Yes, I've noticed an uptick in connection errors from the lemmy.world servers, which is likely the reason. I am planning on rewriting the bot in Erlang/Elixir from python and will look into the fixing any potential issues once that happens. I don't have access to the server at the moment as I'm away on holiday, so if the bot is down, I can't restart the process unfortunately.
If you don't have anything positive or helpful to say, it would be better to just not reply. If you think the post shouldn't be posted here, use the report function instead.
When on communities hosted by programming.dev, please follow our Code of Conduct. Repeated breaches of our CoC will lead to a temporary ban from our instance.
Please follow our Code of Conduct when interacting with our instance.
Hate speech violates section 3.5 and in this instance is severe enough to lead directly to a temporary ban instead of the usual warning. Repeated offences may lead to a permanent ban.
Reminder that our Code of Conduct (3.2, 3. 5) applies even on communities outside our instance. If you keep breaking those rules we may give you a temporary ban.
Due to federation delays it's best to run the LiveThreadBot on the local instance. I'll keep the lemmy.world bot alive for now for people over at !gunners@lemmy.world, but for !football@lemm.ee it's best to use the local @LiveThreadBot@lemm.ee
Discussions are getting off-topic and this is an announcement post, not a discussion post, so I'm locking the post.
If local users want to have an in-depth discussion regarding admin moderation of programming.dev, you're encouraged to make a discussion thread in !meta@programming.dev.
I can only report on what I've been told by those who have directly dealt with the reports, my apologies if parts of the phrasing are inaccurate/poorly made.
I'll make a note that we should probably reach out to relevant moderators beforehand next time we make similar actions.
As for differing sensibilities, I'm not sure most people would classify thiskindof content as safe to browse at work/in public.
Regardless, we are not here to make demands or argue on how other instances moderate their own content. This post is made mainly to keep our actions transparent to our local users.
Hiding communities outside our predefined rules (politics, porn and bot spam) isn't something we take lightly, and we are only hiding them now after several months of reoccurring reports that break our instance rules (3.4).
We will do our best to be transparent about when and why we hide a new communities, and be aware that subscribing to a hidden community will unhide it for your feed.
If you do have concerns and suggestions on how to alleviate those, please know that we are happy receive feedback.
