⚄︎ 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.

Can anyone report this to the authorities? I think the maker of the site lives in Italy.

How did you even find this?

[–] Alllo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

much is suspicious about this but yes i think the correct avenue for @perchance@lemmy.world to take is to send this 'backup' snapshot of the generator with ip address and email if email exists to some digital law enforcement place to pursue. yall agree thats teh correct path? If it's the first time, it should be good experience for Perchance too.

Perchance chat is gonna get the site shut down I swear.

Any forum with a buncha unhinged weirdos + underage users is trouble waiting to happen for the site. People wanna chat , do that on Lemmy or whatever other moderated forums there are IMO.

The mods should be held accountable for this. The kid ventured in deep where he didn't belong and it top to bottom messed him up. Somone posted a week ago that they're noticing minors in adult chatrooms just to end up being ridiculed with ridiculously carefree responses from a mod-level individual. My jaw dropped at this mod's responses, as he even went on to saying, he would consciously 'help' minors stay in adult chatrooms and it's not in their 'personality' to take actions that a sane and responsible mod would have done otherwise.

With all due respect, that's an extremely volatile and unfounded accusation. Moderators are not the therapists of the world and are certainly not responsible for this kind of behavior.
Nothing on a single website can make a kid like this. Being isolated really helps. The core of this stupid, destructive impulse is way beyond anything perchance or a single website can do.

People shoot up schools because they want to be remembered and they want their rage to be legitimized. Short of reporting him if his IP is known, the best way to deal with this is just to ignore it. This is a desperate and pathetic act, and giving it attention just makes people like this feel successful at something.

Is the parents fault and the background that made him take this path,mods can't babysit other people kids

The chat on my page isn't very busy, but even with a slow chat I don't always catch everything that happens there. I can't be online 24/7 to monitor it. This is a hobby, not my job. You also have to remember that "minor" means different things in different countries and there is no real age verification here. The "minor" you are referring to could very well have been an adult trolling or even law enforcement trying to attract a predator.
