Yup. They just got their satire lessons from the same place as Babylon Bee.

That being said, sorting by awards was kinda useful. Except do away with reddits ridiculously specific ones. Keep it to stuff like Gold, Helpful, Hilarious.

^Mother fucker^… *Digs out wallet

Awards on lemmy would be a great way to subsidize server costs.

Holy fuck this is an old picture lol

Fully agree with George!

I used to do security at some shelters and the local Ministry for Social Development offices (Welfare office). Through those experiences I learned that there is a big, big difference between calling someone homeless/addict or saying “experiencing homelessness/addiction”

The title says it the correct way, the opening paragraph does not. That being said, “unhoused” doesn’t colloquially imply homeless and could be misconstrued as people being evicted. Regardless, after reading the article I don’t think the author intended to degrade people with their wording.

Anecdotally, I think we do a disservice to the people directly suffering from homelessness/addiction/mental health by misdirecting our frustrations towards the journalists increasing awareness of the problem.

Similarly, I think we do disservice to a lot of victimized and marginalized people by continually ‘improving’ the language surrounding specific issues and subsequently attacking people -who are engaging the topic in good faith- for not adopting the prescribed nomenclature fast enough.

Yo so I like/agree with your post but NGL the title is off putting. I ran your post through GPT and it spit this out.

“Unveiling the Power of Federated Universes: Rethinking Digital Autonomy”

Yea I think bot posting and rehosting content from reddit has served its purpose but come July should be dialed down significantly.

Even if it isn’t reddit content, bot posting should be restricted. There are niche examples where it’s beneficial. Eg, Daily Stock Tickers, Geolocal weather, or weekly Q&A threads, but those are clearly different than just content aggregation.

Comment bots also provide value. I agree grammar/etc bots are annoying but as long as people can easily block/delete their comments its okay. Prequel memes chat bots were hilarious and if a community wants them they should be allowed.

People are what makes internet forums fun. Keeping lemmy.world a space for human interactions is important.

Can we have more sort options? Like, “Top - Hour” ?

I used to browse reddits all/rising. I find engaging a post early on is the best way to participate in an active discussion. New/Top Today just aren’t returning the right posts.

(Couldn’t find this suggestion anywhere else in this thread)

There you are again… running away because you don’t have an argument to stand on. If this was your community you’d 100% have removed my comment by now. The only reason you continue this façade of engagement is because your persecution-fetish tickles your cognitive bias.

You don’t even know what peer reviewed means so whatever you think you get is most likely debunked by the people you’ve already blanket disregarded as being part of the hive mind.

I hope you get it. Cuz millions of americans are suffering because of the flaccid policies of the leaders you advocate for.

lol that is most certainly not what peer reviewed means. But sure… call everyone and everything you disagree with a hive mind while simultaneously removing more comments in one week than lemmy has in its entire existence. What a hypocrite and bad example of conservative values you are.

Do you bother to read anything outside your safe space?? Or peer reviewed? Either way you called the majority of americans white morons so you’re in violation of your own rules dingis.

So go back to reddit than lol. Your community you moderate is 50% removed comments. You’re a hypocrite and you’re wrong. If you were really open to debate you wouldn’t be desperately trying to insulate yourself from other peoples arguments.

Cognitive dissonance is a hellova drug. Thanks for being bleating proof that reddit’s right wing spaces were nothing but a house of cards for mean kids like you who only pretend to play nice with others.

Is that why you’re aggressively removing comments that don’t conform to your opinions? Everyone see’s through conservative’s fake “debate us” talking point. Ya’ll run the hell away from every single argument that you can’t strawman or whatabout.

Have fun getting your reality check. Outside Reddit/Twitter the majority of people don’t agree with you.

Man it must be jarring leaving reddit and not having an army of bots/trolls re-enforcing your cognitive bias.
