Feature Recommendation: Increase Availability of Moderation Tools

Category: SpaceHey

Dear Staff, I would like to request a feature that adds, at least in part, the functionality of the little box of links on our profiles to be included in our blog and forum posts, at bare minimum Friend Request and Block User. I would also like an additional feature of a link to block users immediately during the "Your report has been made" page to help users minimize contact with web detritus. Th... » Continue Reading

Reminder: How to properly handle TOS infringement

Category: SpaceHey

It's a story as old as the Internet itself: people out there will always exist who attempt to make a nice thing worse. Thankfully, we have access to moderation tools (and a fair bit of psychology wisdom) to help keep our favorite places clean. There are two rules for dealing with such users: 1. Report immediately. Do it when you see it. 2. Disassociate immediately after reporting. Do not engage. B... » Continue Reading

Looping Youtube Videos

Category: SpaceHey

I like having my profile open to listen to my music on loop. I'm weird. If you're the same sort, here's how you manage that. First, you need to copy the video ID from your page code. That is the funny set of letters, numbers, and punctuation at the end of your embed URL. Next, plug this into the string after said URL: loop=1&playlist=VIDEOID Depending on which tutorial you used to get video on you... » Continue Reading

Category: Web, HTML, Tech

Here's a nice infographic of alternatives; I personally recommend anything that's FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) as people can dig into the code of the program itself and ensure there's no shenanigans.

I remember back when I was a teen

Category: SpaceHey

that I'd see adults on MS and wonder what they were doing on there if they weren't a celebrity or something like that. Just didn't click for me. Seeing kids on here who were my age on the OG is a pretty wild thing. I get to be the 30-something all the kids wonder about lol This place is pretty wild and never would have expected people that much younger than me would be attracted to a place like th... » Continue Reading

Hello, World!

Category: SpaceHey

Been watching this place for a hot minute. Decided to pull the trigger and make an account. It's pretty cool. I like how there's a lot of stuff on here that people put up for page editing. I was an old MS user nearly 20 years ago and it's where I got my start with HTML. Ended up not using it later on down the line, but that's life. Now I'm here and it's kinda nice. I'm surprised at all the younger... » Continue Reading
