Anyone who is considerable enough to use “edit:” for legitimate reasons would not be the people who would be deceptive and change their posts to reflect a new opinion.
“edit: typo” is essentially just a defense against an imaginary accusation that you were being malicious.
By all means, edit posts to include extra information as an appendage, but closing with “edit: added info” is not very helpful.
This reply triggered an unhealthy emotional reaction in me. I interpret the tone as accusatory and leaves little room for a charitable interpretation of what I said. I don’t feel like I can respond to your criticism without arguing.
This is my impression too. I see day-old posts with new comments on refresh, so I’m assuming you’re right. Maybe algorithm isn’t the right word, but you get what I mean.
Not to mention the mothers are distressed that their babies have been taken away from them. It’s heartbreaking to hear them screaming when they know another calf has be taken, and won’t come back.
I would like to see these categories in a cascaded list. For example, if there was a list for location-based communities, I could block “cities” and “countries” but leave and “continents” active.
This way I can still see news about “Europe”, but not the communities of languages I don’t speak.
I like that idea, but at the moment, Lemmy needs engagement with up-and-coming communities, so I want to boost content I think is good, not just from communities I’m explicitly interested in.
