If they link directly to {instance}/c/{community} but not to !{community}@{instance} it can chime in with that second thing.
Most people link to something, but they don’t always link to the thing that works everywhere.
There should be a bot.
Actually, do you want me to make a bot? It wouldn’t be hard.
It is an an immune system against the normies.
I am dead serious. I think it's a good idea. It won't last forever before they think it's cool and start adopting it, but it'll work for a while.
The issue isn't that billionaires owning papers is new. It's the billionaires hewing to Trump, when previously they were willing to publicly feud with him as people would do in a free society. A good example is Bezos versus the US government over the issue of USPS carrying Amazon packages. Since they're now showing signs of obedience to Trump in fear of being punished, important scholars are pointing out that it's a huge problem with a long history in the collapse of democracies into autocracies. It's a critical force multiplier for the worst and most dangerous features of a fascist government.
I already said this to you, with citations, as did others. You're so excited about making your point and convinced that you know better that I suspect you'll just repeat your previous point of view, pretending I said nothing of interest. I eagerly invite you to do that again, if you like.
A lot of Lemmy mods, especially on Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world, see themselves as arbiters of what people are and aren’t allowed to say.
It’s very weird. It is the Reddit model that they’ve inherited, and you can avoid it to a certain extent by just avoiding those communities and instances that tend to do things that way. But I think at the end of the day that this model of moderation is simply always going to have this failure mode attached to it. It’s a silly thing for anyone to agree to who is an adult who can speak their mind unmonitored by a chaperone who is approving or banning each message like some sort of schoolmarm overseeing the class discussion and ordering someone out if they get out of line. We only put up with it because most mods are fine, the damage is slight most of the time, and it’s hard to find an alternative.
I wrote more on the topic in this exact community a while back if you want to read. I plan to write up a part 2 which includes some guesses for what could be done about it. If you want, I can send you a note when it’s written.
So, you just have your thing you want to say, and you’re not interested in reading our stuff or any point that isn’t what you already had picked out to say, not interested in a conversation, nothing like that, huh?
Just going to keep saying your thing with increasing curtness for as long as someone keeps sending you replies? It sort of looks that way.
It’s a big deal. The endorsements are mostly worthless from a political perspective, but the willingness of otherwise powerful people to place themselves obedient to Trump’s dictates is relatively new, and is a terrifying sign.
So you’re speaking only to people who are not aware of the #1 or #2 biggest story of the last 24 hours, but are eager to get themselves fully up to speed on it from somewhere else, based on only the vaguest of hints?
“No, see, your TSMC coins are better than dollars. They’re cryptocurrency. It’s a new paradigm. You can use them at the TSMC shop.”
Interestingly enough, Wikipedia’s sourcing list counts Wikipedia as unreliable. It says you need to find information somewhere else so as not to create a self-referential loop. You have to justify it from a solid source that’s outside the system.
MBFC says that MBFC is incredibly reliable, and incidentally also tends to mark sources down if their biases don’t agree with MBFC’s existing biases, which are significant. It needs no outside sources, because it’s already reliable.
Good stuff.
