- Comment on Discussion: Long-term need for automation tools for moderation 2 days ago:
That’s not what I’m saying.
Obviously not everyone needs to code. Once I write a bot, it could potentially be used by anyone.
Only a small percentage of mods need to also be developers. But since that group isn’t big enough yet, the solution is growth.
Not asking the platform devs to do even more. They too, are volunteers.
- Comment on Discussion: Long-term need for automation tools for moderation 2 days ago:
I’m not against any of that.
What I disagree with is that this is a priority. It’s a nice-to-have.
Once mod actions are supported, and an API exists, any imaginable automation can be implemented by anyone with impetus to do so.
As such, the priority of further integration drops drastically and platform developer attention can and should move elsewhere.
Mod tools are best created by the people who use them. Even better when they are created for the needs of a specific community. As such, more advanced features should be deferred until later.
Once communities grow large enough that there are a signifucant number lf moderator-developers, it might be worth creating a generic bot that can be configured as meeded. (As have happebed with reddit, discord, etc.)
Asking for these tools before then, is inefficient, because the people who ideally should be working on it, haven’t shown up yet.
- Comment on Discussion: Long-term need for automation tools for moderation 2 days ago:
Indeed.
My core point is that when it comes to moderation, I would prioritize actual mod actions (such as a mod being able to mark posts nsfw instead of deleting them outright) and API support for those actions, over built-in automod features.
Once you have an API, anyone with the skills can implement whatever automation they need.
After that, I would priotize a bunch of other things, too, before ever coming back around to built-in automod features.
- Comment on Discussion: Long-term need for automation tools for moderation 2 days ago:
If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority.
By now I’ve written four bots using the lemmy API.
Any one of your ideas is doable in a weekend if I ever feel then need for a modding bot. But I haven’t.
Honestly that’s how it should be. Modding can have such diverse needs depending on community that just implementing every possible eventuality into lemmy itself, is a huge ask.
Any large community on discord, reddit and other platforms, make extensive use of automod bots. Because using the API, you can write bots that do whatever you can think of.
Modding is volunteer work, but it is work.
If you need tools, find them. If they don’t exist, create them. If you don’t have the skills or time, then don’t volunteer.
- Comment on I landed in another toxic workplace after quitting a previous one. What would you do in this scenario? (Open to all suggestions) 2 days ago:
and if I got into this situation two-times in a row what’s guaranteeing that it won’t happen again
Absolutely nothing.
The way I like to put it, is that most people are nice, but there are assholes everywhere.
It’s not that everyone is a douche, just that there is nowhere you can go, where there won’t already be some, or where they won’t suddenly show up later.
As such, it’s good to try and learn to deal with them, avoid them, or outlast them.
At my last job, my two first bosses were great, then the third was a nightmare. But he got fired two years in and then the fourth was good again. That job lasted me seven years. 5 out of 7 is not bad.
Overlay that with all your colleagues, and yeah, you’re almost bound to have at least some of them be bad… It’s a numbers game. If most of your colleagues are reasonable, then you’re probably in one the better places to be.
- Comment on [Rec] "REDLINE" is one of the best and bizarre animated movie I have ever seen. 2 days ago:
Yup.
It’s pure distilled fun and fuck-yeah energy.

- Comment on Might require more than a quickfix (by ace glitch) 3 days ago:
Fix?
I want you to make me worse.
- Comment on Must my Jellyfin server be able to AV1 videos? 3 days ago:
Yes.
If you always direct-play, the only bitrate you can use is original.
If ever need to watch on a slow connections using a lower bitrate, that will requure transcoding.

