  • Welcome! As a new mod of a community that recently went through similar growing pains (and rules updates), I can appreciate the challenges ahead of you and @ayyy@sh.itjust.works. You sound like you’ve got a good head on your shoulders, and that will do a lot for you and this community. There is nothing more humbling than being given a responsibility like this (at least, that’s how I feel: YMMV).

    It is my understanding that mods from different instances than the community do not (always?) see the mod reports for the community (or get notified?). It might be worth looking into more just to be sure.

    Also, I’d love to learn more about your local AI setup. I’ve been interested in doing something like that myself, but I am not sure where to start. 😊




  • Yes. Because cookies are used for tracking and can be set without the aid of Javascript.

    For anyone interested, cookies pre-date Javascript and are baked in the HTTP protocol by way of a Set-Cookie header that the browser responds to by storing whatever information accompanies the Set-Cookie header; usually a unique id that can then be used to track what pages on a domain you visit.







  • But think of the children!

    These are the same people who push things like age verification, and banning porn. The really worse part about this, despite his hand-waving “I didn’t mean to offend anyone” bullshit, is that this apparently has become so normalized that this has become something that is taking a large amount of effort and time to resolve (if it ever gets resolved).

    In any normal timeline, this a) would have never happened so publicly, and 2) he would’ve been immediately removed and stepped down in shame.

    But here we are: the Dark Ages pt. 2. Their masks are off, and they are leaving their shame behind. This is our new normal.
