A post on that other site inspired me to make a new safety tool.
By default, Discord enables the "Use External Apps" permission for EVERYONE. I'm willing to bet that most servers don't even know that they're at risk.
Audit your servers. Remove this dangerous permission.

Happy New Year!
As 2026 starts, consider taking some time to control what you see on BlueSky (ATProto)

Because @labeler.hailey.at is fairly low stakes and is merely a community tool (not something we run in production), I've gone ahead and made the ruleset that drives it public. Hopefully serves as a good reference for writing Osprey rules.

Ever been curious who got banned when and by who? Streamers, you can see a whole readout now after your streams, and do things like bulk report usernames if you so choose. Now in your Dashboard. Mods can see this from Mod actions in Mod View. help.twitch.tv/s/article/mo...
StreamElements has now patched this issue.

And if that doesn’t sound like you, don’t worry – there’s still plenty of ways to join the RMC!
Hop in our Discord server discord.gg/UXmBqy7kFX to learn more.
Or, dive right into the GitHub repo github.com/roostorg/ope....
To kick it off, we’re hosting a hackathon on December 8 in San Francisco with OpenAI and Hugging Face @hf.co . If you’re a developer, Trust & Safety expert, or policy wonk, join us there! events.openai.com/gpt-oss-safe...
At the Paris Peace Forum earlier today, we announced the release of gpt-oss-safeguard in partnership with OpenAI. Now, we’re announcing the launch of the ROOST Model Community (RMC).
roost.tools/blog/a-new-milestone-for-open-source-safety-infrastructure-and-transparency/
We're excited to announce the result of months of collaboration with OpenAI, gpt-oss-safeguard. This reasoning model is designed for safety workflows where you bring your OWN policy and definitions of safety, and it explains each decision it makes.

Draft animation of AT Protocol Moderation
Actively revising narration
Welcome to feedback from all
I'll be trying out leaflet.pub moving forward to try to write longer form blogs on Trust and Safety so that I can explain things in a bit more depth.

for atproto devs and protocol watchers, I published an overview of the network moderation architecture.
it tries to cover all the mod actions possible for each service type. this design has been around a while, but not well documented.
this doc is not very polished, but could clarify some details
a bunch of folks are wondering about how mod comms work for other PDS instances. this is also a problem for, eg, labelers trying to reply to appeals.
the plan is this proposal, which we have been making slow progress towards (it has been a very very busy 12 months for mod eng team)
There’s a lot of #Discord Invites out there!
