My cousin’s husband is pissing in the sink then, after his operation for testicular cancer left him in the “none of the above” category.
Which tools specifically?
Standard Web forum tools include:
- Editing posts - the main issue is misleading titles
- Moving posts to different communities
- Merging posts
- Splitting comments into separate posts
- IP check
This post makes some good points about reports federating (being worked on, I believe) but also about the lack of what we’ll call a “moderation panel” where you can access tools for the community, like seeing a list of banned users and being able to add to it there or unban someone.
There are other “nice to have” tools like post approval
I am curious to see what moderation tools PieFed, has and NodeBB now they are federated, but the documentation is skimpy on that front.
It shouldn’t be too difficult. A move is essentially a cross-post but it keeps the OP as the poster (rather than the cross-poster). You’d then want to lock the original post, and either hide it or add a message directing people to the new post. That’s all current forum software does.
From my perspective we need better Mod and Admin tools. Forum software has a lot of them but Lemmy is lacking in this department.
The key important one is being able to move posts to different communities. You’ll often get reports of posts not being appropriate for a community but there is no way to actually move it.
Although, looking around, this channel has a “support” button with PayPal and Patreon links. It’s a little crude but works.
For ease of use, it probably has to be a bit slicker and “one-click” but it’s a start.
without ad revenue or subscription revenue I don’t know how quality content can come to PeerTube.
I saw a video where a YouTube channel broke down their income (I’ll try and find it but there are probably similar ones out there) and the amount coming directly from ads was quite small. Other sources of money include:
- Sponsorship
- YouTube’s built in subscription
- External subscriptions like Patreon
- Merchandise
- Physical media deals
Like Spotify, the cut from streaming isn’t great but those on it can leverage their profile in other ways.
The Fediverse still has a bit of a problem with monetisation but Ghost is working on joining and that is the equivalent of Substack with different subscription levels and I think most Fediverse services could do something similar. So Peertube could build in a “subscribe” button so people who enjoy your content could sign up to throw you a buck a month. Obviously a similar system could be added to the instance so you could donate to them, as hosting video is expensive.
I do wonder if we need a FediPay/PayFed service that other services could just plug in, so you’d have a central account across your Fediverse identities - subscribing on Pixelfed could get you subscriber exclusive Peertube content.
Good find. At least you kniw where the issue is.
As Pixelfed is going to fully implement groups, it seems like an interesting time.
Huh, I’d never heard of the Indieweb
This is beyond my remit, so I’m tagging @[email protected].
Next version is 0.19.10.
Nothing.
I’ve consulted on this and it is currently broken but has been fixed and that will be in the next version of Lemmy.
Right, I’ve uploaded a couple of films, we’ll see what happens.
Yeah, I’m full of cold/allergies so I’ll need to wait a day or so before I add anything new.
English is my first language and it was clear to me.
