Off topic:
I’m new to Lemmy so I don’t know if there’s a good workaround for this, but OP posted this to /c/4chan as well as /c/greentext and both came to my feed one after the other.
Am I supposed to block OP for cross posting, block one of the two communities? Both ideas seem kinda stupid.
Scroll past the second one you see. Or if you never want to see a possible double post, then block one of the communities.
If you think something is wrong if you see the same thing more than once, you’re gonna have a bad time. Not only do things get crossposted between communities with different names, they also get crossposted between communities with the same name on different instances. Big political news often shows up a half-dozen times, or more.
TL;DR: get used to it.
Seeing double posts is IMO not frequent enough to require mechanisms to fix it (and I can’t even imagine a built-in mechanism against it).
c/greentext should be blocked because it’s full of annoying fake stories, though.
They’re also gay.
It’s because OP made two separate posts and therefore uploaded the image twice so lemmy doesn’t recognize it as cross-post (check the image URLs, they are different). If OP properly cross-posted it, the URL would be the same and you wouldn’t see it twice in your feed.
It’s something that the lemmy devs really ought to fix.
I would just ignore it once or twice, I don’t find it to be a big problem when browsing All. But if it becomes a repeat nuisance for you, since they seem to be two communities for basically the same thing, I would see if one is significantly more active than the other and block the less active one.
I usually ignore that kind of thing. If it’s excessive (5+ communities) and the user does it habitually, I consider blocking.
Some frontends, like PieFed’s, are smart enough to collapse crossposts into one entry, showing only the post with the most engagement.
And if the one with the most engagement has 100 posts, and the second one has 76 posts, what happens?
I don’t know the details of how PieFed does it, but there is a button underneath whichever post is considered the ‘main’ one where you can view the details of other crossposts and visit them if you like.
If this is a one-time event, I would ignore & move on. If I ever see more than three posts in a row by a user, I block that user. It doesn’t have to be permanent.
There’s no way Elon is as rich as Bezos lol. Does he claim to be the richest person in the world?
Edit: that’s crazy, like literally I’ve never used anything Elon’s companies have produced, and pretty much the whole web uses Amazon web services. Are emerald mines really that profitable? 🤣
Elon funded PayPal, and they forced him out when it became successful and he wanted to change its name to X. I’m not making that up. So you likely used PayPal at some point.
I think his stocks are inflated on his hype, and if you’re an American your taxes have got to him through NASA.
He seems to have a pretty heavy stake in pump & dump crypto schemes too
Can we try to keep the conversation separate? Despite the fact that fucking jackass owns SpaceX, they’ve been good for space tech. Tesla on the other hand haven’t done shit that other companies haven’t done better by now.
Fair enough for SpaceX, it’s only doing so well because he doesn’t control it.
Tesla isn’t even in the top 10 for either cars produced or revenue. It being the highest valued car manufacturer in the world is just empty hype.
I don’t always agree with 4chan but when I do…
The tabloids and Congress have the same class interests as Trump and Epstein, and the cranks need the special secret knowledge to feel like special smart boys.
…speaking of special smart boys, I genuinely struggle with how people can’t put these things together, and I’m definitely not one of the great minds of our time.
Conspiracy theorists are only interested in the idea of a conspiracy, and lose focus when the conspiracy is found to be true.
I have concepts of a conspiracy.
That’s were all that sweet, sweet serotonin is.
One statement that always works with republicans: Every accusation an admission.
I think you accidentally words
It’s an old play, spend years accusing someone of something you do, then whey they accuse you for doing what you do, you can call them childish for doing the “no you are!” argument, even though it’s true.
They’re all too happy to be “drinking liberal tears.” They never truly gave a shit about it, they just wanted “to win” and those perceived slights hinderd their chances at winning. Now that it’s in their favor they couldn’t possibly care less and if anything are happy it’s happening in part because of their lust for revenge and in part because they get “to win.”
Every accusation is a confession.
Well, it’s only a bad thing, if the others are doing it. Didn’t you know?
This is not a conspiracy theory. It’s a conspiracy observation.
The Theorying is half the fun
It’s like that Simpsons episode where Homer joins the group to find out what happened to I think a turtle that went missing. When they found out the truth, they got upset because they couldn’t theorize crazy shit anymore.
Yeah, well. That’s just, like, your theory, man.
Conspiratorial thinking starts with coming up with the conclusion and then piecing together (or manufacturing) evidence to support it.
These chodes would never start with the conclusion that one of their favorite fashy daddies did something wrong.
I’m shocked, did all of this happen while Brazil was banned? Goddamn I wish the japanese artists I follow left already.
Even greentext is a US presidential campaign now.
I think, it’s time to take a break from lemmy till December.
