That’s funny. It’s a play on an album name and motel 6

It was baby cats

the fact that admins and mods didn’t care makes me understand why they felt the need to point it out in the comments

That is EXACTLY why I did it. I thought that if I could get more users to report those accounts, and if they did, the mods and admins would do something about it.

Not coincidentally, /r/wholesomememes was the worst of all the subs. The overwhelming majority of obvious organized bot rings were operating there. The mods told me they knew and didn’t care because it was an opportunity for users to see content they hadn’t seen before (completely missing the point)

There was r/catsstandingup(?) as well that just responded “cat.” Never considered the conspiratorial angle there…

If I cared about reddit anymore, I’d dig into that

Lol. There is no way to do it efficiently. I did it in the way you described every time, and I reported literal thousands to reddit’s admins (and never got a single response) and was banned by multiple subreddits because I was “annoying” when I reported bots to sub mods. I also called bots out in comments and provided evidence when I did. Nobody cared.

When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I rolled out. I didn’t realize how bad reddit had become and how much I hated the site. I’m much happier here with less content and without a bot infestation. Additionally, I’m sure users, mods, and admins WOULD care if I reported that sort of thing on Lemmy

I was a bot hunter on reddit and was asked to mod /r/kittengifs because of my ability to find them. There were like 5 legitimate posts in 6 months

I also use Voyager, and the only requirement it doesn’t meet is blocking domains/sources (like, say anything by the New York Post).

Unless that feature exists and I’m just not aware…

Ah, yes. The totally relevant story about a celebrity bicycle accident in World News…

Sure, we used to do that, but huddling around a computer when we were watching kind of got in the way and added an unnecessary barrier. Flipping though the plex UI with the remote works a lot better and has fewer logistical concerns for us

Uh, my wife and I? I have porn on my server, which is not shared with any other people who have access. Not that anyone would care that my wife and I watch porn in our house on our server, but I think we’d both prefer plex didn’t email that to my parents and adult child once a month

Make sure the version of your torrent client is on the tracker’s whitelist

This is in no way a meme

California. The internet contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

He should see a doctor and get rid of it

Yeah, mostly!

Have I lost track of what memes are?

This is a meme?

I don’t think we do know that. I understand this article to say “here is the only evidence we have, and if it’s the only evidence we ever get, we believe it to mean x”

At this point, no. As I read this, this is the earliest homonine fossil to date, to include those found in Africa (by over a million years, no less). Again, as I read this, early primates left Africa and returned as hominids.

If this is true, it certainly upsets the apple cart regarding the hominid timeline. I’m no scientist, but my bet is the African fossil record is just incomplete, and eventually an ancestor to this creature will be found in Africa. I think it’s just a “this is the best evidence we have at the moment” kind of thing. Again, I’m just some jackwad on the internet, so probably don’t listen to anything I say
