It’s a double-edged sword IMHO. On one hand, it means that people on Lemmy don’t need to give reddit any clicks / traffic in order to read the same stuff, but on the other hand, the sheer amount of reddit reposted content can easy drown out actually original content on Lemmy that might have been equally or more interesting. And if it looks like Lemmy content is 99% cloned stuff from reddit anyway, there’s no real incentive to prefer Lemmy content over reddit. Not many people actually take the time and dig deep for OC inbetween reposts.
What the Fediverse needs, is lots of original content not found anywhere else, but as long as the total userbase isn’t big enough to offer that on a consistent schedule, then copypasted content is still better than NO content at all …
Personally I dislike bots tho. If an actual human decides to repost interesting things from reddit and actively participates in discussions, that’s something I can get behind. A soulless bot just copypasting random stuff… no thanks.
The problem is that 99% I have to go to reddit for information, the information is in the comments, not the original post, and those dummy get brought over
A colleague dropped about 450 kg of ready to use drywall filler from 6m height right before his shift ended and mine started. I spent about 8 hours just cleaning up the biggest blobs with a snow shovel, that’s how much it was.
Reminds me of the novelisation of Day of the Tentacle that had the title “My Physics Adventure or It’s Never Too Late to Stop Pollution, So Let’s Start Yesterday”.
It makes it impossible to search about because most people understand subtitle to mean closed captions, I think.
I mean search engines just suck nowadays irregardless.
But feel free to found the “Society to Eliminate Homonyms or A Group of Like-minded Persons Seeking Clarity in the Meaning of Words and Greater Access to the English Language For All Peoples”. Just be careful with the autocorrect in the short title.
Anybody important will have had their name removed from the list already. After seeing the fallout for Prince Nonce of Nonceville, nobody else wants to be tarred with that brush
I just mean everyone’s implying all the rich and truly awful have made sure they are off the record by now which is clearly not the case with Andrew, leading me to question the sincerity or validity of that speculation hehe
Ahh, got you now, sorry for the confusion. I think Prince Nonce didn’t have the advanced notice (or the social equity (he was already disliked before this came out)) to buy his way out. Whereas people being announced this week have had months of advanced notice
I think they are fine for posts that don’t need engagement. The problem is, those bots also repost stuff of which comments need to be seen by the OP like AITA or posts asking for advice, things that the OP will never see if you comment here on lemmy. Those reposts are useless. Those bots should only be used for static content (pics, videos, etc.).
I think they’re just called subtitles, but I’d be happy for someone to prove me wrong because they deserve a more interesting term.
And just because no one else has said it I’ll ad one of my favorite book titles: “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.” Shelley showed off some of her writing chops right there on the cover. And its one of the only times I can use a semicolon and know that I’m doing so correctly.
Worse thing you’re going to see about bill Clinton is he flew on the plane. Epstein lent his plane out for various people to take to any number of places, charity events, whatever. There was some rumors about a pilot claiming Clinton visited the Island, but nothing that was confirmed by a second source that I recall. washingtontimes.com/…/bill-clinton-identified-as-…
About the same as most big scandals. Lots of noise and very few consequences. The damage control has somewhat started already. LOTS of people were “associated” with Epstein but that’s not a true implication of what their association was.
Well it’s kind of like that photo of Elon and Ghislaine. Does it raise questions? Oh yes. Does it automatically mean Elon has been raping kids? No. Those two rapists associated with lots of famous people. I think they got their in with a lot of people becauze of all the secret rapists they associated with. I don’t think every person who has associated with them was a rapist.
Jeff Davis of Whose Line, Harmontown knew Ghislaine from night life in LA. He talks about it in one of the last episodes of Harmontown when all this was coming out. They were socialites involved with everyone. It’s great cover, could even be black mail cover. Get an important person drunk or under the influence of something, get a sex worker to take them back to a room, film it. Awful people, but not dumb.
Both are clones of their Reddit counterpart, but Superbowls has actual fresh content from users here on Lemmy, and is quite active as a result.
Capybaras is just sad reposting from Reddit. Each post has little to no engagement
And his followers will excuse it in one of two ways:
It’s all fake. They’ll claim that the Democrats swapped the real list for the released “fake” list and that the real list has Biden’s name, not Trump’s. Their proof? Some YouTube video linked to from a Facebook post where a white guy wearing sunglasses in his truck says he saw the real list with Biden’s name on it!
Trump was undercover. They’ll claim that Trump was actually working undercover to expose these people. Being on the flight logs “proves” that he was only there to spy on these people. Why? Non-specific Excuse! Therefore, Trump’s name on Epstein’s list is actually a good thing and they support him more!
Meanwhile, the rest of us will scream in frustration.
