Actually no, it isn’t personal

It comes from the very same thing you wrote in the second part of this post. No-one on Lemmy gets paid for their work. And communities have to be easy to set up, so “the committee” does not become a burned-out, too-powerful, bottleneck
But that means that it is also OUR (non-mod, just a lemming) responsibility to mark stuff that we feel is out of line, when we have the capacity to do so. If lemmy.world agrees this is out of line, simply blocking and muting does not help the wider community, only solves the problem for me. Anyone else coming in with fresh account will see this shit on the front, local posts page

And yes, the ones crossing the lines can easily come back. And I probably won’t catch them next time because I’ll be busy with my RL. That’s fine
What I do have control over is whether I cover the eyes or not. When I don’t have capacity to mark something, I cover them and move along. Other times, I flag them. In this situation I couldn’t find a report button for a whole community so created a post

It’s the same as a pile of trash on the pavement. If it’s not a burden in their schedule, a regular member of public should call the city about it. And when they don’t have time to do that, hopefully someone else will, that were busy the other day. How many of these someone-elses there are is not something we can control. But we can control if we are the someone else ATM

If we want to have corp-less commons, we have to be part of the team sometimes, when we have the capacity to do so
I had for this one, and now I’m moving on with my life :) ✌

Ok so now you’re asking to speak to the managers manger, and that’s gunna be the developers dude.

Yeah, but maybe there is a button for that already, and I just can’t find it

I get your sentiment bc I have to follow tos myself. But can I ask what other stuff would you put in the category of harmful? Just asking straight not yelling at you here.

I don’t have a straight up list for that but some other examples I’d say would be:

• how to get everything mortgaged to invest in our casino
• how to get diazepine by cooking up cough pills (I’m inventing the names here)
• how to spot <ethnicity>
• maybe-snuff videos

I find the porn shit to be in the obscene annoying category. Like I’m in a field trying to catch butterflies and all there are, are fucking mosquitos lol

To me it’s not the porn that’s the problem, it’s the attitude in the community description
Not so long ago there have been repeated news about mistreatment of women in India. Big part of Hindu ethnicity lives in India. IMO this kind of content normalizes aggressive objectification
I know that porn is just a fantasy. But it seems (I won’t be spending time on searching for the papers, sorry. These are ~last year, so shouldn’t be hard to find) that for some reason this kind of fantasy does induce intimacy problems

I know that there are many others like that and there are other areas of human life that gets skewed with content-insatiability and marketing. But if I can’t mark them all IMO doesn’t mean I shouldn’t mark the one I see

And to freedom-fighters:
Lemmy being a federation, if someone wants to create a server about cooking aspirin, I’m fine with that. But I chose this instance also because of what was in the rules. I felt that community was crossing the line and asked if mods feel the same

But that’s just a block for me. Not a removal. I think harmful stuff should be removed

Personally I don’t but my grandpa was electronics engineer by trade and hobby and I was also talking to some electronics engineers in my previous job when I was toying with the idea myself. In both cases for home projects they were etching the paths by covering the plate with laser printer ink. When you get really good at that you can even get into SMD range of path width. The higher part of the range - you can’t outdo machine ECB printing if you want to get the paths really narrow - but workable.

1. print your paths on regular paper. The more DPI, the better
2. clean the empty board
3. use hot iron (like the one for clothes) to transfer laser printer ink from the paper to the board
4. take the paper off
5. inspect the paths, apply some marker (or wax, I think? I might misremember) in places where it’s not perfect
6. etch the board

Although, some of my colleagues at work were saying that at the prices you can order an ECB to be printed nowadays (for hobby better to find something local, so you have easier contact and shipping won’t cost you a leg) it’s not worth the hassle anymore. Pick the business which page looks like from the 90s. You are looking for electrical engineering veterans so they know more about electronics than webpages

You might want to search for your local hackerspace. For sure they have it all figured out for the area they operate in
