  • This is an ad. At least tuta marked it but that doesn’t make it way better.

    All YouTube “options” are YouTube frontends. All android “alternatives” are android - which isn’t the guides fault as there are none in my opinion. Still unserious from my point of view.

    It’s once more a catch all “guide” that doesn’t guide but simply mentions enough popular alternatives to get popularity.


  • I’m not talking about usability, just about the foundation. Besides what others already said about why it’s not a good idea to answer your specific question regarij moderation tooling is:

    Your requirements are incompatible with decentralization. Every moderation tool will have to use the network itself which means a moderation event has a significant delay in which the content has a “head start”.

    There is no way to have an instant kill switch for content or a centralized gated release of content.

    And at the end everyone can spin up an instance and decide on moderation, after all - and decide on the moderation rules there. This will cause an even bigger delay until the malicious instance is blacklisted by others.



  • They are employed by themselves. They are not employed AS anything else. You have it right just your conclusion is inconsistent.

    It’s for me not about the wording of the last paragraph by the way but about the context and requirements list which makes the impression (to me) of offering an employee/employer relationship which is only broken up in the last line. That’s the part I really don’t like.

    This kind of advertisement would be illegal in Germany btw as it would encourage pseudo self employment: someone self employed who is relying on one client only. (And no, not exaggerated: I’ve a legal department at least pull job description from the tech dept similar to this).








  • I’m with what @BCsven@lemmy.ca said: get s mixed box if unsure.

    That said: highly depending on her age and interests as well there is no need to go deeper into specific bricks.

    After all the only thing that prevents a couple of 4x2 to become an airplane is imagination. Or a fire, a house, an animal.

    So I suggest depending on age and interest to just talk with her and adjust accordingly.

    And: especially Lego can be sometimes sniped used in big mixed boxes at flea markets and the likes - something that would bring s but of lootbox excitement in your lifes without the downsides;)




  • I see your point but there is one major difference between adults and children: adults are by default fully responsible for themselves z children are not.

    As for your question: I won’t blame the parents here in the slightest because they will likely put more than enough blame on themselves. Instead I’ll try to keep it general:

    Independent of technology, what a parent can do is learn behavior and communication patterns that can be signs of mental illness.

    That’s independent of the technology.

    This is a big task because the border between normal puberty and behavior that warrants action is slim to non-existent.

    Overall I wish for way better education for parents both in terms of age appropriate patterns as well as what kind of help is available to them depending on their country and culture.


  • The first part is a technical question and the second part a definition one.

    For the how to: the most common approach is to simply blacklist their IPs on a provider basis. This leads to no provider that obeys your blacklists to allow their users traffic to that target. Usually all providers in a nation obey that nations law (I assume, I only know that for my own :D)

    For the censorship: I don’t like that word because it’s implications fan be used against any and all laws. A shitload of content is made inaccessible because it breaks laws from active coordination of attacks to human trafficking. All of this can be described as censorship.

    Forthe UK law it’s… I’m not British and to me it appears to be a vague tool to silence and control all types of content under the guise of protecting children. Not with the intention to protect or prevent something but with the intent to control. I would fully understand and emphasize with using the word censorship in this context.



  • Just as a heads-up: expect some pushback just for asking.

    In general buying accounts is frowned upon on all private trackers I’m aware of, including the rule to ban bought accounts on sight.

    Several private trackers give out VIP status for people buying seed boxes through them though I guess there are some where you’d get an account in the first place through this.

    It all depends on your goals. Personally I wouldn’t trust account sellers. I don’t see a way for them to get accounts without it being quite easily identifyable for the respective pages.

    Personally I went the “hard” route but never tried to push into the cabal tier private trackers.

    Just remember to not screw your account within the first hours by not taking care of your ratio and the trackers rules.
