  • Thoughts on (semi-)automated tool to import content from /r/rust to this community?

    Jump

  • it still 99% of time can point you towards someone (or severely limit the options and you can track them down from that) assuming its not common enough of one and its still something that uniquely separates people even without that. (And from the username here people can look up the user on reddit and then look up their post history for info on them as well)

    ‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person; (GDPR Art. 4)

    an online identifier

    Not a lawyer so I cant fully speak on it but I would rather err on the side of caution when dealing with this sort of thing until I get actual legal confirmation otherwise specific to our site and this

    Platforms like discord (and reddit) need to anonymize the messages when someone deletes their account by assigning it to a generic deleted user thats used for everyone

  • Will respond to both of your message here

    Starting with the one at the top. GDPR encompases more than just PII. The messages themselves are mostly not covered but usernames are (as its a unique identifier that distinguishes one person from another (and if you want to go in terms of PII it can be used to easily identify a person as well)) as well as misc information that might be in the messages (e.g. if someone says they work for X company or says their actual name)

    If you can make it so none of the messages you post are affected by that (every message posted is done by the same user, messages are filtered to remove any with personal data) (and optimally also get approval of the OP) then I would be more inclined to accept it (but up to the discretion of the mods of the community, not a site wide approval). Sure I can revise it to the 25% rule, ill make it 25% with a max

  • They defederated from both programming.dev and sh.itjust.works recently since they held a vote and they had enough upvotes to do so. Reasoning for programming.dev was due to people in our instance coming in there with supposedly bad takes but I feel like thats a major overreaction to block an entire instance of people with different views (with the different views appearing due to it not being political at all inside the instance) due to a couple people going in there instead of just moderating the individual users. The message to defederate from us also only has 13 upvotes and was both programming.dev and sh.itjust.works which I feel isnt really a majority opinion of their instance if they want one since it confounds the upvotes of two different instances and is a relatively low amount for their monthly active users

  • Reposting from the python post you did just to make sure you see it

    Just wanted to let you know that we dont allow reposting of comments made on other platforms in this instance (both for spam reasons and tends to be a mess with gdpr). Link posts with no text are fine as long as you get approval from a moderator of a community or by one of the admins for site wide usage (and then allow moderators to opt out), and follow our bot guidelines that you can find in the sidebar on our site. Id be willing to greenlight the bot for sitewide usage as long as you remove the comments, make posts links only (links to the content, not the reddit post) and limit it to maximum 10 posts a day across the instance (max 2 in a specific community) (and also make sure you dont repost stuff already posted in the community). We have another bot called reddit x-poster that its been working fairly well with but they hang out in a couple communities like haskell

    In terms of this community itself it doesnt really need help with posting. Its got more than 200 monthly active users already and around 4 posts every day

  • Gives us way more control over what the site looks like and can let us add frontend for features made in pangora.

    The main issues in lemmy ui tends to be more about visuals rather than features. It doesn't look great when you're using it. The lemmy devs are also making their own new frontend as well in rust

  • We do have a soft fork for the instance getting built up to add features on top of lemmy

    Pangora is soft forked so we get changes pulled from lemmy and add new features we need for the site onto their changes (that can then push to go upstream or have for ourselves if they don't want that feature)

    Pangora-UI is built from scratch to replace lemmy-ui as a frontend for the site

    Defederation requests, how to?

    Jump

  • Currently the process has been to request it in meta since I didnt think it would be common enough to flood out other meta posts and since its meta about the instance, ill check out burggit and report back with what will happen to it (whether that be defederation, purging specific communities, or nothing)

    Update: I have defederated from burggit for two main reasons

    1. They ignore DMCA requests and dont follow it. We get a copy of all of their posts due to how federation works and since this rule is instance wide it can easily apply to a new community in the future if we purge current ones. We dont have the manpower to handle other instances continually breaking the law and then us needing to deal with that with takedowns
    2. pornographic content illegal in the us, same reason as above

  • Seems like it was supposed to be a hashtag rather than a community ping or something since its from mastodon. Ill let the mods decide what to do with it for now and if nothings been done in 6 hours ill just delete it from here

  • Version manager for pre releases since you probably don't want your main game on a pre release version but you can have a test project to test that version

    Having same editor version for mods so things like bugs are the same

    And when collaborating with others as well normally you stick to a certain version so you can do that while maybe doing latest version for a personal project

  • Yeah this is the best spot atm in the instance, its a catchall community for programming things in the instance. The ios dev community is currently going through the community request process and then this can be crossposted into there

  • This was a cross post rather than a direct post to the community so it acts the same as if its posted on two different communities here like a lemmy cross post (with different threads based on the community the post is on)

    If someone on mastodon commented on this version of the thread their comment would show up here

  • Why is programming.dev federated with exploding heads?

    Jump

  • The instance is currently federated with every instance (including places like lemmygrad and explodingheads) as the current stance is defederation should be a last resort with users being able to choose what they want to see instead

    Exploding heads has some very questionable content though so its status is currently being discussed by the admins
