Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneMto Blahaj Lemmy Meta@lemmy.blahaj.zone•lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month1·1 month agoAt the moment, we have the ability to take our eyes off of things for a while. Because applicants are screened, we don’t get many bigots or spammers getting through. And our mod bot allows trusted users to ban and delete all content from new accounts (whether they’re local or remote). So we have trusted users that can watch for new people joining and then act on any bigoted ones that do slip through the cracks.
So whilst I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking my eyes off of things for a week or more, I feel quite comfortable not looking at lemmy for a day or two. We’ve travelled several times since spinning the instance up, and even then, checking in once every couple of days has been enough to keep on top of things with the tools we have.
Which is not to say we don’t need to do anything else. The real vulnerability at the moment is if Kaity or I go involuntarily inactive for a longer period of time for some reason. But until we have “server moderators” as an option, I’m not sure how to develop the rapport required to bring additional admins on. It’s not not simply a matter of trusting someone, but also ensuring that they share the same vision for what this space is and what it should be, and at the moment, there are very few avenues to do that. I know from experience that bringing instance level moderators on in our other spaces that do support them, such as sharkey and matrix has been challenging to say the least, so it’s something we need to take particular care with.
Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneMto Blahaj Lemmy Meta@lemmy.blahaj.zone•lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month1·1 month agoIf I could add an instance level moderator that didn’t have full admin permissions, I’d do so in a heart beat. As it is though, it’s hard to trust the keys to the castle when the only avenue for building trust is lemmy interactions.
That being said, we do have a bot admin that trusted users have access to, that Kaity developed, which helps us deal with spammers and throwaway bigot accounts.
Also, we don’t actually have that much going on in terms of moderation workload. Our sign ups are manually approved, but our bot helps with that so it’s not all on me. Our large communities have active mods. So I’m lucky if I have to look at more than 3 or 4 reports a day.
Also, if we ever reach the burnout point, we would hand the community over before taking it down.
Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Fediverse@lemmy.world•TubeFree is a new Peertube by BT FreeEnglish1·1 month agoAt the moment, its challenging for creators to generate income from Peertube. In theory, the avenue they have is through patreons and the like, but in practice, peertube doesn’t yet have the volume of users to make that work. And as a result, it’s going to be hard to use any kind of “premium/paid” tier service, simply because there won’t be many takers.
In my mind, right now, if you’re trying to attract creators, you’re going to need to reduce as many barriers as you can for them to move over. That may mean co-existing accounts on bigtech platforms and on peertube, and in terms of helping with your running costs, voluntary donations are the best way of doing it for now, until peertube gets a larger volume of users.
Either way, we spun up our own peertube instance a few weeks ago too, so welcome to the vidiverse :)

The whole gender thing? And I say that as a trans person. It’s real, but I can’t explain it…
Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever had an experience you can't explain?31·2 months agoThat feels off somehow, or at least, the unsolved problem part isn’t as narrow as that makes it seem.
I can recognise a place, just like a face. I don’t eliminate options, I just recognise it. I can recognise voices the same way.
I don’t understand how faces are different in this context?

Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharingEnglish0·2 months agoI guess I haven’t noticed that. The non technically literate folk I know use smart TVs, or can download Jellyfin from an app store. Then they just use the URL when the app asks for it.
There’s no other configuring to do on their end.

You can have the hair, but you’ll have to fight Kaity for the curling iron! :P
If only I could give you mine!
