We're currently seeking expressions of interest from aus.social members to join the mod team. There's no expectation to be available every day. We generally receive only a few reports every day, unless there's a wave of spam. New mods are provided basic training and ongoing support.

Moderation decisions are made by consensus, after discussing reports and using the Code of Conduct for guidance. Many reports related to spam. Other common reports (mostly involving off Instance accounts) include trolling, racism, transphobia, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.

If you're interested in becoming a mod, first have a re-read of the aus.social code of conduct. Then reply to this post by direct message, telling us what you can bring to the role.

Thanks

@dalias The team have a rather comprehensive moderator code of conduct, a reasonable vetting process of memory serves, and historically at least, a large enough team to notice and combat and moderator power abuse.

@mattcen @dalias i'd go so far as to say aus.social's moderation's excellent and the team therefore are also excellent and certainly in no need of advice on the matter of a callout for volunteers


Lernt Instrumente spielen.

Ich habe seit Tagen Klavierfragmente im Kopf und werde sie nicht los, weil ich kein Klavier spielen kann.

Sehr frustrierend.



Gemessen an der deutschen Wirtschaftskraft liegen die Sozialausgaben des Bundes nach offiziellen Angaben heute nicht höher als vor zehn Jahren. Laut Statistischem Bundesamt brachte der Bund 2024 einen Anteil von 5,53 Prozent des Bruttoinlandsprodukts (BIP) für soziale Sicherung auf - im Vergleich zu 5,64 Prozent im Jahr 2015. Auch im Jahr 2000 waren es 5,63 Prozent. Nur in Krisenjahren dazwischen gab es einige Ausreißer nach oben.

Today in Labor History September 4, 1970: Socialist Salvador Allende was elected President of Chile. As president, he tried to nationalize major industries, expand education and improve conditions for the working class. On September 11, 1973 (the other 9/11), he was ousted in a coup by Augusto Pinochet, leading to a dictatorship that lasted until 1990. Thousands of workers, socialists, union members and activists were killed, including folk singer Victor Jara, who continued to sing, as his torturers beat him up, mashed his fingers in front of thousands of other prisoners in the Estadio Chile. He sang “Venceremos” (We Shall Win) through split lips. Before being riddled with 40 bullets, he managed to compose the song “Estadio Chile” and get it smuggled out; "How hard it is to sing when I must sing of horror. / Horror which I am living, horror which I am dying." The coup and dictatorship were supported by the CIA, and by President Nixon, and by the Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, who later won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Here's is an interview & rare live footage of Jara singing his classic: El Derecho de Vivir en Paz.

"I haven’t felt this positive about politics ever. I think we can be a really powerful voice."

Mothin Ali speaks to the Guardian following his election as Co-Deputy Leader of the Green Party ⤵️





Italian dockers'unions have launched a clear warning to #IOF forces that so far have illegally assaulted in international waters all humanitarian flotillas heading to Gaza to deliver food and medical supply to the starving civilian hostages..

The #SUMUD, the largest flotilla so far sent to save Gazans from slow starvation will soon leave Barcelona with her 12 ships and is due to reach international waters 20 miles away from #Gaza mid-September.

The movement of dockers and theirs unions here vow that if they stay 20 minutes with no news from the flotilla, if for 20 mn contact is lost for whatever reason, they will immediately cease the work in Genova and in other Italian harbors.

Genova, it is every year 14.000 containers with Israelian ports for destination.

"20 minutes without direct radio contact with our comrades from the Sumud and Italian dockers will cease the work immediately.
I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget, 20 minutes without contact and not a nail , not a single box will reach Israel, nothing !"

.
Our Western governments have been following the orders of their USA puppet-master for way too long

It is high time the people show them where the real power stands : power stands in our own hands and ability to unite.

United we stand, divided we fall.

"Mandatário da candidatura do Chega à Câmara de Vendas Novas detido por suspeita de atear fogos"
sempre a inovar, incendiários acho que ainda não tinham



This statement stuck out to me:

"A lot of the frustration I hear is that every time a new one is announced, all the government officials are there for the ribbon-cutting, but when closures are announced, nobody says anything"

A good leader should be in the thick of it when things go bad, doing ALL he or she can for those affected.

The image features a gradient background transitioning from pink on the left to purple on the right. Centered on this background is a block of white text that reads: "I'm sure most won't agree but I'm happy to pay a dollar more for a thing of fries if it means the guy deep-frying them doesn't need 3 jobs to survive." The text is bold and clearly legible against the colorful background, emphasizing the message. The overall composition is simple, with the text being the focal point, and the gradient background providing a visually appealing contrast.
