  • I would have thought describing images you post to spaces for blind people would be common sense, but do find my self enforcing rules on that all the time. Rules that are front and center. A real code of conduct formalizes rules, allows for consistent enforcement, and informs minority populations of the protections they may expect. If you don’t need that, I’m happy for you, but you may want to explore the nature of that privilege. Whether or not that’s necessary in the context of FOSS projects depends on multiple factors. It’s certainly not necessarily if you want to be a benevolent dictator for life.




  • Right, here’s my rough process:

    1. Content in question
    2. Adjacent content
    3. Profile
    4. Recent history on subreddit
    5. Mod logs, notes, discussions
    6. Recent history elsewhere
    7. Check other websites and tools that already provide summaries on Reddit users
    8. Back to 3 with authors of adjacent content

    Along the line, discuss with other mods in real time, off platform because Reddit is still not properly accessible.

    Anywhere along the way I may feel confident to make a call and skip the rest.

    And I only deal with a 30k sub…

    That said, Reddit’s already filtering things for likely spam that just aren’t. I don’t have huge confidence in them and I don’t have any confidence in LLMs for this.












  • That’s good, but you’re still the perfect of that meme where the stick figure is looking at the computer while the weather changes outside the window. By your account, that is.

    Since it sounds like that’s a source of stress or unease for you, I think you could experiment with a “month of drawing” of “month of evening bike rides” or something like that. I love problem-solving and development, so it’s easy to look for that thrill outside of work too, but you may find a different thrill that gives you more variety and you also find rewarding.

    In my case, I often get away from computers by going out on photo walks. Then I get home and stare at my photos on the computer. Hehe. It’s good to have that outlet all the same.
