- Comment on Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide 2 days ago:
They’re completely opt-in for server admins and use publicly available information to ban users seen logged into “condos” which are sexually explicit and used to groom children. It’s a system called Ro-Cleaner (among others) that allow moderators to blanket ban these people.
The fact is that Discord and Roblox aren’t doing anything to prevent this activity despite being responsible for facilitating it (condos are published on private Discord servers). When people report these servers or the condos they refuse to do anything meaningful.
I haven’t actually seen any evidence of doxxing/harassment. The system does not collect information other than usernames and the activities of those users in Roblox, both of which are publicly available. I would be interested in hearing whatever information you may have on this.

This is really cool! I’d be interested to find out what lower cost / recycled materials can achieve with this design. Also designs for the other connecting pieces like chains etc
- Comment on Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide 2 days ago:
Discord has been taking down free bot systems that people have created to cross check user history and keep them away from minors by banning them from all servers that subscribe to the service. It was entirely opt in and discord obviously doesn’t care that people are groomed they are in fact facilitating in and blocking any organized efforts to stop predators.

- Comment on Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time? 5 weeks ago:
It’s perfectly fine to host jellyfin online. Use a proxy server to enable TLS and do not use default ports 80/443. Use letsencrypt for free certificates. No need for VPN to access here either. Do not expose any other ports such as SSH on default ports. Lock down your jellyfin server and any other related services behind a VPN service and block access to Internet through other interfaces (except for port forwards on your ISP for jelly). Go high on port ranges since they typically aren’t scanned or blocked.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employee protestor who called AI boss a ‘war profiteer’ 5 months ago:
Microsoft has policy that prevents it from retaliatory actions against human rights violations. Court should rule Microsoft violated its own policies…
- Comment on What Ever Happened to MSN Messenger? 10 months ago:
Support matrix!! It already has international support, just needs to be a bit better with stickers and qol stuff. I’ve been using it for years. It’s nice to know I don’t have to worry about my privacy at all with chat rooms that can continue on without the original server.
