  • those aren't actually gifs.
    they're frequently webms.

    various people don't care or don't know the difference between media formats though, so they'll just call anything remotely gif-like a gif.

  • for our admin team, we're using a bot to message a matrix room when content is reported and reacting to the message when it's been handled.

    this could be done pretty much the same way on mod level, though this is certainly not easily accessible to everyone due to the hosting involved.

    and all of this is only relevant if you even receive reports about content in the first place. if you moderate a community on another instance, tough luck unfortunately, as they currently do not federate.

    edit: typos

  • I haven't checked how reddit does this but just from the example it seems like there is no anti tracking from the use of urlcheck that you're describing.

    reddit appears to generate tracking link with a specific numeric identifier in their database, so instead of attaching a bunch of removable url parameters they instead do a lookup in their database and then redirect to the original destination.

    this also means your app checking the redirect will need to fetch the url to determine the destination, which means their tracking still works just fine.

    edit: a word

  • based on https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/deve2819c518 it seems like users may need to explicitly enable sharing crash data with app developers.

    I don't know what the default for this is.

    https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/dev9a80ab71d seems to imply that you need to distribute your app via app store or testflight to be able to receive crash reports.
    the majority of apps installed on my mac are not installed via app store, though many of them have app store variants.
    i don't know if the distribution channel matters or just having the app in app store is enough.
    this article however also explicitly states this, so it appears that you do indeed by default not send this data to app developers:

    users who download your app from the App Store will need to agree to share crash and usage data with developers.

  • I'm pretty sure this only goes to Apple, not to the actual developer.

    I believe I've even seen devs specifically ask for copies of the reports from the crash reporter, as they wouldn't receive them otherwise.

    this doesn't change the rest of your statement though, just afaik the recipient is different.

  • I don't see "AI" being a relevant factor here, it should be treated the same as if it was drawn, photoshopped or otherwise.

    Although I don't know the full intention of the rule as it was originally created, I assume the intention to be avoiding political debate here. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is by banning political figures, no questions asked, but that also prohibits a bunch of content that is unlikely to result in political debate.

    At the same time, we have

    Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the mods

    so I would consider this an exception on that ground.

  • if you're renaming from File.js to file.ts, which is also changing suffixes instead of just capitalization, then that couldn't be explained by case sensitivity, unless it was a typo and you meant File.js to file.js

  • it is indeed somewhat attributed, but it still very much looks like scraped content.

    a very strong indicator is the inclusion of

    at the end, which on cointelegraph's page is separate from the content and provides a sign-up form.
