SMNI News’ YouTube channel got terminated. The red-tagging channel “Laban Kasama Ang Bayan” (named after the SMNI show with Lorraine Badoy) also got terminated on YT as well.

I was bored/procrastinating on some work.

It’s not really an in-depth thing, I just used Lemmy’s search capability and took note of the number of responses and the number of deleted responses. I added the number of responses with the number of deleted responses (a negative number for new responses, a positive number for new responses is ignored). I did it for both Lemmy.world and Lemm.ee and took the average. For the smoothed out version, I just took the exponential moving average with the following factors:

• sampling frequency = 1 day
• average age (ϰ)= 7 days
• EMA factor (α) = 1/(ϰ+1) = 0.125

That is, I am trying to smooth the values accounting for weekly variability in activity.

I guess I could have ignored the spike in activity during the Reddit blackout, but it seems that the smoothing took care of that quite well.

EDIT: Replaced chart image with a one that has a black background for legibility for people using light mode.

Someone made a thread the other day suggesting that r/PH switch to NSFW. This article explains what we already know and why it’s a bad idea:

Reddit demands moderators remove NSFW labels, or else…

Contrary to popular belief, we’re not scared of being stripped our moderator duties… BUT it is a bad thing for the sub if they appoint AI mods or just any applicant that may or may not be from a troll farm.

Edit - Apologies for bringing r/PH drama again 🤪

You are the best thing that’s ever been mine

Good morning ka-phlemmies, clock watching time but it’s still an hour before I can sign out of work
