Who do all of these run on x86 systems? There is no functional reason tp have a PC in there.
I used to have a job supporting devices like these. You don’t need a lot of power to run these and you can get a used device exceptionally cheap that can probably do the job most of the time. You can get really old too if the resolution on the image isn’t too high, probably not actually older than ARM, but old enough where you wonder how close it is for a second.
So they use 2nd hand hardware? Because I was thinking sth like a raspberry pi nano would be better suited for this.
What else are you going to do with that old laptop?
I believe that this post would have fit better in [email protected]. That said I’m not going to remove this post because I’m very open to what’s allowed on this community. My idea is to just tag the posts according to the content when the post tags get finally implemented into lemmy. Initially I wanted to be much more strict in the content there but later on realised that lemmy is too small for splitting the communities into different kinds of “hmmm”. My current policy is to remove posts that are fully missing any “hmmm” and otherwise let them be unless they are trolly or break the instance rules. If anyone has any feedback on that please respond to me here. 🧐
I will crosspost, thanks. Was not aware of this community, and felt hmmm was better than pics, but wasn’t 100% sure
No probs. <3
My feedback is that your job should be basically nothing. If someone posts something, great!
If it’s not trying to spread hate, and it’s not causing any issues, you don’t need to do hardly anything to moderate.
A few weeks ago I saw an AI generated youtube video showing the teenage mutant ninja turtles as a “new movie”, with a more adult tone. Not like porn or anything, just more gritty and dark. I thought it was cool as hell. So I posted it with a title like “This AI TMNT mockup is awesome!” Post removed by mod with the explaination “Get that AI crap outta here!”
Sorry. I was just trying to share unofficial content with a userbase that I thought would enjoy it.
And that’s the story of how I no longer post there. Which ultimately hurts their community. Sure, maybe only a small bit, but it’s one less user. You may not even like the video I posted. But you can downvote. If the whole community downvotes, it means nobody wanted to see that, and future content should not be posted.
If the content is deleted before anybody sees it, it tells me the community is policed to the point of censureship, and I am no longer interested in even visiting AT ALL even if I’m interested in the content.
Same thing happened in the game grumps community. If you go there, it’s just one guy. Posting every single video the game grumps post. With no engagement, no comments, no other posts besides the community founder. So I thought “Wow. This community needs some engagement.” So I posted a wheel of fortune video from youtube, of the actual show. One of the things the game grumps are known for, is playing wheel of fortune, and blurting out hilariously wrong answers.
So I found a video where a woman on the actual show screamed out “A CANADIAN MURDER!!!” And posted it. Because that’s the same kind of humor. I put in the title “Not the grumps directly, but I feel this is the same spirit”
It got no engagement for 3 weeks. Then after I had even forgotten I posted it, I got a message saying the video had been deleted, with the message “This doesn’t belong here”.
I guess you’re right. It doesn’t belong there, and neither do I. Despite watching 1-2 grumps videos a week, I have not yet returned to a community that may as well be a bot reposting youtube links.
My main message here is moderating when there are trolls, or hate is fine…but moderating for the sake of moderating just kills engagement.
The point isn’t moderating for the sake of moderating but moderating for the sake of actually distinguishing the communities in content. I can put out a point that posting to a community for the sake of posting isn’t great either. There needs to be a balance but it’s hard to get it correctly sometimes. What’s the point of c/mildyinfuriating when very infuriating stuff gets posted there? What’s the point of c/technology when it’s just politics? And so on. The concept of communities is to divide the content into chunks where people can pick and follow their preference but if there’s no moderation then that kills the concept behind it because each community would be one and the same. What I’m trying to say is that because there are mods that aren’t moderating “properly” depending on the perspective it’s not a good argument to not moderate anything anymore. Lemmy is already heavily unmoderated anyway as it is and focusing on engagement over allowing people to have their feeds be catered to their preferences isn’t ideal imo. Additionally I think that being unable to create a feed of stuff you like hurts the engagement more long-term because that’s the point of platforms like lemmy anyway to have topic centered communities.
E: For example I’m enforcing the “hmmm” title rule. If I were to give it up and allow whatever titles people want the community would lose a lot of personality and there wouldn’t be fun of figuring out things in picture for yourself anymore.
I agree and disagree with different parts of what you’re saying. It comes down to context really.
Going to /c/Technology, and posting about politics can be still be valid. For example, I read a headline that trump is using AI to create large amounts of new bills to overwhelm our political system which is intentionally designed to work at a snails pace. I haven’t read the article, but if I’m understanding right, it’s both a tech story, and a political story. It could aldo be posted in FuckAI.
But if someone posted something in /c/Technology where the story was Bernie Sanders supports bill to cancel student debt, that’s not a tech story.
But as seen before, there are some things that can fit into multiple communities of different types.
I just base it on “is there a discussion that can be had on our topic based on our community?”. If yes, and it’s not something that causes issues, let it roll.
I agree with the general spirit of what you’re saying, but not the tone, if that makes sense. I just feel it’s a case of let some leniency through, for the sake of not gatekeeping a small growing platform. Even maybe let some smaller infractions slide if it’s not actually hurting anyone.
Yeah, I just threw some examples about why the moderation is still needed even if the posts aren’t malicious and gave a bad example there. It’s just that I see a lot of posts with big traction in communities where the content doesn’t fit even if you stretch it so I shared my perspective on why this is an issue.
That’s just EUFI, isn’t it?
Yeah, not a BSoD. Just booted to BIOS.
