without saying how old you are, how old are you?

  • I watched the Challenger disaster on the wheelie TV cart

    • I am not a bot.

  • That's funny. It's a play on an album name and motel 6

  • the fact that admins and mods didn’t care makes me understand why they felt the need to point it out in the comments

    That is EXACTLY why I did it. I thought that if I could get more users to report those accounts, and if they did, the mods and admins would do something about it.

    Not coincidentally, /r/wholesomememes was the worst of all the subs. The overwhelming majority of obvious organized bot rings were operating there. The mods told me they knew and didn't care because it was an opportunity for users to see content they hadn't seen before (completely missing the point)

  • There was r/catsstandingup(?) as well that just responded "cat." Never considered the conspiratorial angle there...

    If I cared about reddit anymore, I'd dig into that

    • I am not a bot.

    Jump

  • Lol. There is no way to do it efficiently. I did it in the way you described every time, and I reported literal thousands to reddit's admins (and never got a single response) and was banned by multiple subreddits because I was "annoying" when I reported bots to sub mods. I also called bots out in comments and provided evidence when I did. Nobody cared.

    When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I rolled out. I didn't realize how bad reddit had become and how much I hated the site. I'm much happier here with less content and without a bot infestation. Additionally, I'm sure users, mods, and admins WOULD care if I reported that sort of thing on Lemmy

    • I am not a bot.

    Jump

  • I was a bot hunter on reddit and was asked to mod /r/kittengifs because of my ability to find them. There were like 5 legitimate posts in 6 months

    • Do you have any OC's? Can you tell us about any?

    Jump

  • Is it even possible to own an Orange County?

    • Trump’s nephew: Former president ‘doesn’t give a s— about’ soldiers

    Jump

  • You're correct; this isn't news. He's trying to cash in (same with Mary Trump), and the news outlets are too. Anything with trump in the headline generates clicks/ad revenue, so they'll run anything regardless of its actual news value. We should all be downvoting these articles and otherwise discouraging people from posting shit like this

    • Racist signs found at bus stops in Denver

    Jump

  • They were DEFINITELY there last night when I looked. Maybe he's getting some backlash and has pulled some products off his site

    • Racist signs found at bus stops in Denver

    Jump

  • The signs are manufactured by a "conservative street artist" on a web store called "unsavory agents." There's a lot of really gross shit there

    • The Origin of Specious - Three new books explain how the anti-democratic and illogical theory of judicial originalism can be toppled

    Jump

  • Haven't read the article yet, but that's a banger of a headline. Looking forward to reading some legit journalism

    • How can I get YouTube to not offer rage-inducing stuff?

    Jump

  • In addition, if you see a video like this, I prefer to select "don't recommend channel"

    • Lemmy should just go its own way and forget about cake day and karma farming, and instead reward original content, until reddit starts copying Lemmy

    Jump

  • Reddit used to be overrun with mentions of bacon

    • Lemmy should just go its own way and forget about cake day and karma farming, and instead reward original content, until reddit starts copying Lemmy

    Jump

  • They may have been good in the beginning, but they got fucking hammered to death instantly and became tired tropes in less than a week.

    I vote that lemmy diverges and does its own thing so we can beat our own tropes to death almost instantly

  • So you're in favor of the Reddit2 proposition then...

    • Recommendations for music combining classical and modern instruments

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was astonished to not have found Metallica's S&M as the top result here

    • What's a good lesson you learned from Aesop's Fables?

    Jump

  • Is it? It could be. I thought I remembered it as a standalone book from when I was a kid. That was MANY moons ago, so I could be wrong

    • Do you value high fidelity (audio, visual, or other)? Do you notice a difference?

    Jump

  • I feel the same way. It's a bummer, but there's always conversations like these!

    Fortunately, my 21 year old is super into music and cinema, so I can share with her. She wasn't much of a believer in quality components or acoustic treatment until we bought a new house and I could go wild(ish). Now, I have ruined her life because she's broke and wants what I have. I did square her away with a pair of decent IEMs though, so at least she can have a little of what she wants

  • A garden variety setup today still sounds better than something high-end did when I was growing up

    Man, if this ain't the truth! Speaker technology has really improved in the last 40 years, and is substantially cheaper than it ever was. And Class D amps?!? HiFi is crazy affordable ( relatively speaking) these days!
