Lol, you can tell which commenters have never moderated anything in this thread, IMO. If it weren't for the high likelihood that these summaries will be wrong an appreciable percentage of the time, this would be a huge help for anyone moderating medium traffic subs. Those types of subs, especially if they have relatively hands-on moderation to keep them from being complete cesspools, often involve seeing a comments or post that is borderline, and feeling like you need to go look through the poster's history to figure out if they're a bot or a troll. Something like this that actually worked, especially if it linked back to a sampling of the posts/comments that it is referencing, would be a big help in that. Also something like this that summarized a user's moderation history would be pretty useful.
I've really enjoyed seeing some of the collabs pop up on Youtube over the last couple of months. I was surprised and really pleased by the Bloodywood collab, and I thought it was really cool that they had Bloodywood opening for them on their US tour. Haven't dived into the album proper, yet, but I'll give it a listen soon.
i can watch out for myself
The evidence of you posting all over another Lemmy instance encouraging people to go kill cops makes me think you didn't learn your fucking lesson.
Sorry if it seems like you're being scolded - that's not my intention. I think it's fine to post something like this, but maybe I'm the future a brief explanation of why you found it worth posting would be helpful to get the discussion started - either in the post body or a comment.
Hi @BevelGear - Could you clarify a bit what kind of discussion you're after by posting this? Also, most folks on Beehaw are probably not lawyers so posting a supreme court ruling without any commentary or clarification probably isn't the most conducive to good discussion.
I can certainly understand wanting to keep your exposure to these topics to a certain time and not be bombarded throughout the day. A lot of us would probably be better off if that was something we could do. That said, I think Gaywallet is right that this will be difficult due to the way that Beehaw is - our communities are a lot broader than ones on, say, reddit or other Lemmy instances for the most part, which means that a "no politics" rule is going to be impractical in a lot of cases.
How do you normally browse Lemmy/Beehaw? If you're accessing via browser it may be more difficult, but if you mostly browse on Mobile using a Lemmy app I know that some of them have keyword filters that you might be able to use to catch some of these types of posts. The School Lunch example would probably be difficult, but the other two you could probably have prevented from showing up in your feed with a filter like that.
When I'm browsing on Android I've been using Voyager which I know has a filter like this under "Filters and Blocks" in the settings menu.
I have a sh.itjust.works account that I use to join meme communities there and on .world + a few other instances. The comments are a cesspool but the memes are...reasonably dank?
Not sure I understand this take. The game was a commercial product, Fromsoft made it to sell to people. That doesn't preclude it from being art, and a film adaptation being made of it also doesn't preclude that.
A24 has a pretty good reputation for taking risks, and they're an independent production company. Seems like probably the best possible way something like an Elden Ring film could be made, IMO.
I've been somewhat surprised by Amy Coney Barrett. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with her, but I've been surprised by her willingness to break with the conservative majority, and I'm surprised by her recusal here. Still - the fact that this is a 4-4 ruling is horrifying
I've really enjoyed it, and it's been a breath of fresh air for this friend group that was really struggling to find stuff to play together. We used to get deep into a lot of survival crafting type games, think Ark and Conan, but several of us had gotten pretty burned out on those, and most of the multiplayer stuff we were interested in either didn't grab everybody or was limited to just a few players. Stuff like Helldivers being only 4 players meant that not all of us could play together, which felt bad. These multiworld games, though, mean that we can all get on a discord call and kick the runs off at the same time, and it feels like we're playing together as we call out stuff we're sending to each other or items we need, but then we can wrap the runs up over the course of the next week as we have time. Plus there are enough games that most folks have been able to find something that feels comfortable for them.
I've gotten sucked into the rabbit hole that is multiworld randomizers lately. I've done several smaller multiworlds with a group of friends (4-8 players) all playing different games, and a week or so ago got involved in a larger one (15 or so players) that was organized on a forum I frequent. All of these have been through Archipelago, and if you're not familiar with multiworld randomizers their FAQ is a decent introduction. I've played a few different games in these - Minecraft, Wind Waker, and most recently Balatro, and all of them have been really interesting and fun ways to play games that I was already pretty familiar with. Also, my regular gaming group has had trouble finding multiplayer games that we all want to play recently, and these archipelago multiworlds make it so that we can play something together without all having to agree on what to play, plus you can play asynchronously so we can start together but then finish runs out as we have time. It's been really cool and I'm jonesing for more.
This is one of those stories that probably isn't actually all that noteworthy - the reporter doesn't have any actual idea how many people are living in the community, but estimates around 40 - but the details are all just waaaaay too good not to run with it. The original article starts out wild and only gets wilder as it goes. There's even a guest appearance from Shen Yun at one point. Just check out the first three paragraphs and you can see exactly why this story got written:
