      Public Node Rules

      𝖈𝖍𝖚𝖓𝖐 · public.toofast.vip / public-node-rules · Thursday, 20 October, 2022 - 00:37 · 1 minute

    Chunk here, hi. As far as I know all you need to do is put a nsfw tag into a NSFW post for movim to filter it as NSFW. Make certain if your post is Not Safe For Work (ie: porn, violence, autoplay audio, etc) that you use that tag!!!! By the way, I don't want to encourage NSFW posting, rather ask me to make a community for that type of posts first, if none exists, thanks.

    As me, chunk@toofast.vip, for any new communities, I'll likely allow if it's reasonable. That way you can post away about a topic and others as well. No racism, sexism, hate speech, violence, animal abuse, gambling, slander, outright plageurism or illegal material whatsoever. You will be perma banned and shamed. <3

    We're trying to create a community (well as for 'we', me, lol so far) of valued content and I appreciate any and all efforts by all in this regard. I am an approachable person, anything you need or want please let me know, thanks.

    In case you aren't aware of how this node works, it works like so:
    Communities are created by administrator (myself) but posts in any community are open to public. So are comments and likes :D If this instance is online, so am I. So I will moderate (albeit very little as I don't care much for moderating, with the exception of the obvious things that cannot be done/said) and I am available always ^^

    Lastly if you want ppl to know who posted the post, it is best to start or finish your post with who you are. Such as I have done in this post. Movim at this time doesn't entirely make it obvious who posted the post, it is not in every area of movim :) #rules #publicnode #toofast #moderation

      YouTube age-restriction quagmire exposed by 78-minute Mega Man documentary

    A YouTube creator has gone on the offensive after facing an increasingly common problem on the platform: moderation and enforcement that leaves creators confused by the logic and short on their videos' revenue potential.

    The trouble centers on a longtime YouTube video host whose content is popular among the retro-gaming devotees at Ars Technica's staff. The creator, who goes by the online handle "Summoning Salt," chronicles the history of various classic games' speedrunning world records. His hour-plus analyses demonstrate how different players approach older games and exploit various bugs. The games in question are typically cartoony 2D fare instead of violent or M-rated titles.

    Summoning Salt asks why his YouTube video was age-restricted.

    On Friday, Summoning Salt took to social media to claim that his latest 78-minute documentary about 1989's Mega Man 2 , which went live in mid-September, has been "age-restricted" by YouTube's moderation system. Bizarrely, the video had been age-restricted roughly one week ago, only for YouTube to relent to the creator's appeal and claim that the restriction had been placed in error.

      As streamers threaten boycott, Twitch takes action on some gambling content

      news.movim.eu / ArsTechnica · Wednesday, 21 September, 2022 - 15:57 · 1 minute

    Gambling-focused streams like this one will see more restrictions from Twitch in the coming weeks.

    Enlarge / Gambling-focused streams like this one will see more restrictions from Twitch in the coming weeks.

    Amazon-owned streaming platform Twitch announced late Tuesday that it will start cracking down on streams that promote certain types of gambling sites in the coming weeks. The move comes after a number of prominent streamers publicly mulled a "Twitch blackout" to protest what they see as Twitch's implicit promotion of damaging and addictive gambling behavior.

    The concern over gambling among some streamers has become newly relevant this week thanks in part to Sliker, a somewhat prominent streamer who admitted on a stream last weekend to a serious addiction to gambling on the outcome of CS: GO matches. Regular readers will recognize that type of gambling as one that Valve and other streamers have struggled with for years .

    Sliker says he solicited at least $200,000 in donations from other streamers and viewers under false pretenses, using the money to fund his gambling habit rather than to help with a claimed temporary cash flow issue. "I don’t know what to say to the people I borrowed from," Sliker said in his confession stream. "This is the epitome of gambling. I want to say don’t touch it.”

    Valve has removed Roman gladiator sim Domina from Steam after the developer used a recent patch notes post as an opportunity to rant against transgender people and the idea of changing your public gender identity.

    Dolphin Barn Interactive's v 1.3.25 patch notes for the game, published on Wednesday , asks for "respect" as the game changes from its "deadname" of "Domina" to the rebranded "Dominus," which has supposedly undergone a "sex change." The thinly veiled post gets more direct as it goes on to demean a well-known trans streamer and asks players to "stop destroying the innocence of children by lying to them about basic biology."

    The Steam store page for Domina says the game is no longer available "at the request of the publisher." But in a post on a newly created Gab account, Dolphin Barn Interactive's Nicholas Gorissen said that is "incorrect" and that "Steam cancelled us" over the developer's views on trans people.

    Twitch, the Amazon-owned livestreaming site that caters primarily to gamers , said it removed streamed footage of a shooting in Buffalo, New York, this weekend "less than two minutes after the violence started."

    An 18-year-old white man used an assault rifle to fire on crowds of shoppers in a Buffalo supermarket Saturday, authorities said . The attack—which killed 10 and injured three, including 11 Black victims—is being investigated as a hate crime after the shooter allegedly posted a lengthy manifesto citing 4chan posts regarding the racist "great replacement theory" as his motivation.

    Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said Saturday that the shooter "had a camera and was livestreaming what he was doing" during the attack. The Twitch channel that had hosted that video has now been taken down, with its content marked as "currently unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s community guidelines or terms of service."
