@AgreeableLandscape@lemmy.ml - on the blogspam discussion, is this a case where I can start changing the URL to the right source? ZDNet is rarely the actual source for content. I’ve asked @strubbl@lemmy.ml previously why they aren’t linking to the direct source as they post slashdot often as well.

Edit: You know I could have sworn I could change submission URL on Lemmy, but can’t find the feature.

FYI, be cautious. I’d wait until it starts shipping at the least.

Thanks to both!

Just curious, can you see my comment below where I linked both of those already? Just wondering if it’s not viewable for whatever reason.

Direct links to stream:

• “NASA App”

• Twitch

• YouTube

A post the live stream when it starts:

• Facebook

• Twitter

Yeah, I don’t understand why someone would submit a link aggregator to a link aggregator. Makes me wonder if the blogspam discussion applies: https://lemmy.ml/post/60793

That said, linking to other discussions is welcome as a comment imo.

OP, any reason why you post slashdot instead of right to the source?

Removing blogspam increases quality, no question. I keep meaning to write better feedback for Lemmy with what I’ve learned over the years, but blogspam is a hot topic of mine so I’ve listed some thoughts here.

One addition to your list is insistent self-linking to the website itself at many points through the story, very little sources outside of themselves.

Blogspam usually copies or re-writes source content that is usually linked in the story. A big problem with Linux news are the re-writes of mailing list posts with added opinion.

On top of ads, referral links are common, especially by gaming and hardware blogs.

Finally, and it’s hard to describe, but a lot of blogspam sources have a cult following. If they take action to harass people because their content was removed, they should be banned entirely. I’ve had two website owners get their little cultists to harass me because their content was removed.

They can email too if preferred to not use GitHub.

Welcome! I’ve been inactive but glad to see Pokemon community has grown!

Please open the GitHub as linked below or post in /c/lemmy_support. c/linux wasn’t the right place for this post.

Thanks!

Wife pointed out there’s still lots of buns from the last experiment so waiting a bit longer before I can get to these.
