.

The likeliest explanation, by far, for No Kings having their account suspended by Meta is an automated policy generating some kind of false positive. This is much likelier than "Meta intentionally acting out against No Kings for...90 minutes on a random weekend"

A wild @julietshen.online appeared! We’re both in town to chat about open source T&S tooling. ✨

Starting today!! #MatrixConf 20-23 October #Malmo. Here's @amandine.bsky.social getting ready to welcome volunteers and attendees. See what's up next: conference.matrix.org

Happy to be the Anchor Sponsor again for the @matrix.org Conference, kicking off tomorrow with an amazing line-up of governments and intergovernmental organisations (IGOs)! Watch as the 13 governments and IGOs talk about how Matrix gives them full digital sovereignty. conference.matrix.org/watch/

What's so amazing about these old Irish Halloween turnip carvings is how accurately they also represent what it feels like to live in the 21st century

Good morning, Malmö! I’m excited to hang out with and learn from people building messaging and social experiences on the open, decentralized #Matrix protocol. 😊 And if you have any questions about @roost.tools, our open source trust & safety tools Coop & Osprey, or T&S in general, I’d love to chat!
