⚄︎ 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
 

Hello staff,

First of all thanks for responding to my previous request, it was greatly appreciated by our community. That said, after some thinking, we would like to propose an idea how to improve on that with minimal effort from the team that any perchance community can benefit from.

The idea is that generator admins should be able to create rooms that are protected with a password. The implementation can be the same as it is for administration of comments plugin: a GET request to load messages from a password protected channel could include roomPasswordHash query parameter that takes a hashed password that admin on comments plugin had set up through admin command. To set up the password, comments plugin admin should log in first. Then, the command password should become available to them, which takes three arguments: verb (set or remove), channel name and plaintext password for chosen channel (if set verb was used). The password is then shared by the word of mouth, or in any way that the administration of the generator sees fit. KISS, gets the job done, and shouldn't take very long to implement.

Thank you!

But the chatrooms still have to be visible to everyone though?

If not I feel that could open up all sorts of avenues for illegal activity

You mean that other users can read, but not participate? I don't think this would do any justice though. You don't want for any random visitor to read a moderator lounge, or room for 18+ roleplay, for instance. I agree with your statement about it being an invitation for illegal activities, but at the same time if you think about it, creating private generators is already doing the same thing and having password protected rooms is no different, just improves the UX. One can easily slap a comment plugin on a private generator and do as they please without anyone having a clue.

That's fair
