Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator

⚄︎ 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.

https://perchance.org/leaderboard-plugin-v2 stays public for a while after i set it to public, then goes private after a while without me doing anything. I had initially been paranoid thinking Perchance didn't want my leaderboard up for some reason, but it's clearly a thing to freely empower people and the 'going private' happens more frequently than i think Perchance browses the recent generators page. I have been thinking now, could it be because I copied the 'bad regexes' function from the generators page to make chooseable names on the plugin in line with the censoring of the generators page? That is my guess as to the 'privating'; that it has to do with the code on my page containing tons of 'bad words'. If so, this is quite the interesting topic. I should like for things I am making for use on multiple people's pages to have the same default censoring as Perchance Main. That seems, to me, best. If there is censoring in public spaces on Perchance, to have the option for things made for public spaces on Perchance to have the same censoring. That is what I did and I think it is causing my thing to be caught by censors and made private every some number of milliseconds.

Anyway, nice discussion topic. should there be perhaps a global censoring function for Perchance perhaps that anyone can take in to their code, without triggering 'privating', that allows them to align their generator or plugin with Perchance censoring?

Is there something else that triggers certain generators to 'go private'? It has happened to one other of mine that I don't remember, and Leaderboard v1 and Leaderboard v2, both of which contain the same 'bad regexes' code which patrols the generators page generator names. Yet I was making a nsfw word list in Beautiful-people which has never caused it to become private.

Anyway, curious thing that came up. thoughts?

thank you. the purpose is good tho. But yeah, tricky how me wanting to censor to the same standard as you causes my thing to be censored. Maybe there's a better way. Anyway, thank you.
