When on programming.dev's communities, please follow our Code of Conduct. Your comment currently violates section 3.2 and 3.5
Reminder that our Code of Conduct (3.2, 3. 5) applies even on communities outside our instance. If you keep breaking those rules we may give you a temporary ban.
Due to federation delays it's best to run the LiveThreadBot on the local instance. I'll keep the lemmy.world bot alive for now for people over at [email protected], but for [email protected] it's best to use the local @[email protected]
This is your second warning to not break our CoC (3.2).
A third warning will result in a temporary ban from programming.dev.
I can only report on what I've been told by those who have directly dealt with the reports, my apologies if parts of the phrasing are inaccurate/poorly made. I'll make a note that we should probably reach out to relevant moderators beforehand next time we make similar actions.
As for differing sensibilities, I'm not sure most people would classify this kind of content as safe to browse at work/in public.
Regardless, we are not here to make demands or argue on how other instances moderate their own content. This post is made mainly to keep our actions transparent to our local users.
Hiding communities outside our predefined rules (politics, porn and bot spam) isn't something we take lightly, and we are only hiding them now after several months of reoccurring reports that break our instance rules (3.4).
We will do our best to be transparent about when and why we hide a new communities, and be aware that subscribing to a hidden community will unhide it for your feed.
If you do have concerns and suggestions on how to alleviate those, please know that we are happy receive feedback.
Remember that our CoC applies even on communities outside our instance. Try to avoid personal attacks and telling people to harm themselves per CoC 3.2 and 3.7. Continued failure to do so will lead to a temporary or permanent ban.
There are 282 communities marked as hidden in our database, I'll have a talk with the team about publishing a complete list.
The current spread looks something like this:
For the eagle eyed people out there, the map is 2 communities short. The basic script I wrote couldn't find them.
