⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

MODERATORS
 

Hi there,

First of all I want to say thanks for the effort that the team puts into perchance. In today's abundance of social medias, perchance feels very DIY and oldschool, like on good old internet, which feels very refreshing.

Lyrics aside, I want to ask for advice on behalf of furry-ai gen community. As it gains more traction, the need for moderation also grows due to all kinds of ill behavior that poisons the community. Original creators of this gen do not seem to be active or respond to feedback messages. What can be done in this case?

What do you mean by "ill behaviour" exactly?

Are we talking people being abusive in the comments section?

Or is this more related to what people generate and post to the galleries?

A little bit of both. Trolling, impersonating other people and some generations that no one should be seeing. I can provide more details in private if needed.

Fine - well, as I've mentioned, trolling and impersonation can sometimes get over the top, which is impossible to resolve without the banhammer. There is no one there to pin some sort of manual to users to encourage account and username registration to avoid this, and it is exhausting explaining this over and over. Also, I've just remembered - there is an issue of separating NSFW stuff from SFW more clearly, at least on chat room level, to discourage minors from peeking. I don't think there is an easy solution to that, though, but we want to have space where people can enjoy themselves and don't feel creepy regardless of their age. Content wise, as much as furry community is accepting of fetishisms, some stuff is absolutely unacceptable - such as an equivalent of CP and sexualization of minors (you asked for it, sorry). In my book, there is no place for stuff like this even in form of generated image.

Those issues are entirely subjective.

Are you even part of the furry community?

This sounds a lot like the rhetoric of someone who is an outsider that seeks to stir the pot because a group offends them.

As long as they don't invade your space , don't make an effort to invade theirs.

There are tons of generators on Perchance , each with their own crowd of people.

There is no reason for you to use the furry-generator , unless that is what you are actually interested in.

I understand where you're coming from, and I understand that freedom of expression is one of the values of perchance. I am part of the community and I've been on this gen for months now so I know what I am talking about. I genuinely care about people on it, and I'm not the only one who has been raising concerns about certain issues, and majority of people who are a part of this gen's community would agree. I get the hint about other gens, though. Appreciate your input regardless.
