Is their a service on the Fediverse where, an instance mod can filter out specific keywords.
Mastodon, being popular, has a feature with filter blocking. But no such feature for the mods them selves. Is/should their be an option where moderators can auto block potentially offensive words used in uses posts, on their local timeline or beyond?
Opensource games, safe or just as vulnerable as web browsers?
Does an open source game from Frozenbubble or Super Tux have any types pf vulnerabilities to worry about like a web browser might or is it safe to just download it, with no worries. As long it’s downloaded from safe repositories?
Peertube-Why subscription services are bad. (playlist)
I put together a playlist on Peertube specifically about why subscription services are bad. Some videos are about the specific term subscription service, others are about specific type of subscription services like adobe. Watch this to learn how to escape these paid services, and about alternatives.
I think homebrew emulation for retro console is sweet, game companies not so much(Nintendo, etc)
Some homebrew games are ports of some legit original games, some are even open source ports like Hex-a-hop, which has been ported to the 3DS. Companies like Nintendo just can’t stand the idea of their systems being unlocked due to the new ability to pirate their games. It doesn’t even matter if you have pirated, to them, they’l fight to push laws against modding consoles as well. Bad on their part.
Favorite default post sorting setting on Lemmy?
I know people like to set everything to new and just leave it at all. Especially when you just got out of an algorithm abusive environment on major social media platforms. For me, I started using the “hot” sorting method rather then the new and active sorting methods. Granted I started out with the “new”. Heres why. Some new posts don’t get comments. There are sometimes duplicate posts that do get comments that are talking about the same topic. What hot setting does is essentially, keep newer posts that are active with comments active. Score has an impact, but as a post gets older itself then others will rise despite how high the score was. Making this I think my current preferred. In other words hot is a slight modification to active setting. Active doesn’t factor the date of the post with scaling. And it even I think beats the algorithms since I know how it’s working and that it might not change behind my back (looking at you Youtube.). Last remarks: What are your favorite setting and/or perspectives on post sorting?
