Star Trek man sits funny.

For real this seems like a major red flag.

Cool, now make the search useful again by letting me do -thingIdon’twant or “thing I do want” in quotes. Why did that functionality even go away? Search is such garbage now that tries to get you to click on shit you didn’t search for.

I love the content/creators, but hate the company that runs it. Sadly, unless you are willing to give up the channels you love there isn’t much in the way of alternatives.

From where I sit, this instance of Lemmy is too small to worry about bots denying the users. 😉

Is it? I myself have gone to post something I found interesting, and saw a bot beat me to the punch. I feel it hurts the smaller communities even more. You end up with those bot post graveyards. Though, I get this a complete non-issue to some; It’s why I suggested letting the communities and moderators themselves decide. I see no harm in that.

My personal preferences make me more likely to comment and contribute to content posted by other humans. I get lemmy is small right now, but I don’t see why communities should wait to address these bots when they are already clearly a divisive subject.

The problem is that this seems like a band-aid fix to me. I mentioned this in another thread, but I feel like the bot posts deny the human chance to post and engage with the same content. When a human is the one to create the post they often have both knowledge and passion for the subject and will continue to engage in the comments. Bots do not.

I think ultimately this is something that should be handled by community mods. Ask for feedback from their communities, and if it’s what the people want disallow the bot posts.

It’s legitimately one of the best Star Trek movies.

Wow, 50% for Fear and Loathing is absolutely criminal. It’s what made me aware of Hunter S. Thompson in the first place—and it prompted me to delve into his other works. It also deepened my appreciation for Transmetropolitan’s Spider Jerusalem, who was blatantly inspired by him.

Hook with it’s 29% tomatometer rating. Dustin Hoffman—sexual misconduct allegations aside—fucking nailed it as Hook, and I think the general concept of an adult Peter Pan returning was pretty cool. Also, who doesn’t love Robin Williams? It was a movie I loved in my childhood so I am absolutely biased, but 29% seems absurd. I still find the “Don’t try to stop me, Smee” scene hilarious to this day.
