How much Moderation should a forum based social media have? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[โ€“] IonTempted@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I do agree and you are right that it depends on the community for example r/politics which is a really large subreddit that attracts all different kinds of users has to be way more strict than let's say a niche small community, but what I also didn't mention that receiving a permanent ban out of nowhere is harsh especially because a bot said so, to me a permanent ban should be enforced for the absolute worst of the worst situations, like harassment, doxxing and illegal porn.

But yeah my point is that if you are going to be that strict at least be fair and have actual admins checking your appeals and if they still say no, then all good.

Why do you hate AI? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Depends on what you classify as AI anymore

I work with Video Editing software and you could argue that a lot of features on softwares like Davinci, Capcut, Premiere all use different helpful tools that could or could not be AI, Artificial Intelligence existed long before companies slapped the term into every product. Nowadays even TVs have "AI" processors which is just a fancy way of saying just a CPU.

I do believe it still should be an Open source tool that we can use for good, for example helping fighting against cancer but knowing we live in such a planet it will be used for worse rather than good and it depends on who trains it and for what purpose because we train AI.

I do care about Art like Movies, Books and the Movie industry so far seems to be the only one who fights against AI being used as lazy work, there are possibly Video Games that use AI text to speech for NPCs or something but there are a lot of directors who speak passionatelly against it which is good to see.

At the end of the day it's a tool and it will depend on how we use it. We can use it to do good things, but also drive more people out of jobs and helping with endless wars, I have a feeling the latter will be true but we'll see.

I'm going to use three examples.

  1. Reddit, High Moderation the absolute worst: I've seen many people including myself get wrongfully banned from that website, It has the strongest moderation possible that feels a bit authoritarian. It tracks your device with an ID and your IP albeit for 100 days. I've seen people getting banned because they were protesting against "ICE" as "Violence" I've known people getting banned on r/suicidewatch because when someone reports you on Reddit sometimes there's a bot saying "Hey, we are here for you" which is again crazy ironic that they don't have a team handling these sort of issues, not that it's their job to do so but due to Reddit's aggression with Bots and Filters it feels like hell.

I posted a NSFW themed meme on an NSFW community and within seconds the post was removed due to Reddit's filters leading with a permanent ban, What are Reddit's filters and what classifies as a "filter" who knows. I sent an appeal saying that my alt got banned wrongly (same email) but I know that they won't bother to check. Leaving someone with no choice other to start clean again which is against their rules as a Ban Evasion however I still believe it was a wrong decision so I'm worthy of another chance.

You can argue after Reddit's controversies with r/the_donald and a subreddit where there were people literally dying on camera, Reddit enforced harsher rules which is understandable, but what they still don't understand is that in case there's a mistake you need to have better ways of communicating with an actual person, the appeal message is 250 Characters long and that's it. There are literal Nazis there who haven't been banned but I did just because of a meme.

  1. Lemmy, The Perfect Middle Ground: This website pretty much is in line with what I believe, that there should be moderation but without any stupid filters, karma requirements and power tripping mods, Is it because it's a much smaller community than reddit? Maybe. Will the rules ever change if Lemmy gets much more popular, Who knows?

  2. 4Chan. The wild west: Almost to zero moderation, which to me is a bad thing because there will be people who will abuse that system and post illegal stuff and be borderline mental, I don't think I need to say more about that website.

To be fair there's still moderation, for example after the GamerGate drama posts on /v/ about specific people or e-celebrities is prohibited.

Is it true that one of the reasons VHS beat Betamax was porn? (lemmynsfw.com)
 

I'm quite younger so I wasn't around that format war but depends on who you ask you get different responses.

Question: How do I use "Secure Chat" and what are the differences (lemmynsfw.com)
 

Reddit had a PM which is basically sending a Private Message, Lemmy has that as well but Reddit also had chat which I enjoyed because it popped up as a small window on the bottom of the screen and I could use Reddit and chat at the same time.

Are these similar in a way? Thank you for your help, I'm new to Lemmy but I'm enjoying my stay so far.

What do you think makes someone a "Father figure?" (lemmynsfw.com)
 

Coming from someone who is "childfree" and in my line of work sometimes maybe most of the times, I think I see dads that maybe shouldn't have been.

I get that I'm harsh, and I can't tell from one example obviously but I feel sometimes there's social pressure to have kids.

So for you, What makes you a father figure.
