As part of the work on Fediverse sustainability announced earlier this year, the Social Web Foundation is running our first Fediverse Sustainability Survey . We’re seeking operators, moderators and administrators of Fediverse sites, from the smallest to the largest, to fill out the anonymous survey and share information about how their instances work. If you help run an instance, please take the 10-15 minutes needed to fill out the survey. We need a lot of responses (hundreds!) to get statistically relevant data, so please feel free to share the link. We’re also on the lookout for operators of instances that are no longer running; there is a lot to learn about sustainability from servers that closed down, for whatever reason. We’ll publish findings here as part of our sustainability report, supplemented by interviews with selected respondents. Thanks!
Mastodon Admins, you may want to switch your servers to "Approval required to sign up" and perhaps ask for a reason for joining. You can do this at Preferences > Administration > Server Settings > Registrations
There is currently another big wave of scam posts on the Fediverse pretending to be Mastodon support accounts.
All of these scam accounts are on servers that apparently allow instant sign-ups. It would help to stop these scammers if servers can switch to requiring approval.
