Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator
⚄︎ Perchance
This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.
Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)
This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

- You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
- We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

Hmm, yeah this has been asked for before, and the reason I haven't done it yet is because it would make it easier for people to impersonate others. I.e. set their nickname to the same, and set their color to the same, and then rely on people not noticing that the letters are different. This might not trick many people, but it would make it more annoying since there's a lower chance of at-a-glance check being correct.
Ideally I'd replace the letters with a dingbat font or something so there's more visual distinction between the tags. Also now that usernames are a thing, this potentially makes the impersonation issue less relevant. I'm still a bit indecisive on this one though...
I've also had a similar kind of idea by having an auto-generated nickname based on the user's tag in my advanced comments plugin demo. For example:
B134becomesBtereHariman34(though the tag-to-nickname system is still in underlying development, and I might change the names on the database so it looks less like nonsense to read on)
