There is not much stopping them. All the more reason to boycott. There are small trustworthy, non-politically-leaning news sources still worth using.

I only keep my account for family and close friends. Occasionally I will see pages I follow. Every comment, just about, on that post is people either continuing the conversation for the Reddit post or a joke about the type of content. I figure, they get a lot of engagement when they first started doing this, and just followed the pattern to keep people seeing them in their feed. Same gimmick as the rage bait and the pseudo-wholesome content.

It is a good distraction. But heck, I wish I could just copy and paste quotes from social media as a ‘journalist’ for a large company like that. It’s all the article was with only a few sentences from the writer. They pretty frequently post ‘everyday-type’ stuff like this.
- Comment on So glad they are reporting what matters and not some mundane thing. 1 day ago:
No, it was just an article, primarily written by the aforementioned Reddit poster and the commenter. There was little input by the ‘journalist’. Now, I can’t say the same about the OP of the Reddit post. Maybe that had a hidden meaning but I doubt it. But it doesn’t surprise me coming from Fox, it is just funny they have nothing better to write about.(they do this often) On social media every day there is a story with similar merit as this one, they could just do this every day. My point. And still be watched/read. But it is for this reason, I keep following their page: to find humor in the comments.

I guess they don’t count their own ads
- Comment on Some eggs for my 'murican friends 4 weeks ago:
The American version is two packaged chocolate halves. The toy is in the middle. The original is banned by FDA in America because it has the plastic egg within the chocolate egg and there is a clause in the FDA regulations that says non food items cannot be within packaging unless necessary. And the toy is not necessary according to them. The taste is a texture (shape) difference. Ingredients are the same as far as I know.

I mean we have them just not the ones with plastic in them. I guess they wouldn’t quite taste the same.

I didn’t say they shouldn’t exist, just to be more regulation
- Comment on Anon is karming 5 weeks ago:
No, because I like having conversations with people uninterrupted, when it gets removed and I have done nothing wrong, it is rude.

There are abusive mods on all platforms

I only wish I had land, lol. I see you suffer from RAS syndrome as well.
- Comment on Why do many lame or incorrect comments get so much more attention than some witty or funny ones? 5 weeks ago:
So something controversial sparking outrage should get upvotes instead of down votes? Statistically? Because when I disagree or dislike something I downvote, dislike etc. Is the opposite more common?
- Comment on Why do many lame or incorrect comments get so much more attention than some witty or funny ones? 5 weeks ago:
I agree with the first part, but the second while I also agree, my comment wasn’t a “stupid question” that would apply to this benefit. It was simply an observation with a false premise and an opinion expressed as a lame joke I made. I expected it to go south but it went well.
What I was asking was not why this phenomenon can be a good thing but why it would get nearly an exponentially larger amount of likes/upvotes than other posts and not downvotes instead. If they disagreed or were correcting/criticizing me, wouldn’t it follow for the comment to be down voted? I know some people view down ones as agree/disagree or like/dislike, or whether it fits the community, but logically it would seem since they expressed they didn’t like why I said in the comments, they or other readers would have downvoted me.
Unless people just wanted to bring it to everyone else’s attention, idk . The entire comment in question was a faux pas that I left unchecked and then somehow a success. Don’t really care about the “points” but it just sparked my curiosity why all of a sudden, compared to other countless times that I make similar comments, that this one was an outlier.
- Comment on Anon is karming 5 weeks ago:
I got one like this. It didn’t break the rules but was very popular on Reddit. After about a day I got the mod removal comment and was pissed because it was a great discussion and everyone was civil. They said it didn’t “fit” the subreddit but it certainly did, no rule was applied nor could it.
Hate all mods on all platforms with a passion. No regulation whatsoever on how they should act. Making interactions unfair. Yet there is no consequence to them for this injustice. The unfortunate thing is that some subreddits or communities are too popular and are dominant so even if I created my own version with a similar topic and my own fair rules, to treat people more fairly, it wouldn’t be the same. Certain communities might be the only place on Reddit or Lemmy that I can talk about a certain thing and get the audience/answer/feedback I want.

You have to open in your phone’s external browser. I use chrome but I am sure other would work. When I clicked on it using Boost for Lemmy and it opened in the in-app browser, it didn’t work well.

Proton is Swiss I believe.
- Comment on MS new captcha: Why did it have to be that hard!?!? 1 month ago:
I do it for all free services. Like AI where you have daily limits. I thought about VPN but I don’t have the cost. It seems the only trusted free tier VPN is Proton bc they have a paid plan. I read good reviews and it didn’t seem to slow down anything noticeably.
- Comment on MS new captcha: Why did it have to be that hard!?!? 1 month ago:
I forget the name but I was looking for free versions of no code app builders to make a productivity app of my own and one did not have a way to sign up with any email only sign up with Google or MS. Also had to create this second MS account, triggering this captcha, originally because I was using MS designer to generate free AI images but the fast tokens run out 15 a day. So to exploit AI, I always use multiple accounts and it is an MS service. I have like 10 MS accounts now due to using up the free OneDrive storage plans.

Some services require an MS or Google sign in
