The announcement is missing mentioning that any content tagged aw NSFW will not be accessible from their app. This was one of the biggest points that made the API changes impracticable for app devs, charging a very significant amount of money for a reduced experience .
There are things like grammarly to help you with your grammar (and a tiny bit of style)
Many writers and copy editors have YouTube channels and tiktoks with tips and tricks. For example, you can look for how to show instead of tell on YouTube and you’ll see a few.
Brandon Sanderson has a whole bunch of them on wold creation
If you decide to ‘train’ with fan fiction, you can give wattpad a try to publish your stories and see how people like them
If you enjoy it, you absolutely should.
If you think you may want to publish a book, there are also a ton of resources (free) online to help you write properly. World and character creation, style, etc… It’s very different to write just to enjoy putting your ideas down, than actually building a novel or screenplay.
I can’t explain how much this pisses me off
It’s a known bug, and it’s being worked on
You can try this
This seems like a loophole. So, you go to one of those communities and post ilegal stuff and that’s visible for everyone in your communities but the mods don’t see it so can’t moderate it?
Jerboa doesn’t take me to the comment directly but I’m going to assume this is the one lol
It was part of the annoucement .
After reading many comments I think my ‘outrage’ came, as it often does, from misunderstanding. Also, because when singing up most people say don’t overthink it, it doesn’t matter much. But now I’m seeing that it does matter to sign up for an instance with like minded people. As I see more of what seems to be the drive behind beehaw, it doesn’t really resonate with what I want, but that doesn’t make it wrong. It is ok for that group of people. We just need to make sure that communities of general interest that were taking off there because they were one of the largest instances are also present in a more open and accessible place, so we are not restricted to collaborate.
I see your point. I was seeing it from the perspective of discouraging stuff to be shared on other communities because it’s already in beehaw, but you’d need an account to participate there.
But I see what you say, allowing them to contribute to other instances isn’t bad even if they don’t allow those instances to contribute on theirs.
But that is an issue too. Why would other instances allow them full access while being prevented from collaborating in theirs ?
As I was posting in the other thread, they are blocking almost 300 communities and the reason for these last two is that having four mods they can’t keep up with the huge influx of users. What is worse, they call it temporary until there are better moderation tools, but reading further what they hope for is the ability to block external users while allowing theirs to browse other communities
Reading through the comments in their post I’m losing the little sympathy I was feeling. It looks like the moderation tool they are hoping for is one that allows their users to access other communities while preventing the other communities from accessing beehaw. That feels shortsighted and selfish, and I would think most communities on that end on the block would block them reciprocally.
I think it’s also important to note, beehaw has the largest amount of blocked communities
Yeah. In the explanation they say that four people are taking the load of moderation, that can’t scale. If the rest of the communities keep growing they may end up isolating themselves for not being able to adapt.
Jerboa for Android is still early stages, but it does the job.
So… cp with extra steps? Sometimes articles really go far not to call things what they are
