It sure is. Any context? Where was the photo taken? Does the dragon represent or symbolize anything?

I don’t really understand this kind of post. Anyone can just take any photo off a Google image search without knowing anything about it and just post it here, and that’s it. Am I missing something?

Hmm, this gives me manufactured engagement vibes. Like those mobile game ads (“only 10% of players are smart enough to complete this puzzle!”

Germany: Ukrainian refugees living in mining 'ghost towns' (www.dw.com)

If you open Google Maps to look at the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, you’ll notice three large pale patches. They represent three colossal open-pit mines — Inden, Hambach and Garzweiler — where the energy company RWE is extracting brown coal (lignite) from the earth....

This makes sense. Homes for a large numbers of additional people were needed, and these homes were available.

Not all clients support this (yet). I only found out about this recently and have to go to the browser to use the crosspost feature.

There is discussion on going at !news currently about new rules. Users posting the same story from the same source will be blocked by an automod. I asked about users posting the same story from different sources, and apparently that’s absolutely fine. So expect this problem to get a lot worse before steps have to be taken to make it better :/

Is it just because of a funding crisis, or is it also because of rising prices partly due to sheer profiteering?

New rule suggestion: song posts must include at least genre and year

When people post a link to a song, there is no way to tell what kind of music it is or what period it’s from. To help engagement and the user experience, I suggest we require people to at least write the genre and year in the title of their post. Bonus points for adding some explanation in the body of the post about the...

Regarding Rule 6, this seems to say that the same story with a different source is okay. I don’t think this should be the case. The same story regardless of source should not be reposted unless it adds new information.

soyagi ,

I strongly feel that we should not use clickbait headlines.

soyagi ,

So it’s okay for people to post the same story from different sources or not? It’s still not clear to me.

soyagi ,

“moderating it will be more difficult”. So does that mean it is allowed or not? If you “discourage spamming the same story over and over again”, do you mean from the same person, or from everyone? So if ten different people posted the same story from different sources, is that allowed or not? The rules are not clear, and your further explanation still isn’t clear to me.

I posted about this here hours ago.
