My question to you: how do you solve the moderation staffing requirements? Imagine if every post that got downvoted was instead reported.
The solution here assumes that 'report' sends a post to some nether realm where nobody has to deal with it ever again; but all it's doing is passing the buck, and I don't think that's viable unless the moderation team is the same size as the userbase.
If you then mandate a sixty-character comment, then nobody's going to bother reporting anyway, and you end up with a worse problem..
But if we know that it makes things up and gets things wrong, how can we trust any information it gives us? Fact-checking is one thing, but at that point, you might as well skip the LLM and just look the information up yourself.
On the other hand, I've been on my fair share of sites that only need an email address to open an account - they don't ask for anything else, and you're straight in. Can't think of any examples off the top of my head, typically, but they do exist. It's weird.
I'm going to say Hokus Pokus Pink. It's not the greatest adventure game ever made, and its puzzles are fairly simplistic if I recall, being aimed at a younger audience. But it's got a certain weird charm to it. It's compellingly bizarre!
The writing is surprisingly good too, and the Pink Panther and his utter cluelessness about what's going on makes for a fun protagonist.
I'm still not sure if I have ADHD or not, but it's still a common trait, so I'll say the fact that I keep forgetting everything! Some things, I can remember in meticulous detail, as if it's right in front of me - Calvin and Hobbes strips spring to mind. Other things slide off my brain into the etheral unknown space, and while they're still lodged somewhere in my memory banks, they're painfully out of reach.
I seem to forget a lot of very basic stuff, to the point where it looks like I can't be arsed, and it's as frustrating for me as it probably is for everyone else - if not more so!
Firefly! I adore the Wild West theme mixed with the sci-fi elements. Feels really unique, and it represents what the spacefaring future probably would look like to the average person. Like everyone else, I'm livid it only got one series, even after all these years.
Conversely, I work in IT Support and I get asked programming questions far too often... even to the point where I'm asked to fix applications despite not being a dev.
Then again, I basically have to deal with anything that's got a plug on the end. I guess code falls into that category in some peoples' heads.
I just created a sub for prog rock - hopefully I'm not stepping on anyone's toes. @prog
EDIT: also made a couple more, while I was at it! @speedrun @browncoats

Off to Arcade Club this weekend with some friends! It's going to be like an oven in there...

Hello there! Thanks for making this, looking forward to being a part of it.
I'm still not sure if I have ADHD or not, but it's still a common trait, so I'll say the fact that I keep forgetting everything!

Or a transcript of the entire Spanish Inquisition sketch.
Side note, is there an agreed-upon 'fediquette'?
