Lemmy’s mod tools have gained notoriety for their limited functionality, and unfortunately, mods often miss out on timely notifications about user reports. To address this issue, we’re seeking additional vigilant eyes to ensure that reports are promptly handled.

What We’re Seeking:

• Engaged Community Members: We’re looking for individuals actively involved in the Lemmy platform and its community.
• Dedicated Moderators: People willing to proactively check lemmy.world in their browser for mod reports multiple times a day.
• Respectful and Positive Contributors: We value individuals who treat others with kindness and have a history of positive posts and comments within the community. If you are frequently downvoted or reported upon, your application won’t be considered.
• Adherence to Community Rules: Moderators should enforce rules based on both the community guidelines and the .world server rules outlined here.

Bonus Points:

If you’re located in Europe, Asia, Australia, or similar time zones, that’s a plus! We need moderators who can keep an eye on things while our American counterparts are catching some Z’s.

DM me if you're interested!

I find them great to relax to. Most of it is terrific chillout music and visuals.

> The demoscene is an international computer art subculture focused on producing demos: self-contained, sometimes extremely small, computer programs that produce audiovisual presentations. The purpose of a demo is to show off programming, visual art, and musical skills. Demos and other demoscene productions (graphics, music, videos, games) are shared, voted on and released online at festivals known as demoparties.

This was an interview on ABC (Australian public broadcaster) with Signal Foundation president Meredith Whittaker. It covered current events about Signal and encrypted messaging, with a small bit on AI at the end. The original title of the video is bad.

Key points in the video:

• 1:30 - Should platforms be held responsible for [the content]
• 3:15 - (paraphrased) Governments want law enforcement to have access to encrypted communications, why not?
• 4:15 - (paraphrased) What if people are using it for criminal behaviour
• 7:00 - (paraphrased) Random AI section

Jon Stewart is outstanding, but also this video seems like one of his better ones. Aside from gun issues specifically, part of what makes this great is his calling the for-profit media sources out for their hypocrisy and willful ignorance, and callousness to the lives of innocents including our children.

This is a hilarious one-off from Oxventure where they combine Pokemon with D&D mechanics.