- Comment on Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced 1 week ago:
Well yeah. It was being developed by Rocksteady, beloved for the Arkham games.
But interest, despite the marketing, dropped off a cliff the second people smelled live service elements.
The game came out a died a quick death even more quietly than Concord.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced 1 week ago:
while turning a blind eye to the mountains of other people who don’t care
People, fundamentally, care.
That’s like the whole point of having a hobby.
No-one games because they don’t care.
You won’t find anything people are more passionate about, than something they do for fun.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced 1 week ago:
Doesn’t matter if they’re okay with it or not, as long as they tolerate it and don’t do anything about it.
Not being happy about it is the first step on the road to doing something about it. How does that not matter?
Sure but many many more have accepted it. Otherwise they never would have done it again.
Who is doing it again? I’m not.
I remember Overwatch still being a wild success regardless.
Is it?
We are on like 2905295734th now.
And? It takes as many times as it takes.
Indie game studios could only ever dream of achieving the heights of revenue of games like Fortnite, that survives entirely on microtransactions.
Why? There are absolutely indies who’ve made millions. Why is there zero chance that one day, the next Fortnite or Roblox comes from an indie?
It already happened at least once. Minecraft.
They are doing everything they can to screw their own customers and yet they pile in by the millions every time they have something new.
Yes. But again. It takes as many times as it takes.

Remember when gamers found out Suicide Squad, which at time had real hype behind it, would be live service BS…
And people literally just didn’t play it.
People. Even entire demigraphics, can a do learn.

And there’s always new marks.
If your market is small enough.
You bring up gambling. It’s de-regulation and consequent proliferation via online gambling has made the problems it causes more likely to be addressed than ever.
The bigger your market grows, the more aware the cultural zeitgeist becomes, the more likely you are be ousted entirely.
A bookie in Vegas could keep running their casino forever, because there didn’t use to be a casino in every persons pocket, that might’ve already taught every new mark to be wary.

It will work. Even if they get 10 new subscribers, it probably took them 20 minutes to whip up this splash screen. They’re wasting much more of your time. And people have proven time and time again that they will get outraged but they’ll never actually do anything about it.
For now. But eventually they do. That’s how entire governments have fallen time and time again.
They won’t stop playing Xbox. They won’t stop buying games. People grow increasingly accepting of advertising and invasive business practices every day.
Indeed. People can get used to a lot. But being used to something isn’t the same as being ok with it. No-one I know is ok with there being ads on their tvs, phones and laptops. Living with something isn’t the same as accepting it. People are tolerating more BS than ever, but that doesn’t mean they wont rally the second there’s a way out of it.
Remember how angry everyone was at horse armor? Most people wouldn’t think twice about it these days. It’s so much worse now.
I still am. So are many others. Remember when people thought NMS would be a good game on day one? Remember when Fallout 76 was going to be bigger and better than 4? Remember Concord? Remember when Overwatch was going to have a story?
Every fuckup, is another portion of the masses getting the memo. And the fuckups aren’t stopping. If anything there’s more of them than ever.
These corporations used to be afraid of looking bad, but mistakes happen. Except when they did, and stocks didn’t suddenly implode, their takeaway was they could horrible, and still make a profit. Because yeah, most people don’t learn the first time. But what about the second? Or the third? Or the tenth?
If you ask me, given time, the one thing every person on this planet can do, is learn. Eventually.
The only reason Roblox and Fortnite keep growing is that there are markets they haven’t penetrated. Finding new customers faster than the old ones leave doesn’t work forever. There are only so many humans on this planet.
Meanwhile, indie games with actual passion behind them and fair business practices that still feed the mouths of the devs, without private equity firms in the middle sucking up all the value, are absolutely exploding.
XBOX is dying. MS won’t say it, but they are less involved in the game-industry than ever. This price hike is a death-throw. Not the next step in their master plan to dominate the market forever.
IMO, the only gaming mega-corporation with the goodwill to exist 20 years from now is Nintendo, and even they are burning through the nostalgia people have for them faster than ever before in their insanely long history.

Ok?
It’s not sustainable. Tricking people faster than they wise up to your BS is not a business model that leads to a healthy content, customer base. And if it’s what EVERYONE does, you get an unhappy SOCIETY.
No-one will enjoy where that leads, and is already leading.
It’s a ratcheting mechanism. Unless something about capitalism changes SIGNIFICANTLY the masses will simple become angrier and angrier.

Yes. And that shit is a one-way door.
Every customer you piss off the way you are pissed off, is A LOT less likely to be a return customer.

Oh that is gonna piss people off.
Your ads ar not gonna work the way you think they’ll work, when every person who sees them is gonna feel like it’s a middle finger.
