We’ve had some trouble recently with posts from aggregator links like Google Amp, MSN, and Yahoo.

We’re now requiring links go to the OG source, and not a conduit.

In an example like this, it can give the wrong attribution to the MBFC bot, and can give a more or less reliable rating than the original source, but it also makes it harder to run down duplicates.

So anything not linked to the original source, but is stuck on Google Amp, MSN, Yahoo, etc. will be removed.

    I don’t believe my posts are either of those, but you are free to believe what you want to believe.

    I respect your right to have your opinion, even if it differs from mine. Thank you! :)

      I do, and Lemmy agrees, so I’m happy with that. Everyone can have an opinion, but like most of Lemmy, I don’t respect yours because it’s based in propaganda and right-wing talking points.

        As you point out, not all of Lemmy agrees with you.

        Some seem to be interested in the articles I post. So no worries.

        Thanks for the interesting discussion, friend! :)

          Oh, right, like 4 other third party protest voters, too. Can’t forget them! Too bad there’s so few of them here, otherwise you might not always swim in downvotes.

              There really are very few of them if your posts are staying in the negative like that. You’d think you protest voters would be able to at least help eachother out, but I guess that’s why third parties will never have a chance under the EC.

                  Don’t worry, that’s evident by your account approaching 50,000 downvotes in two months. You don’t need to say such obvious things.

                    Crazy, right?!

                    But I guess if I’m getting that many downvotes, some people are seeing me. Enough for me to get all those downvotes. And they are interested in me enough to not block me!

                    That’s interesting. Thanks for the shoutout! :)

                Hmmm, as of right now, your comment is negative. Strange how things turn out sometimes.

                But of course that wouldn’t stop you, right? Just like it won’t stop me.

                Why would it? Downvotes aren’t really important.

                I just post the links to articles, I don’t write them, so downvotes don’t affect my life at all. Nor should they affect yours. Thank you!

                  It really is strange that all of my recent (meaning, last hour or less) comments to you would go negative right after I brought it up, including in a chain of comments that goes 15 deep. It’s almost like someone lost an argument, got butthurt, signed into an alt account and downvoted the other person. I wonder who would do something like that… could it be the same person who I called out for doing this same exact thing in the past, where they downvoted my comments far below where most people would care to interact?

                  Nonetheless, if I have to take 2 downvotes here and there, it’s fine, because it will never reach your 50,000, alt accounts or not.

                    Well, I don’t have any alt accounts and I haven’t signed out, so I don’t know.

                    But like I said, downvotes don’t matter to me. Don’t let them get to you either. Thank you! :)
