Yep.
The first thing they taught us in my graduate level statistics class was:
Anyone can make a statistic that backs up their bias. You're here to learn how to accurately represent a situation with statistics, and be able to point out when others are misusing statistics
That's the hard part
Even if they do, every article about Twitter comes with:
Twitter responded to inquiries with the poop emoji, as they do every time.
This is worse, because reddit is saying if anything was wrong, they would have responded. So it looks like reddit just agrees with anything that doesn't get a response.
How funny would it be if it leads to a shit show where actual journalists start demanding their fair share of advertising generated off their articles?
Reddit can beat mods because of money, but these giant media conglomerates both have money and are hurting their own advertising numbers because 99% of redditors never read the article. They have motivation and opportunity to get legal
The BJP government has said they will press charges against the high ranking BJP politician who sexually abused the wrestlers...
I hope I'm wrong, but I fully expect the BJP to investigate themselves and declare they found no wrong doing.
There's two reasons Biden said it was a good thing
The military industrial complex will make a bunch of money off India.
Modi's desire to fuck over his own citizen to grab the title of "the world's sweatshop" from China.
We can do better than someone willing to pretend Modi is a decent human and not a racist monster.
Unfortunately our next presidential election the choice will be Biden or trump/DeSantis.
So we need to wait another 5 years before that's possible.
It's gaming an algorithm.
Big deals like this aren't made off one person's decision, there's all these metrics that are supposed to show the health of a company. But like anything, if you know the metrics you can just focus on that even if it's the literal worst thing to do. It pumps the metrics.
They're not trying to keep reddit alive forever, they want to juice the metrics so it's worth the absolute most on IPO day. It's all they care about.
Why is half of it asking for investments?
Wouldn't it be a better idea to just link the actual Daily Beast article
Wedge something under the lock so it stays up, then put tape over it to hold it in place.
Pretty sure they're out of air by now.
Even if they made it to the surface, you can't open it from the inside. There's no rescue mission, just recovery
Volume, and diversity of opinions.
On Reddit I browsed "new" or "rising" and just subs I was subscribed too was enough for a steady stream of content.
On Lemmy even including all instances, there's not a whole lot on "new".
Which is good, because it makes it easier to find communities to subscribe too and also the problematic ones so you can block them and never see them again.
But low users mean most communities are dead. There's a Fantasy Football sub for example, there's 3 other people on it tho, so it won't really be very useful this season.
The ADL isn't perfect, but it's better than mint press...
It's the result of Prosperity Jesus.
They believe they're wealthy because they have natural talent. It ignores lots of people are more talented, and never got the same opportunities to be successful.
In a real apocalyptic disaster, they'd be the ones real leaders sentence to death (either overt or shunning them from the group) to set an example for the rest of the group.
