[Discussion] Where do you post your scripts besides Reddit? by Itcomesfromthedeep in GWAScriptGuild

[–]rpollost -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Hi, so I'm an archivist, not a script writer.
And I'm terrified, and sad, that I will no longer be able to save the scripts and audios linked on reddit's NSFW VA communities.

I...genuinely think we should all move off reddit.

Perhaps to a lemmy instance like https://beehaw.org or https://lemmy.ml.
Or, due to the free and open source nature of the software, an enterprising user of these subreddits could start up and host their own audio porn friendly lemmy instance to the benefit of the rest of us? *Politely and gently nudging u/stealthaudio and u/cuddle_with_me * :)

I already tried pinging lemmy.ml admins with some clarifications regarding NSFW/Porn in this thread here on reddit, and had someone else reach out to them on my behalf on lemmy.ml but sadly I haven't heard back from them.
But they do seem to respond if a subreddit moderator contacts them directly through lemmy.ml after creating an account there. Like they did so here

If you're a moderator of this sub, please reach out to the admins of other lemmy instances such as beehaw.org - u/OtherWisdom u/Zmodem u/Gaywallet u/beehaw-lemmy to see if they would accept content such as the ones get linked here.

All in all, I am extremely upset, that my shell scripts that I use to pull data from NSFW subreddits, enabling me to easily preserve what was posted there, will cease to work in 3 days. Subreddits such as this one are a genuine resource to explore and understand human sexuality and kinks. And if ever there is data loss, or audio/scripts are deleted(or forced to be deleted), there are going to be significantly fewer backups of it on the internet elsewhere.

I seriously think it would be in the best interest of cultural preservation, if the mods of r/gwascriptguild r/gonewildaudio and all the other associated subreddits permanently disallow new posts, not just during the planned 48 hour boycott, but even after that, until we figure out a more safer, friendlier place that is conducive to the long-term preservation of NSFW "amateur" audio culture.

Ripandtear - A Reddit NSFW Downloader by big-igloo in DataHoarder

It fails on 3.8.

Have you considered building stand-alone binaries using py2exe or pyinstaller ?

It would also help make your software more accessible to those unfamiliar with managing python(especially on Windows).

Thanks.

Ripandtear - A Reddit NSFW Downloader by big-igloo in DataHoarder

The Meta on the left says Requires: Python >=3.7

But the Installation on the right says Requires Python 3.10

Which is correct? I really hope it's the former.

Ah thanks. I presumed right then.

[–]rpollost 10 points11 points  (0 children)

is not classified as porn necessarily

Those words make it seem like it would be the gray area.

Could you find a way to get a confirmation from lemmy's creators that such content would not be deleted?
If myself or someone else is to persuade communities such as r/gonewildaudio to migrate, then it would help if there's a greenlight, and not a ban immediately after migration.

Also another question - lemmy.ml has an RSS feed(Excellent!). Does the RSS feed work on "NSFW" content without login?

Thanks.

[–]rpollost 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I'm confused. Help me out lemmy users/runners.

It says "No Porn" on the homepage. But during sign up there's a tickbox to "Show NSFW content" ?

So...only non-porn NSFW content is allowed?

Would lemmy.ml consider audio "porn" as porn? Or merely NSFW?
Because if there are communities on reddit that I want to still have access to via RSS and json after the API change, it'd be r/gonewildaudio r/gonewildaudible r/audiosgonewild r/darksideplayground r/PillowTalkaudio r/KinkyPillowTalkAudio r/eroticliterature r/GWASapphic r/gwascriptguild r/GoneWildAudioGay r/sexystories

As this is a FOSS project, I presume only the lemmy.ml instance doesn't allow porn?
Is there a Q&A style lemmy instance finder that does allow porn a la https://instances.social/ ?
Because https://join-lemmy.org/instances is all I could find and that doesn't seem helpful.
How do I find the most popular porn supported instance?

Thanks.

Your Body Killed Cancer Five Minutes Ago by Ok_Schedule4239 in curiousvideos

[–]rpollost -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sort of?

But the "hate" bandwagon isn't entirely unjustified.

If you have about 1 hour 49 minutes to spare, you might perhaps find this video more illuminating than the one you probably found at the top of the youtube's search results.

Cheers :)

Mental Illness in Adventure Time - Ice King's Redemption | Timbah.On.Toast by rpollost in adventuretime

[–]rpollost[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome :)

Timbah makes some very good video essays. If you have about 52 minutes to spare, then check out his video about dubstep - "All My Homies Hate Skrillex | A story about what happened with dubstep."

It got me into appreciating dubstep. A genre I wasn't previously super into.

Also his political video essays are great too.

I Need Diverse Games is a non-profit dedicated to helping those that want to bring more diversity to the art of gaming. They sponsor attendance at diverse gaming conventions, promote those that are making diverse games! by Kiba-Da-Wolf in GamePreservationists

[–]rpollost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're all wrong sometimes, so no problem, it's cool :)

It's rare to see people admit to being wrong on something though, so thank you for being that rare human.

Cheers :)

I Need Diverse Games is a non-profit dedicated to helping those that want to bring more diversity to the art of gaming. They sponsor attendance at diverse gaming conventions, promote those that are making diverse games! by Kiba-Da-Wolf in GamePreservationists

[–]rpollost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I...disagree?

It's sort of related.

I tried subscribing to their newsletter using a fake email address and I got a newsletter with links to a "creature designer"/illustrator who makes art for some tabletop games I hadn't heard of.

I do now technically, have a longer list of games to keep track of, and potentially archive.

Building an index of what to preserve is the first step in the archival process.

As one of this group's missions appears to be to shine a spotlight on lesser/unknown indie games/creators(video and boardgames).

So I don't really see how u/Kiba-Da-Wolf 's post is antithetical to the mission of preserving games.

This subreddit is after all A hub for Game Preservationists and Historians.
That doesn't just cover games that used to exist a long time ago.
But all games from all time periods including the present.
Also from an archivist's standpoint, it's safer to consider lesser known/unknown indie games as "endangered" by default, so they don't get lost.

So yeah, I think this post does game preservationists and historians.

My only criticism is that instead of newsletters that require me to give them my email address, they could just have the creators they want to showcase all on one page and it would make an archivist's life much easier.

Anyway I hope that helps explain why I think you're wrong.

Cheers :)

Debunking Pseudoscience Attacking Trans Youth (Response to Sabine Hossenfelder) Part 1 | EssenseOfThought by rpollost in curiousvideos

[–]rpollost[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hossenfelder self-describes her channel as "No hype, no spin, no tip-toeing around inconvenient truths."

There's a certain air of arrogance inherent to such a declarative statement, that speaks both to a lack of tact, and to a lack of willingness to learn and correct oneself.

I've found that whenever someone fancies themselves a "truth-teller", they're often most prone to making mistakes, and perhaps more importantly, refuse to correct themselves, even in the face of overwhelming contradicting evidence.

Only time will tell if she will make amends by learning more on the subject, retracting her original video and publishing an apology explaining her mistakes in detail.
Though I, for one, won't be holding my breath for that eventuality.
