AmoledBackgrounds

A community for posting AMOLED background images, these backgrounds are mostly true black which, on (am)oled displays, turns the pixels off entirely.

Rules:

  1. No bigotry: Including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
  2. Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.
  3. No purely pornographic content.
  4. No Ads / Spamming.
  5. Be thoughtful and helpful: even with ‘stupid’ questions. The world won’t be made better or worse by snarky comments schooling naive newcomers on Lemmy.

There should probably be a note explaining expected types of backgrounds to be posted to this community. Non-black ones are getting downvoted but to be fair to those posters there is currently no guidance of what types of backgrounds are expected here.

@_[email protected] don’t know if this notifies as I’m relatively new to Lemmy.

I want to be clear I am not proposing any specific % be set unless we get our own black checking bot. But some vague explanation would be better than nothing.

Notifications do work, thanks for tagging me!

I am not clear on the rule you're proposing. Would you like to be added as a mod and handle this?

Cool, glad it helped. I’m inclined not to be a mod as I just don’t have the time to be spending unfortunately. Just bursts here and there. Thank you though.

I had in mind something along the lines of:

Community for posting AMOLED background images, these backgrounds are mostly true black which on (am)oled displays turn the pixels off entirely.

But if you prefer more of a rule format

Images posted should be at least 1/3rd true black and generally are 50% or more true black.

As I noted though this gets harder to enforce without a black pixel checking bot.

Why does the pixel checking bot have to be black? /s

It's the same for me. Someone gotta do the work for the communities to grow. :)

@_[email protected] Eh, I said no initially but I guess I could give it a try, toss me the mod if you please.

[–] _MoveSwiftly 3 points 1 year ago

You're now a mod.
