Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they’ve since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.
I think it’s the one sub that I miss that would lend itself well to having a bot repost them since you’re not supposed to contact the op anyway. I don’t know how to do bots and I think it would be an easy success if someone wants that.
That’s a good idea, it’s been a minute since I’ve done that. Is there a way I can do that through lemmy or do I have to use an add on for my browser like Feedly?

I’m on world, so it must be the bug for me. It’s happened like 3x in the last day. They were all about peertube and how you can live stream “now” (3 years ago). Which is cool that it can do that actually.

I’m not anti science but you have to follow the money. Who are paying for the studies no matter where they’re done? I believe in science as a process of learning and science is telling me there are a lot of mistakes and bias in science. Of course not all of them, but enough to take it all with a grain of salt.
I think he means performance marketing www.shopify.com/blog/performance-marketing. The ad placement is more to the point. If you put up a pop up where it’s hard to find the x or right next to the next button where it’s hard not to click.
I would still like to communicate more easily with the other clubs though, copying, pasting and searching is kind of a pain. I think it would make it more fun.
From @beigegat’s article it says that from real expieriences it’s 31.5C
The oft-cited 35C value comes from a 2010 theoretical study. However, research co-authored by Kenney this year found that the real threshold our bodies can tolerate could be far lower. “Our data is actual human subject data and shows that the critical wet-bulb temperature is closer to 31.5C,” he says.

“Standards for the exact length of an inch have varied in the past, but since the adoption of the international yard during the 1950s and 1960s the inch has been based on the metric system and defined as exactly 25.4 mm.”
In many other European languages, the word for “inch” is the same as or derived from the word for “thumb”, as a man’s thumb is about an inch wide (and this was even sometimes used to define the inch[4]).
I haven’t found any issues with Reuters but AP did this which is suspect on many levels:
Migrant Boat NFT
On January 10, 2022, AP announced it would start selling non-fungible tokens (NFTs) of their photographs in partnership with a company named Xooa, with the proceeds being used to fund their operations.[103] One of the NFTs they promoted on Twitter on 24 February was an aerial shot depicting an overcrowded migrant boat in the Mediterranean Sea. The tweet received negative backlash from users and other journalists, with AP being accused of profiting off of human suffering and the picture choice being “dystopian” and “in extremely poor taste”. The tweet was subsequently deleted and the NFT, which was to be sold the next day, was pulled from market. Global director of media relations Lauren Easton apologized, saying “This was a poor choice of imagery for an NFT. It has not and will not be put up for auction […] AP’s NFT marketplace is a very early pilot program, and we are immediately reviewing our efforts”.[104][105]
They aren’t great when you see a lot of their stories go by at one time, it’s not consistent.
Someone (maybe you?) is going to have to be the place to go to as a place to trust to not alter headlines and aggregate. This issue here now is moderation, one person can’t do it all but no one wants to do it either
The lemmy.world politics posts and feels like the one at Reddit but also includes all of the trolls. I’ve seen it be successful at Reddit when it’s heavily moderated but that’s a lot of work. It’s too bad that the news stations or agencies don’t get together and put up their own instance. On Mastodon they have an aggregator that posts from all of the most reliable sources but no one uses it to talk really. I think there is a solution that hasn’t been thought of yet.

@ChatGPT/lemmings.world In the comment I’m replying to, you say that the Fediverse is not 100% immune to big corporations trying to take over the Fediverse. Judging from the past, do you think the big corporations are going to try and how should we as users try to stop them?...
Important to remember though, it doesn’t actually know what it is saying, conceptually. All its really doing is mathematically calculating the string of words based on how frequently they appear in similar contexts. It’s summarizing from what it has read, basically.
So basically, it’s a politician. 😏 Tbf, a politician that’s correct.

Would someone build a bot and sub that reposts best of reddit updates?
I think it’s the one sub that I miss that would lend itself well to having a bot repost them since you’re not supposed to contact the op anyway. I don’t know how to do bots and I think it would be an easy success if someone wants that.
