Because it’s like a dozen fucking people who post 90% of the content. I blocked like, I dunno – 20 people, and it took care of MOST of the weird ass fetish stuff popping up in my feed, leaving the odd cutie here or there.
I’d rather have a severe lack of farmed content, for a lot more genuine posts. Regardless of if it’s “dead” or not. If I see users with like 20k post points, and 100 comment points, I block them.
If there was a way to automatically do this (only show content from users with a certain ratio of posts to comments), I would.
You can post a fuckton and still be “geniue” like most of my shitposting is shit I see on Instagram. The fact of the matter is if there was no content then this site would go dead. And then you’d leave. Do you see the catch 22 of your attitude? Honestly, you seem like a extremely pretentious person. The kind of person that just looks for a vague idea of perfection and lives in a perpetual state of disappointment when nothing matches it.
How is that weird? Most normal people comment far more than they post content. It’s content and link farmers, as well as bots who have the ratios that they do when it comes to posts vs comments.
Like you… thumbsnap, thumbsnap, thumbsnap, thumbsnap… same fucking domain over and over again. Just farming up hoovered content, stripping original authors and lacking credit on where the content came from. You’re a great example, thanks for the reply.
Bro I post relentlessly because I am suicidally depressed and being able to help make other people happy makes me feel less shitty. I think it’s kind of an insane take to say “If someone posts a lot then they’re content/link farmers” as if there aren’t a thousand different reasons why someone would post.
That’s just making some wild assumptions while being toxic as hell towards those you don’t know.
Don’t listen to them, you do good work friend. I know holidays can be rough and depression makes everything harder. I’m just a pm away if you need a sympathetic ear who gets it
I'm doing it to drive traffic to communities I run (and the platform in a more general sense). I'm not a bot, I don't care about personal upvotes or boosts. Small reddit-like sites need content.
I mean, content is great – and you’re not a person I’d consider for blocking. Your ratio of content to comments is lopsided toward the content, but it’s not like these guys with 400k post and 2k comments. There’s a threshold. I block people who aren’t genuinely interested in communication on the platform.
Right? “I don’t like people who post a lot.” Dude. It’s a fledgling site. Reddit openly admitted to fleecing traffic when it was starting out but this dudes angry that users are engaged with Lemmy and wanna help it grow and provide content?
Guessing the dude has me blocked already and there’s not going to be anything of positive value lost from my comment sections.
Eh, it is what it is. Some people are just miserable assholes who want to inflict it on everyone else. Says everything about them and nothing about me. The fact that I’ve got trolls following me around and downvoting everyone of my comments or messaging everyone in a thread to lie about me is just proof I’m doing something right.
I meant OLED burn in specifically but I suppose a screensaver would technically work, although I prefer the pixel shift hack available on some devices. Does stuff like draw status bar icons with a dithering pattern and swaps the on pixels with their off neighbors. Dunno if it actually works as intended though. The phone that had it got destroyed.
I use an LG C1 as my primary display now. After Rtings video and data on burn in there’s no need for FUD.
Even if I were to use my display for 6 hours a day for 3 years only watching CNN, which is a crazy test, the burn in is minimal. Rtings results. And the LG C2 basically has none, which shows how much better tech has gotten.
Unlike CRTs, OLEDs don’t burn in. They burn out. So you can even out the wear and mitigate it. As long as you run compensation cycles for TFT layer retention it’s fine. You can notice the whole screen shifts a pixel at times, but it’s not often (once every hour?). I use an all-black screensaver that kicks in after 5 minutes.
I wouldn’t trust Samsung’s code though. They don’t run maintenance cycles sometimes. Maybe you can fix it by being on top of when Samsung fails to do it manually, but it’s good knowing this LG will probably last me yet another couple of years. And by then, I’ll probably want a better TV/monitor anyway.
Phones don’t have all these features IIRC. TVs are built for longer use. Maybe that’s intentional.
