This is your second warning to not break our CoC (3.2).

A third warning will result in a temporary ban from programming.dev.

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 [email protected].

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 this kind of 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.

We have over a period of time gotten repeated reports of unmarked NSFW posts in certain communities. All of these communities share the same singular mod, who have shown indifference when content has been reported. As leaving NSFW posts unmarked is against our instance rules, we have moved to set the rule-breaking communities to hidden.

Those of you who subscribe to hidden communities will continue to see them as normal, for everyone else these communities will look empty and hidden from c/all.

The newly hidden communities are:

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that programming.dev's policy is to by default hide political communities, pornographic communities and communities hosting bot spam. Users seeking such content can subscribe to hidden communities so see them as normal.

Just recently we also went ahead and hid communities from lemmygrad due to the politics clause.

As always we encourage our local users to report content that break our instance rules. All content you report are seen by the admin team and helps inform the team of what's going on across the fediverse.

[email protected] is for things related programming.dev, you should repost the question in [email protected] or [email protected]

If it's your own blog you're free to share it in whatever manner you like. If it's not your own blog you should respect the wishes of the author, meaning ask for permission if you want to copy paste the entire blog. Otherwise, excerpts alongside credits to the author is fine.

Sorry if this is the wrong community, not sure where else to post the question, and I'd rather avoid creating an issue over on Github.

Is there a way to check if a federated user is an administrator via the API? .get_person_details() will have the admin field set to false for all other than local admins and .get_community() only reveals the list of moderators.

I know I could scrape the admin list from the main page html, but scraping html is prone to errors if an instance uses an alternative frontend or the frontend is updated. Getting the data via the API should be a more stable solution.

Based on #3703 it seems like a decent chance that this information isn't currently exposed to federated instances though?

Describe the problem

3/4 moderators of the community are inactive, leading to a backlog of unresolved reports from the community.

Suggested solution

Find 1-2 active programming.dev users in the community volunteering to moderate c/programmer_humor in the comments of this post.

Expected time cost

A few minutes each week, the volume of the reports from the community is currently low.

Temporary solution

The community will be moderated by the admin community team until new moderators are found.

Are there any websites or posts where one can see planned features for the app? It would be nice to know what's missing from the initial release. I see plenty of feature requests, but none contains confirmation of whether that feature will be worked on or not.
