2025 Fediverse Needs Assessment: The Tools and Resources Moderators Need Most

Last year’s survey revealed major gaps in the tools available to moderators:
- CSAM detection and prevention
- Spam blocking and removal
- NCII (non-consensual intimate image) detection
- Phishing and malware detection
- Toxic IP data
It also showed that only 18% of communities have 24/7 moderation coverage.
