Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

well,
…
yea…
i guess being angry at ai is easier than admitting to myself i've wasted 4 years of my life (and counting) studying for a job that won't exist by the time i'm out of uni…
and, it feels like recently ai just turned everything i cared about to shit. art, writing, programming, gaming, computers in general really
i should care about more things
No your anger is entirely justified. Just misplaced.
Your directing anger towards an inanimate thing. Ai doesn't care nor is it harming anything you listed.
Human shit stains using ai as a blunt instrument is harming everything you listed.
Being upset at AI is like being upset at guns for massshootings.
Put a gun in the ground and guess what it's going to do. Fuck all, it's going to sit there cause it's a piece of shit metal that can't do shit.
Direct your anger to the actual sub human shit stains ruining everything for the rest of us. It gives you an actual outlet, an actual real and tangible thing that you can rationalize.
You can DO something about people misusing a tool. You can't do shit about the tool.
Pandoras box can never be closed. We call all work together to prevent assholes from using what came out of it from making our lives worse tho.
I feel the same... 6 years spent on 2 degrees to get into game development, and as soon as I graduate from the last one, the aftermath of COVID and then AI burn the industry and cause it to be nearly impossible to get into for the average junior and layoffs are increasing each year... Then people say we gotta just "deal with it and stop complaining" 🙄
I'm tired of it all
Uhhhh you could've asked anyone even 10 or 15 years ago and they would've told you not to study game dev under any circumstances. AI is making it worse, but there was already immense competition for underpaid and overworked jobs.
i feel this so much :<
honestly i might even be fine with it, build my own ai-free bubble, and just keep doing the things i like the manual way, if my job which i am required to work to survive and which i previously enjoyed hadn't turned to shit because of ai and is threatened to stop existing entirely threatening my lifelyhood
honestly at that point i think i’m gonna work in something else and just code as a hobby. unless i can find a really cool job it’s the only way i feel like i can code without hating it
Nah, you're valid for this. Anger has purpose. You could resign yourself to the sad life of AI dominance, or you can get mad and set fire to a data center.
Yknow? This really begs the question about why more data centers aren't being burned down... 💅🔥
First date rule
FR THOOOUGH.
I WANTED TO GO ON THE DATE TO THE WOODS TO MICROWAVE ROCKS SO BAD, BUT SHE (my ex) SAID IT WAS JUST A JOKE 😭
Oof again super grateful I chose healthcare. They're still trying to shove ai in but at least for now they know Claude can't wrangle a wildly verbally aggressive schizophrenic who's also had a stroke and is perpetually covered in piss out of the dayroom and into the shower for the fifth time today.
AI is a new excuse to not hire junior developers. The financial crisis was another excuse. The dot com bubble was another excuse. Junior developers are needed, but hiring authorities hate to employ them.
i wholeheartedly agree with ya on this. my passion keeps getting messed with.
The job is going to keep existing, but companies really don't want to hire people right now, specially at entry level
There is so much to hate about AI, but programming has not been about typing out code letter by letter for a long time, probably before you and I even started doing it. IDEs have had autocompletion and "generating" whole classes / methods / whatever structure for a couple of years now (although deterministically). Low code / no code has been growing in popularity before LLMs. Generative AI is out of pandoras box, there is no way it will vanish out of software development one day. But we're also not yet at a point where any sales asshole is able or even willing to create effective and resilient systems as we have seen a couple of times in the recent past. Maybe we will never get there.
Concepts and architecture matter more than code, they always have. Focus on the bigger picture and learn to use LLMs as a tool, in ways and situations / workflows where it unarguably works (even if you doubt it), but refuse to become a meat proxy that became unable to answer a slack message without AI. Tech is not the problem, it's a handful of people ruining it for everyone while getting stupid crazy rich by fucking up our planet and the people living on it. Don't let it take away your passion for computers, or else they have won.
I usually only see this obsession with... u know... peeps within the bubble.
but yea I get that its kinda a coping mechanism. it hit em similarly, maybe not as strongly and things do suck big time rn. Anyway I looked at wonderful paintings in a museum today. awesome stuff, really expressive and just - strong.
I have yet to see this "bubble" of anti-AI sentiment. Its impossible to be completely locked in a anti-AI feedback loop when the entire world around you is pushing it constantly.
Yes, people can get stuck surrounded by ideas and misconceptions in a way that creates a harmful feedback loop, for sure. Not once, however, have I heard an argument against the growing anti-AI movement that wasn't just meekly defending the slop machine with objectively invalid points.
None of us are immune to propaganda and misinformation, but most times I've seen activists (or progressives in general) be told to "get out of their bubble" or "see the other side", it's nothing more than a convenient way to wrongly paint those arguments as short-sighted or ill-informed.
ye I see what u mean, from both sides. theres things on both sides that the other side usually doesnt know of or actively ignores which... yea, thats polarization iguess.
