I’ve added you as a mod to c/gaming. I left Hurts on as he’s one of our Top Mods and I’m not sure of his status at the moment. Good luck and thanks for volunteering!

I’m in agreement with most said here. Users of other instances wouldn’t know of our TOS and rules generally. But also, our TOS is for access to “the website” i.e. lemmy.world. Users on other instances are not using this website, technically. They are accessing information originated here. It’s a complicated situation because of the nature of federation.

Personally, I would try to manage LW users specifically when it comes to age restrictions as those are the ones who agreed to our TOS and age requirement. So basically, if a LW user is known to be under 18, take action, and if a user from another instance openly says they are under 18, then take action. Explanation is up to you.

I’d say, unless the “other account” directly and openly states that Lemmy account XYZ is definitely theirs, and someone else directly reports it to you, I wouldn’t worry about what they might or might not do on other instances. You’re only responsible for for own community, not for the entirety of the Fediverse.

Yes, love this explanation.

…but again: polite warning and explanation first, always. Explain instead of punish, because they might not be aware that they even did something wrong. Give them the chance to fix their mistakes first, and only take action if they’re unwilling to do that.

And this is most situations in general, not just age issues.

Oh thanks! Will do

I have a mix of wifi and POE cameras and they all work for me.

Can vouch for this. Been using a bunch of Reolink cameras with BI for years. Be careful with Reolink, though. Some cameras work fine and some don’t at all, unless you use some middleman software, which is still hit or miss. Ran into this recently with a camera I got for my garage.

Edit: The Reolink Lumus line is NOT compatible. They don’t broadcast rtsp.

Ooh, I’ve only been there once. Just during the day randomly. I’m gonna have to stop by for this.

I use it all the time. Only issue I have is it sometimes keeps my phone screen on.

Aww, I was hoping you found a Donatello head shaped pumpkin and were like “This is perfect!”. Still, amazing work!

Oh that’s awesome! Did you do something to force it to grow that shape or find one that way?

Yes, can’t go wrong with IBC Root Bear!

It looks like the female gremlin from Gremlins 2.

That must be the foreman in the back.

Yep, exactly. It’s such a hack, easy joke to make and I almost find that more offensive than the racism.

There was a guy I worked with in the military named Robert Roberts. Everyone called him Bob Bob.

Exception: Bobbie Draper

Oh wow, thank you. For some reason this statement hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve got bad anxiety/worry issues and I tend to think about all the worst case scenarios. Everything feels like the end of the world to me, thanks persistent depression. But this put a lot into perspective for me. I’m going to use this statement as a tool when I feel myself spiraling with worry. Much appreciated!

often by the same people who think I phrase something as being hostile just because of my wording when I never imply that.

I get what you’re saying here. I’ve been told in the past that I’m always angry and I know I sometimes speak with a condescending tone when I don’t mean to. I get frustrated with people not taking a second to think about what they say a lot. Especially when they ask questions, a lot of times if they think for a second they should be able to reason the answer themselves. But I know I have a problem with tone and communication and it’s something I’ve been working on myself for years through therapy and conditioning and I’ve gotten a lot better.

I could just hear the tone in your voice when reading this. Great storytelling.

As an Asian person, there’s not much I hate more than jokes about Asian names or accents. Not even because it’s racist and offensive, but it’s just so cheap and hacky. On the other hand, when someone laughs at those jokes, I know that’s a person I want nothing to do with ever.
