A leaked Israeli military order revealed that the Palestinian man raped by Israeli occupation soldiers at the Sde Teiman detention center was a civilian, not a “Hamas fighter” as Israeli supporters had falsely claimed to justify the crime.
The document confirms he was never charged with any crime and was among 1,700 Gaza detainees held without charges and freed in the prisoner exchange on October 13, 2025.

Still Life with Books, Hercules Segers, c. 1618 - c. 1622
While Segers’ stack of books looks unassuming enough, it is entirely original, and may even be the earliest still life in European graphic art. While still lifes frequently feature in 17th-century paintings, they are rarely found in black-and-white (in prints).

A gentle reminder: much like tech support, moderation is most visible when something goes wrong.
The vast majority of moderation work - unseen, unpaid, and often unacknowledged - quietly contributes to a safer, more welcoming experience for everyone.
There is no justification for careless or irresponsible moderation. At the same time, it is important to recognise that this network is sustained by thousands of volunteers who prevent the most harmful content from ever reaching you.

Fediverse admin, moderator and community manager efforts resolve the overwhelming majority of issues before most are even aware of them.
Let's hold moderation to high standards, while also extending the respect and support these volunteers deserve.

IFTAS reshared this.
I'm seeing a lot of conversation around usernames and the implementation of reserved words or profanity/harmful language filters.
This ties in to to a soon-to-be-available feature in Mastodon that will enable rules to proactively moderate account usernames.
The IFTAS Community Library has a reserved words resource page at about.iftas.org/library/reserv…
As with all moderation tools, all friction is good friction, nothing is perfect. Used well, reserved word rules are a vital tool in the toolkit.
Reserved Words Resources
Table of Contents
Lists of words considered rude, obscene, inappropriate. These lists could be used by client applications to either restrict or flag content for human review. Account creation workflows could choose to prohibit these usernames, or limit these usernames from interacting publicly until the account has been approved.Resources

- Public attitudes towards offensive language on TV and Radio: Quick Reference Guide (Ofcom)
- Words That Google Instant Doesn’t Like (2600)
Unintended Consequences
Be cautious when using word filters in any language. Known issues include:
- the Scunthorpe Problem, which describes the unintentional blocking or false positives where acceptable words contain unacceptable text strings e.g. assistance should not become ***istance;
- context concerns, especially where lived experience is being discussed, e.g. compare “you are a Slur” with “I was walking down the street and someone called me a Slur”;
- reappropriation, the cultural process by which a group reclaims words that were previously used to disparage of that group.

⚠️ SW-ISAC Advisory
The daily data for the Russian Telegram channel spam network will no longer be updated.
The actor in question has now created over 750 accounts on 180 servers, and shows no sign of slowing down. All activity appears to be manual, but automation of new accounts could quickly overwhelm the network.
Focus will now be on investigating and labelling abandoned and unmanaged domains, and announcing those domains on the newly-released AUD denylist: about.iftas.org/library/iftas-…
IFTAS Abandoned and Unmanaged Domain (AUD) Denylist
Table of Contents
About this denylist
The Abandoned and Unmanaged list is an IFTAS-curated list of domains that are highly recommended for defederation or limited delivery. Each domain is labelled using a shared vocabulary label. Each domain is investigated by human review for governance, common content, network and service activities, hosting location and more.Before including any domain on this list we perform the following efforts to ascertain the service status:
- spam accounts are reported to the domain and monitored for mitigation for one week,
- if no mitigation is observed, the listed admin is contacted on network,
- if no response, the listed admin is contacted via email if publicly available,
- if no response, then any DNS/domain registrant contact information is used if available.
Inclusion on this list means we have observed this domain:
- is a dedicated spam service, or
- has been clearly abandoned but still allows creation of new accounts, or
- chooses to not delete known spam accounts, even when reported; and
- we are highly unlikely to ever retract an entry.
In all cases we strongly recommend you use a Federation Policy to aid you in your decision making.

The account names listed below are associated with a pro-Russia spam/propaganda network identified in September 2025. For more context see our related blog post and bsky.app/profile/antibot4naval…Additional indicators that would identify these accounts as being part of the network include registration after September 8, 2025; linking to pro-Russia Telegram channels; masquerading as legitimate news organisations; and the use of disposable email domains for the account registration.
If you choose to report or flag an account you believe to be associated, include a link to mastodon.iftas.org/@iftas/1153… for the service moderation team to review.
