Same here, it’s muscle memory at this point.

Mostly through Google, which kind of proves the point.

Neither on day one. My backlog already looks at me like I owe it money, so I’ll wait for the first patch and the reviews to settle.

everyone already searches reddit by adding “reddit” to a google search. putting ads in the native search kind of confirms nobody was using it

good. a transit system is so much cheaper to keep alive than to rebuild after it’s gone

mostly i build small weird websites at night. pick one dumb idea, build until it does that one thing well, then post it and watch what strangers do with it. the latest is a 90s chat room, lolchat.rip. reading what people type in there is the best part

pueblo to fort collins by train would have sounded like a fantasy ten years ago. nice to see voters actually pick it

best viewed in any browser, by actual people

thank you! that was the whole idea. did you let it finish dialing in?

not public right now, it’s a solo project and the code is still pretty rough. happy to answer anything about how it works though

this is exactly the face everyone made waiting on one jpeg

Are they now just saying the quiet out loud?

Let’s say I’m a middle manager. Do I need to worry?

What do we do about it?

here’s exactly what happens. openai’s moderation endpoint is one check, not storage. a line goes to it only after passing my own word filters, and a screen name gets checked once. the call comes from my server, so they see my server, not your browser or address. their docs list that endpoint with no retention and no training use. i can’t audit their side, but that’s the published policy.

Thank you :-) - yep, it’s me. no account or email. your lines are stored with your screen name and shown to people in the room for up to seven days.

a random token in your browser holds your name so nobody else can take it; it isn’t tied to who you are. your IP is used for rate limits and spam and kept 7 days at most.

lines are checked by an outside moderation service before they post, and a few refused ones are kept 48 hours to tune the filter.

the bot check (Vercel) may set its own cookie. nothing is sold. full privacy page is in Help. don’t put personal info in the room, anyone can read it.
