YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)

Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.

Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Partnered Communities:

YSK There’s someone running around Lemmy posting misinformation against Wikipedia (ponder.cat)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
422 comments fedilink hide all child comments
 

He generally shows most of the signs of the misinformation accounts:

  • Wants to repeatedly tell basically the same narrative and nothing else
  • Narrative is fundamentally false
  • Not interested in any kind of conversation or in learning that what he’s posting is backwards from the values he claims to profess

I also suspect that it’s not a coincidence that this is happening just as the Elon Musks of the world are ramping up attacks on Wikipedia, specially because it is a force for truth in the world that’s less corruptible than a lot of the others, and tends to fight back legally if someone tries to interfere with the free speech or safety of its editors.

Anyway, YSK. I reported him as misinformation, but who knows if that will lead to any result.

Edit: Number of people real salty that I’m talking about this: Lots

Could you be anymore vague

[–] [email protected] 99 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I was trying to talk about the situation without specifically linking to the comments or starting any kind of brigade situation. I figured being vague was better than being inflammatory, and anyone who cared enough would know what I was taking about, which seems to be accurate.

be anymore vague

  1. be any more vague

  2. be vague anymore

Don't split the lanes, man.

Thanks mom

I seriously don't understand this kind of reaction to being corrected about mistakes. All it does is show everyone that you're even dumber than previously shown via the mistake and makes it obvious you don't care to learn anything from it so you'll continue being just as dumb.
Learn from it instead and thank them for teaching you something.
But you're clearly not mentally grown and/or smart enough to not react like a 5-year-old to someone pointing out you've made a mistake. And it's hilarious that you don't realize how childish and dumb you make it clear you are by this kind of reaction and choosing to show it with a reply.

My response is lighthearted. Your comment is beyond rude and unnecessary. Please consider not going about your life ruining others' day.

Edit: How have 18 people found it worth while to downvote me asking someone to stop being rude?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I too, like to post idiotic things on the Internet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Stop being rude.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I believe some of us can still get a joke

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Wow you see someone dismiss a grammar nazi and feel incensed to write a paragraph attacking them.

I don't understand that behaivour.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Thanks for that, idk why I'm being attacked.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It's Musk, he's spreading the disinformation about how Wikipedia leaks your data

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Via Lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

Via people. Who go on Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Source?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

My source is it's a joke on how Musk is a misinformation merchant that profits from the attention of greedy and gullible chuds, or the outrage of people that feel disenfranchised by the billionaire class.
