⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

I'm so angry I'm shaking while typing this. Many others and I have reported this one alone, and it's still here! It looks like it's gotten more tabs to try to hide.

Please. Ban this filth. This is NOT okay.

There is no valid reason for children to be made on a generator that allows NSFW. And some of the tabs are filthy when I think of them in the context of CP.

Idk I think you can screen for that on your hosted service pretty easy. It has to store the data somewhere and it can be checked. Dont act like its impossible its not it is probably costly and that's why this is possible.

Yeah, they can scan, and as soon as they start doing that, people who want to host it there anyway will start testing things to see what triggers removal and use what they learn to circumvent the scan. The host then refines the scan and catches the new tricks. Then belligerent actors will start probing for even newer tricks, which will eventually be put in new scans, which will eventually be circumvented by the newest tricks.

That said, maybe Perchance could reasonably be doing more. I don't know from this one instance. But this sort of thing is very much not a solved problem, and it's not so simple as "just scan for it", so I'm hesitant to blame Perchance without evidence it's more systemic.
