Bullshit. My lgg3 is sitting right here next to me on the headboard, serving me quite well as an alarm clock, white noise generator (when needed), and nighttime notepad.
The only thing that failed on it is the sd card slot after it got dropped for the twentieth odd time.
No clue. But it seems to be most common among people that are most likely to believe that they should be able to say whatever they want, wherever and whenever they want.
Okay, but why did they use that creepy-ass picture for this?
Finally, an ai project worth the cpu cycles!
Yeah, lemmy using the ! for communities kinda screws it up across the board. Some apps can't seem to make it be recognized as a community tag, and it makes the spoiler markdown annoying as hell.
I really wish they'd picked a less important marker for communities. ¢ is like, never used for anything and kinda looks like the c/ thing in a way lol.
On reddit, before they fucked the api, you could use third party tools to identify and tag users that were known trolls, and even have a good chance of identifying ban evaders.
Automod could filter out a lot of trolls and assholes just by fifteen minutes of typing, so users never had to see the worst stuff, even when the trolls weren't identified.
Blocking after the jerks jerk is a slow whack-a-mole process
Well, that's where moderation comes into play.
As much as people hate the idea, you need strict moderation to keep a given platform civil and on topic. To do that you need either robust tools (which lemmy does not have yet), or moderators able and willing to put in the time to keep things on track.
When a forum is run with a low tolerance for incivility, it will eventually become less of a target for jerks.
I catch hell any time I say that because people seem to believe (in spite of a millennium+ of evidence otherwise) that the default state of discourse is friendly and orderly. It simply isn't. People are assholes. When they have the veil of quasi-anonymity, there are large amounts that won't even pretend not to be.
I've seen it happen over and over again since the first html chat I was involved with in the nineties. Even before that, but when you were dealing with pre aol era internet, it was much less of a problem because of the barrier to entry.
You want friendly, chill communities, you have to pick between firm moderation with large and open numbers of users, or light moderation and limited access/numbers. The middle ground is just too open to bad actors.
On reddit, I saw strict moderation change a sub. I saw subs go from constant flame wars and nastiness into a fairly relaxed vibe in a matter of weeks just with active and mild moderation. With stronger moderation and clear community rules, you really can maintain a great community with only bare minimum randos stirring trouble.
Yeah, I eventually realized that. I'm an idiot. I knew there were two versions, but my dumb ass didn't bother to check both instances.
Thank you very much for the help, and the tool itself
Ask that mother and daughter that got arrested for an abortion after facebook ratted them out.
That's why privacy matters. Not because something bad can happen now, but because that information can be weaponized down the road
I'm trying to use it, but I keep getting an error, "missing field infinite_scroll_enabled"
I have no idea what's going on lol
Apparently, the mod team is pretty anti-sexworker. I got banned for this.
Go figure.
