⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

[Suggestion] Blocking certain words in comments, not just users in the Comments Plugin (mastodon.social)

[Suggestion] Blocking certain words in comments, not just users in the Comments Plugin

So, there's already a feature to block specific tags so comments with those tags won't show up anymore. But what if you could also block comments based on keywords (even if they're sent from different tags)? Also, there should be a separate "unblock all" command for blocked users and words.

Please ping the Dev so they know about this.

@Alllo That one is for "banned words" if you mean that. What I mean by blocking words is for each user instead of pre-setup in the list (works just like blocking users, but for keywords.)

Yeah, that would need to have a specific ID/account for that to work since the IDs are ephemeral i.e. can change without notice, they might just avoid the block for words later on.

Also the bannedWords list does hide all messages containing the words on the comments.

@VioneT Yeah, but that also hinders someone from sending comments with any of the specified banned words.

For context, bannedWords is an option that could be added to the plugin, and block words (or word blacklists) would be a separate command accessible via the ⚙️ button that allows each user to configure their own unwanted words, and senders could still send comments with those "blocked words" on normal circumstances.

I guess a word filter for your view. I'm not as sure how it would affect your conversations since if they messaged with a filtered word, you might not have the correct context to reply to.

That's what I'm talking about. I could set my own word filters, and everyone else can set their own word filters as well, and they can be different for each user. Kind of like a combination of bannedWords and the user blocking feature. 🙂

I’m not as sure how it would affect your conversations since if they messaged with a filtered word, you might not have the correct context to reply to.

Also, for this, there should be a command to show/hide messages containing the word filter (that marked with a specific flag). It's like the suggested "unblock all" command for words I previously mentioned in the post but the defined blocked words do not reset. With that, I'll be able to look up and still see those replies with the word filters.

That would be cool. I would also probably suggest to only show the clicked message.

Not like the show NSFW in the text-to-image-plugin gallery. I would like to only show the picture that I want to see i.e. I clicked on, and not the all NSFW images showing (on side note, this might be a good implementation to the gallery @[email protected])

In this case, I would like to only show the filtered message that I clicked, and not all of it.
