ROOST
@roost.tools
We’re ROOST (Robust Open Online Safety Tools), a non-profit building and maintaining open source, accessible, high-quality, transparent safety tools for digital organizations of all kinds. roost.tools
@cassidyjames.comReposted by @roost.tools@cassidyjames.comReposted by @roost.toolsWith the imminent minor release, Osprey got the nice docs site treatment like Coop and the @roost.tools community docs. :)
@roost.toolsTrue to form, there’s also some discussion of pirates and Star Trek. Catch it in the latest episode of the “Possible” podcast on YouTube in the post above, at the link below, or wherever you get your podcasts.
@roost.toolsOpen source safety has taken big steps forward, but there’s still more to be done. Camille talked about what it will take to close the gap, where the hardest problems in safety sit, and the fellow travelers taking this bet alongside us to raise the floor for safety everywhere.
@roost.toolsROOST president @camillefrancois.bsky.social sat down with @reidhoffman.bsky.social and Aria Finger to talk about the partners, teams, contributors, scientists, and really the community of people who have come together over the past 18 months to make online safety tools available for everyone.
@aagh.bsky.socialReposted by @roost.toolsAnd we're part of @roost.tools model community! As part of the launch, we released a big ol' guide to choosing and routing open safety models
roost.tools/blog/a-guide...
@jeremiponak.bsky.socialReposted by @roost.toolsbeen cooking up new models with partners for a few months @roost.tools. Come test models with us at the end of the month!
@roost.toolsCome try it yourself! Bring your own rules to “Does a Model Follow Your Rules?”, a hands-on online workshop we’re hosting with Musubi on October 27. Register now to join us!
@roost.toolsOpen safety models came gradually, then all at once! We welcome Musubi's PolicyLM into the ROOST Model Community; it’s a lightweight, text-only model designed for rapid moderation while following your rules. We also wrote this guide with Musubi on picking and routing between different models:
@cassidyjames.comReposted by @roost.toolsMore @roost.tools docs site updates! We’re now serving project docs from the shiny new docs.roost.tools domain. Idk what to do with the bare domain yet, so it currently redirects to roost.tools, but projects get a nice URL like:
More to come soon. 👀
@roost.toolsLet us know and we’ll add the repo to the community playground!
@scarnecchia.netReposted by @roost.toolsWho else is using @roost.tools’ Osprey for moderation on ATProto? Would there be interest in some sort of shared repo for UDFs and Plugins?
@cassidyjames.comReposted by @roost.toolsThe @roost.tools community site now shows contributors from the GitHub API! It doesn’t reflect every contribution to the community (e.g. folks who are active in working groups or chat but not on GitHub), but it’s a start to try to visualize who the ROOST community actually is.
@cassidyjames.comReposted by @roost.toolsThe @roost.tools Coop docs are looking preeeeeetty nice now, huh? 👀
@roost.toolsWe’re so grateful for your work, @thisismissem.social!
@thisismissem.socialReposted by @roost.toolsWooo, first Coop release I've directly been a part of — hoping you'll see more of that soon! I've been grinding on reducing tech debt and figuring out how to make the code more maintainable long term
@cassidyjames.comReposted by @roost.toolsWe’re still refining our processes, but I think we went too long between releases! 😅 For a relatively minor update, there’s so much good stuff coming in Coop 1.1.0. And a ton from adopters using Coop in production, or first-time contributors. It’s exciting to see this community grow and develop. 😊
@roost.toolsIf all goes well, we hope to release the stable 1.1.0 version later this week. 🤞️ Feel free to share any feedback here in this thread, or on this GitHub Discussion:
@roost.toolsThe community of ROOST contributors has been busy over the past several weeks working on the upcoming 1.1.0 release of Coop. We have a pre-release available for testing, and would love your feedback if you’re currently deploying Coop or are interested in trying it out.
@roost.toolsMost tooling for fighting fraud and abuse was built for 2010s social media. The abuse evolved. The tools mostly didn't.
@julietshen.online at Marketplace Risk NYC on why open source and open weight models help: you run them yourself, so sensitive data never leaves your systems.
