That’s almost certainly from a Brit.

Could be either.

The article shows that that’s not what’s going on:
YouTube, which is owned by Google, confirmed to The Intercept that it deleted the groups’ accounts as a direct result of State Department sanctions against the group after a review. The Trump administration leveled the sanctions against the organizations in September over their work with the International Criminal Court in cases charging Israeli officials of war crimes.
“Google is committed to compliance with applicable sanctions and trade compliance laws,” YouTube spokesperson Boot Bullwinkle said in a statement.
Did you read the article or just the headline?
And then the other guy reverted that… eatingpopcorn.gif
Recently while troubleshooting I’ve found a lot of deleted comments with dozens of people saying thanks, often for years afterwards. Reddit annoyed their most valuable posters and we’re all paying for it.
Then the UK’s equally dumb: it was 10:04 pm BST (GMT+1) cos daylight savings is a thing in most of Europe too. At least it’s synchronised across Europe[1] so you just need to remember that most[2] of North America changes a few weeks earlier.
Also, the UK says GMT/BST which is nice and clear - calling both EST and EDT “Eastern Time” makes even more of a mess!
And yes, I’ve just rediscovered you can use footnotes, why do you ask?
The duplicate content thing is kinda impossible to solve perfectly. Some people will tell you it’s a feature, and it can be interesting to see the different instances’ comment sections (especially after moderation), but yeah it can be annoying to have your feed dominated by a few stories.
The default web front-end will merge crossposts, but won’t if they’re multiple posts to the same URL. I think some of the apps do have that deduplication as a feature, but I couldn’t tell you which.
I remember the same problem from my Reddit days, but there wasn’t generally so many similar, overlapping communities.
From the Lemmy docs:
My default is set to
This is the newest sorting option, I think, and it helps me not miss posts from the smaller comms - particularly ones where people are asking a question and there’s been no engagement. Ideally I’d like to have Mastodon-style lists so I could have “quiet comms” or something and check them all every so often.
I will switch to new or top 6h/24h if I’ve been on recently and just want to see what’s fresh. Top all time or 1y if I’m looking at new-to-me comms so I can see what type of thing to expect from it.
There’s no algorithm here*, so use the different sorting options (for both posts and comments), as well as setting your favourite as default once you see what works for you.
* the different sort options are of course algorithms, but I mean there’s no automatic, manipulative system like YouTube’s “The Algorithm”, Facebook, TikTok, etc.
Voting doesn’t tune your algorithm, so I’d say only use downvoting for things that are low quality, trolling, in the wrong sub, duplicate posts, etc. Your votes aren’t private, by the way - although Lemmy itself doesn’t display voters’ names, that info is in every server’s database, and some other software in the Fediverse does show them.
There are quite a few apps available, I like Voyager on Android and I stick to the default website on my computer.
Also these can be good sources:
I think scaled is better than hot otherwise you’ll never see anything from your small communities.
Sometimes I get downvotes that make no sense, so I just chose to believe it was an accident.

Edit: I’m getting upvotes but I’m not technically in the right here…
It uses a neutral net that he designed and trained, so it is AI. The public’s view of “AI” seems mostly the generation stuff like chatbots and image gen, but deep learning is perfect for science and medical fields.
I found his paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/ad7fe6 (no paywall 😃)
From the intro:
VARnet leverages a one-dimensional wavelet decomposition in order to minimize the impact of spurious data on the analysis, and a novel modification to the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to quickly detect periodicity and extract features of the time series. VARnet integrates these analyses into a type prediction for the source by leveraging machine learning, primarily CNN.
They start with some good old fashioned signal processing, before feeding the result into a neutral net. The NN was trained on synthetic data.
FC = Fully Connected layer, so they’re mixing FC with mostly convolutional layers in their NN. I haven’t read the whole paper, I’m happy to be corrected.
I wasn’t entirely serious, but…
If memory serves, you just add lemmyverse.link/ after the https:// bit, so it’d be
https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40704282
It looks like lemsha.re works similarly:
https://lemsha.re/https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40704282
It’s a bit weird that it insists on the link being via https but then includes that in the url…
You missed a great opportunity to use lemshare/lemmyverse here
I do if I can raise the laptop up so that the screen is where it should be for good ergonomics.
It’s the meme version of a laugh track
I guess some people might go with f-s-tayb, but I wouldn’t necessary recognise what they were saying.
