@DepthSight@lemmy.world you made this post right in the middle of a bigger conversation around promotional posts, so be aware that this post may be removed later pending the outcome of that discussion in the meta thread here:
https://lemmy.world/post/48462124/24369166
For everyone else, here is why I’m leaving the thread up:
- Its entirely open source (agpl)
- Its self-hosted
- There is no paywall, only a donation spot.
Here is where I see a potential problem:
- New account just to post this, account named after the project
- There is a share-by-default function - which can be disabled, and privacy features are noted, but worth highlighting this here:
By default, DepthSight client nodes connect to the centralized Federation Hub to enable shared community features like verified strategy templates, discussion boards, public leaderboard ranking, and the live global node network topology map.
For those coming here and reporting, please be aware this doesn’t blatantly break any rules imo, only the (extremely subjective) rule 2, which I don’t think fits for the reasons I noted above. Making a good reference for discussion in the meta.
No worries, everyone gets caught up sometimes even me. Thats why its just a bunch of removals.
There’s no respect in that statement and thats not appropriate here. Lets calm it down and keep it a discussion, not aggression and attacks.
This is not an app promo community. This is a self-hosting community, and your post doesn’t fit here.
LockingRemoving the post, now that I see there isn’t discussion in comments other than your choice of “PH”.
Hey, would gladly welcome the project, but I want to point out that this is the /c/selfhosted community - so neat as a public service, but this is the wrong community.
Once you are ready to post the code / set this up for self-hosting, please feel free to repost.
Until then, I’ll be locking the post.
Its also entirely wrong, as I’ve noted to you now many times.
I’m also letting you know politely that coming in with an attitude like that will not be accepted here.
I replied to you because your comment was reported for rule #1. Just because the last mod was lax with managing comments and overzealous with their interpretation of rule #3 doesn’t mean I will be.
To put it bluntly - be civil or don’t be here.
Whats in the post title is blaming users. Its incorrect.
I’d recommend you reconsider who needs to work on their reading comprehension, as well as the attitude coming in here. This is a community, and one where we don’t need to come in and attack/name call, especially when you’ve fundamentally misunderstood the issue.
Yep! And got all the old reports cleaned up to boot
I’d re-read what I said then - again, it was not users deleting their content, but the former moderator. People downvoting were likely responding to the blame being placed on the users - aka, the members of this community - when they were not to blame. The people you just referred to as moronic leeches with the reading comprehension of a potato who were, again, not to blame.
I suspect people who realized it was the former moderator removing the posts, and not the users themselves.
We don’t need to be unpleasant to disagreethough, so going forward lets try to avoid that.
And I’ll use your comment as my post here for a local mod appointment of my lw account!
I actually do want tagging of some sort, I think its a sensible approach overall. I think its a quick way to identify that your project used AI and people can quickly filter, per your example.
That said, I think that should be a separate item, and I don’t want to inundate with stickies either. That was going to be my next “oh look a mod is annoying us with his opinion again” post, but then we ended up seeing a ton of promo content this week. I’m trying to stick to a mod post every week or two so everyone has a chance to see and respond to things.
That said, if you want to get that discussion ball rolling, feel free to make a meta post about it of course!
