This is almost certainly because of the social media trend to destroy public bathrooms. Not “teehee I pulled out a lot of toilet paper” but “I body slammed the air dryer until it broke off.”
Oh yeah, good idea! Before this strike I only heard of Mastodon. Didn’t like it because it was so twitter-esque. I wasn’t even aware that there are other federated networks which are similar to reddit… If all of my posts and comments said something like “user moved to lemmy.world” I’d spread the word that there are alternatives.
That is a impossible endeavor. There are countless “news” sites that all push this kind of drivel. If it is anything like YouTube It probably doesn’t even care about your suggestions anyway. I select that I’m not interested in something all the time on YouTube and then they just keep recommending the same channel or the same genre of content.
It points to the lemmy instance the post has been published on. It is useful if you want to share a generic link to a post with someone and maybe don’t want to share the information on what instance you created your account on, because the other permalink button always references to the instance of your account.
I’ll check once the blackout is over. I guess I could have seen a repost, but I feel like OP was answering questions so if so they were committed to the scam.
