While Voyager has mod tools, I’m not sure if you can create a community in the app.

You might need to do the initial setup on the website: https://sh.itjust.works/create_community

Afterwards you should be able to take mod actions on the app

To my knowledge, Lemmy doesn’t support it yet but it’s being worked on. Piefed does have it, and some apps may also support it already

I’m unsure if Lemmys implementation will be compatible with Piefed

All of this sounds convoluted, but makes sense in my head.

Makes sense to me. I do something similar mainly to avoid tiny scratches on my phone screen. I hadn’t considered coordinating the coat pockets with the pant pocket system, but I might do that too now 😄

Neat

I wonder how Google (and the search engines that depend on Google) decide which person/entity to feature in the snippet. At what point would Lemmy the software replace Lemmy the person?

For example, “Swift” brings up the financial organization, while “Taylor” brings up Taylor Swift

In addition to downvoting, please report the post so that admins can take care of it.

This sounds more like a ship of Theseus style question

Is the person with amnesia still the same “person”. I assume the question would also need to enforce the type/extent of the amnesia

Is tailscale running / logged in on those other devices? Does it auto detect the server like it did on the phone?

Imo it might be easier to collaboratively build keyword lists. It’s tedious to tag posts manually, and it becomes impossible to do it effectively after the user base grows past a certain point. You can auto-remove any post that isn’t tagged, but a lot of people dislike that kind of filtering and only a few communities would implement something like that

In case the tags don’t work from Piefed, I’ll try as well

Yup, and meanwhile a lot of the spam we manually remove after users report it, should be obvious to detect with automated tools. For example, when a “user” is posting the same link in every comment, or posting the same length comment in many unrelated subs 24/7 every few minutes, etc.

it’s annoying

Some perspective from the mod side

The ‘Removed by Anti-Evil’ isn’t a new thing. It used to be the admin side spam/site wide rule breaking content remover.

• It acted like Lemmy’s purge function. When something is removed on Reddit, it’s still visible to mods. Sometimes after something extra awful had been removed, anti-evil would come along and clean it up.

• It would be an indication that something is against site wide rules. If the mods don’t take care of reported content that’s clearly against sitewide rules, and anti-evil has to step in, then it’s a sign that the subreddit might need to be doing more

Recently though it’s been coming along and removing comments before any of the mods can see what the comment was. That makes it hard to take any further action since the mods can’t know what the problem was. So far when that’s happened, the thread had nothing controversial and the user’s history was normal and tame, so I have to assume that the new version of anti-evil has a few screws loose. It’s not even that they’ve raised the threshold for what’s appropriate, since awful content still gets through about equally as often.

The only reason why Reddit’s moderation tooling is considered better than the threadiverse is the standard regex based automod rules. The other reddit tools continue to be hot garbage

Turns out that people are actually buying them

Oh wow

Sorry, I missed the “sold” text on those. Would you happen to know why people collect them?

It is possible to message people on Karrot, but I don’t want to risk a ban by sending links

Maybe that’s what people try selling it for, not necessarily what people purchase it for?

It’s a project that’s compiling a map of wifi/cell tower/bluetooth locations for location services. GPS doesn’t work well in some cases (indoors, remote locations, areas with tall buildings) and so big companies have built similar databases to get accurate location information. For the most part, those ones are proprietary / private. This project is intended to be a public / openly licensed version of that, while also processing the data to strip out potentially private information

I posted this to /c/news where it was promptly removed of course

The removal might be duplicate post or original title related? I see this another post in the community with the same article here:

https://lemmy.ml/post/36868753

If you check the web UI, the cross post section should have links to those other posts.

As for the title rule, I’m not a mod there but we have a similar rule in !canada@lemmy.ca. What I’ve recommended to people is to keep the original title and then add extra context in the post body. The exception being when people add updates or fix clickbait with some indication that the title was modified. Or alternatively, make a text post where it’s clear that you wrote the title, and add the link(s) as supporting evidence in the post body.

Even if your custom title is correct, the rule is needed since it gets difficult for mods to weigh in on every post and decide on what’s correct and what’s misleading/disinformation

For sure, I’ll also edit them into the post

IMO it’s partially because investors are willing to throw money at anything “AI” related, and so people are throwing everything at the wall in case something sticks

Unless they mean something like the Respondus rootkit

IMO some exams should just be proctored in person
