This has a similar issue to the way Reddit recommends subs itself. A sub will be considered similar if it's the exact opposite due to users of one sub going to another to shitpost or brigade or etc.
I'm not sure of a fix for that, but would it be possible/helpful to weigh it by average upvote/downvote of the comments left from users of said sub? Meaning if sub A is about how much baseball sucks, and sub B is about how amazing baseball is, while determining if the 2 are similar you'd find out most posts from sub A to sub B are heavily downvoted and so probably not similar.
It seems though relationship can be considered to have a sign: positive, when people mostly align in their upvote intents, and negative when people do the brigading, etc.
I'd still see ability to determine absolute value of relationship as a valuable property of a recommender
"Pornography and other obscene materials (including literature, imagery and other media) depicting nudity or explicitly sexual acts; sites offering any sexually-related services such as prostitution, escorts, pay-per view, adult live chat features; sexually oriented items (e.g., adult toys); adult video stores and sexually oriented massage parlors; gentleman’s clubs, topless bars, and strip clubs; sexually oriented dating services"
"We don’t permit PayPal account holders to buy or sell: Sexually oriented digital goods or content delivered through a digital medium. Downloadable pictures or videos and website subscriptions are examples of digital goods.
Sexually oriented goods or services that involve, or appear to involve, minors.
Services whose purpose is to facilitate meetings for sexually oriented activities."
"Adult Oriented Products and Services — includes pornography (including child pornography), sexually explicit materials (in all media types such as Internet, phone, and printed materials), dating services, escort services, or prostitution services."
so on and so forth. it's questionable whether this site would break those rules, since they aren't directly selling anything. otoh, it's likely the payment processors would shut them down and so probably not worth the risk.
TL;DR: this does NOT answer #1 as buymeacoffee.com is not a store. It's a donation platform. You do NOT pay for any goods or services there, "adult-oriented" or otherwise.
As you said: they aren't directly selling anything. In fact, they are not selling anything at all, directly or not.
"it's likely the payment processors would shut them down and so probably not worth the risk" --> so.. FUD. As I said, we need less of that. One way to avoid it is getting an explicit answer from the payment provider, and quoting it on the TOS on BuyMeACoffee.
BuyMeAcoffee, are you simply deflecting the blame on payment providers? Please tell us what restrictions made you make this choice. It still doesn't seem to be a reasonable one.
_________________
I fail to see how Buy Me A Coffee would fall under these restrictions, as the payments are not made in exchange for any of the restricted categories.
The payment is for coffee, if you wish. Joking aside, no goods or services are being sold on buymeacoffee.com pages. You get nothing for paying. You can't violate these TOS if the recipients happens to do something "adult-oriented".
So, to clarify:
1. These ToS don't restrict the kind of content that may be displayed on buymeacoffee.com page, just the kind of transactions.
2. Buymeacoffee.com is a donation site; the payments are not made in exchange for any goods or services, sexual ("adult") or otherwise.
3. PayPal/Stripe do not restrict who can get the money. What the recepients do outside of the transaction is none of their business anyway.
Therefore, I repeat the question: what makes you restrict "adult content" on your pages?
Restricting the kinds of content that recipients create would be even more nonsensical. In the same vein, it would be stupendous to say that you can't sell a rug on eBay because you also posted an adult cartoon on deviantart.com at some point in your life.
like someone else said, it's likely not up to them. i had looked into starting a market place for that kinda stuff, since they're constantly kicked off of every other platform. but almost no payment processor allows you to do it.
Not a clue, I'm bad at names lol. Sharp Minds would probably be fine, just Sharpest Minds makes it sound like you're talking down to anyone who isn't involved in AI (which is like 99.99999999% of people).
Or if it was a clever reference to something in AI that made you sound smart but because it was a clever reference comes off more funny than rude.
How about "Mind Makers". I think many people will have a natural resistance to joining a community named after how smart the members are. Imagine wearing a button that says "I'm the smartest".
RPGs, FPSes have different themes and story, so there are a lot more variations. Plus many city sims can be modded.
You're probably right though. At the very least we could use more that aren't so traffic oriented. Maybe something with emphasis on pollution, agriculture, culture, utilities.
Nano is the first crypto I've been really excited about that's just a currency, and a hold quite a bit of it. Would love your opinion (or a post) on it. It's still fairly new and there hasn't been enough thought out criticism.
Actually the opposite for me, and the original reason I went with Vue (tho after using it more I like a lot about it). I just do not get the appeal of JSX. Directives are meh, but I still prefer it to JSX.
Do you think that your preference is just from your previous experience? JSX feels like uninhibited templating to me, which is great when it is done right (and a little crazy when done poorly). I also feel like it gives cleaner error messages.
Vue (+ ESLint) give pretty clear errors when you've messed up that make it quick to fix.
But yea, I mean I think it's subjective for most people. I'm not sure there's any real reason to go one or the other outside of developer happiness (could be wrong, though). A big part of Vue is to have a low learning curve and be less opinionated. So it feels more like enhancing your workflow (either in existing apps or new ones) than adopting a whole new way of doing things. I'm just personally more into that.
Also, for what it's worth, you can use JSX with Vue. The only downside I can think of is any time you have a problem it might be hard to find solutions since most people stick to directives. If you already know JSX, though, that might not be an issue.
I'm not sure of a fix for that, but would it be possible/helpful to weigh it by average upvote/downvote of the comments left from users of said sub? Meaning if sub A is about how much baseball sucks, and sub B is about how amazing baseball is, while determining if the 2 are similar you'd find out most posts from sub A to sub B are heavily downvoted and so probably not similar.
