An alternative for /r/china
R1: Be respectful. No directed offensive language or personal attacks are allowed. Profanity is allowed, but not if it’s directed at others. Racism, sexism, and slurs or similar remarks are not allowed in either English or Chinese, including in usernames.
R2: No bad faith behavior. Bad faith behavior can include combative argumentation or statements intended to disrupt others’ points of view rather than engaging with them, attempts to provoke others into being caustic, making derisive remarks that add little value, or otherwise participating in discussions to the detriment of others. Making extreme unsubstantiated claims or sharing materials that are low in substance but high in outrage may also lead to removal.
R3: Media policy. Memes, images, videos, gifs, and other types of media are allowed but are strictly moderated. Media regarding real life people and events should provide appropriately sourced background context or risk deletion. On a spectrum from daily life musings to cultural commentary to political soapboxing, moderation of media will tighten. Media concerning topics that have already been discussed at length will likely be deleted. See also r/ChinaMemes
R4: Post title policy. Posts with low-effort, editorialized, provocative, inaccurate, sensationalist, or misleading titles will be removed and may result in a ban. In addition, posts linking to news articles or other third-party content in English must match the title of the original source or will be removed.
R5: No reposts / One post per topic. When posting about current events or new developments, please check if there are already other submissions on the topic. We regularly delete subsequent posts about the same topic, even if they provide additional information or context. If you would like to share additional information about something that has already been posted, please do so as a comment in the original thread.
R6: Posts must be related to China. Content that is only tangentially or incidentally related to China will generally be deleted.
R7: Submit the best source format. Submissions should be of the best available source format. For example, twitter posts should be submitted as links, not as screenshots. If your post is removed for this reason, you may resubmit it after appropriately selecting a better format.
R8: No meta-drama References to other subreddits that tend to cause drama, or contain Reddit Content Policy violations or other issues such as hate speech or misinformation, will likely be removed. Posts about bans or removals on other subreddits are not allowed.
R9: If posting in Chinese, please translate at least the post title / 规则11：如果发布中文贴子，请至少将标题翻译成英文

Not a shitpost.
Well done. I sincerely mean that. I was thinking of a longer comment where I say that in more depth, but in the meantime have some meandering thoughts:
What's your log policy? Not just Lemmy, but Nginx? Aside from IPs, DIY VPNs are quite popular and might have exposed hostnames from the connecting side. The transparent Modlog linked at the bottom is excellent.
What's your content policy? Copyright latte.isnot.coffee? Creative commons? ISC?
Long term URL? I firmly believe federalised, though not necessarily ActivityPub, is where the future of 'social' is [an aside, I believe Silicon Valley believe this too with little funding of 'next big social site/app' ideas for a few years now, and 'existing'].
X. On URL, but more of a thought point, DNS requests may be unencrypted. A downside of federalisation is visitors to sites may be identified at the ISP level.
Y. Not having to input an email address is a plus. There may be a nascent hesitation by some about inputting their email address.
Z. Stick a list on the sidebar, like an oldskool blogroll, of other Lemmys that users might like? A big draw factor for Reddit was switching between subs all without a single login.
Again, well done.
Thanks! Interestingly, it appears mod actions from other servers appear in our modlogs so it's more "global" than I initially expected, but a welcome surprise.
I've just today done a bit of work with the logging, indeed nginx was set to log initially (we used https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible to install) - to get around the issue of needing to identify and ban potentially abusive users, I've gone ahead and enabled IP masking which basically gives us a "fake" IP in the logs (eg 60.0.0.0 would be converted to 89.2.0.5. I'd actually like to configure this further so it uses out of bounds nonsensical IPs, 708.9.2.1 for example) but helps us track down issues: https://www.nginx.com/blog/data-masking-user-privacy-nginscript/ - luckily Lemmy itself on the Docker containers doesn't appear to log sensitive information. I've wiped the old logs prior to me doing that change
latte.isnot.coffee disavows owning anything posted here, if I find some time I'll make this clear, likely with the CC license like Wikipedia and Stack Overflow.
This is a long term URL, it's actually relatively cheap and easy to run. Even if we all go back to Reddit eventually, I will likely keep this online just to keep federalization going with other servers and the ability to comment over there using this instance.
Love this, can't wait to see this taking off!
