We’ve had some trouble recently with posts from aggregator links like Google Amp, MSN, and Yahoo.

We’re now requiring links go to the OG source, and not a conduit.

In an example like this, it can give the wrong attribution to the MBFC bot, and can give a more or less reliable rating than the original source, but it also makes it harder to run down duplicates.

So anything not linked to the original source, but is stuck on Google Amp, MSN, Yahoo, etc. will be removed.

      Don’t worry, that’s evident by your account approaching 50,000 downvotes in two months. You don’t need to say such obvious things.

        Crazy, right?!

        But I guess if I’m getting that many downvotes, some people are seeing me. Enough for me to get all those downvotes. And they are interested in me enough to not block me!

        That’s interesting. Thanks for the shoutout! :)

          Trust, I know that you’ve got a major case of main character syndrome, but unfortunately it’s not that a lot of people are seeing you, it’s that you post so much propaganda and spam that it really starts to add up.

          I mean, right now you’re averaging 13 downvotes for every submission and comment you have. 473 posts, 2890 comments, and about 45,000 downvotes total, and that’s all in the last two months since you created your account here. Those are some insane numbers. That’s like a downvote every two minutes for the last two months.

              You should totally keep them updated as they increase. Not only for me, but also so people immediately see how much of a main character you are.

                Good suggestion. I actually don’t keep track of those stats, but since you do, could you update me regularly on them? Thanks for your help! :)

                  Well, I’m sure I or someone else here will post them again because it’s such an incredible achievement. You’ve definitely got the #1 most downvotes on Lemmy, at least from what I’ve seen. I’ll include it with your greatest hits like “I only post the propaganda, I didn’t write it!” or “bring it up to the mods [so that I can hide behind them]”

            Doesn’t bother me at all.

            In fact, if people are getting so worked up just because I go against the status quo, that means I must be doing something right!

            So thanks for the stats—I may even add that info to my profile! (EDIT: Profile updated.)

            Feels pretty awesome, actually. Thank you! :)

              Now you’re using direct Trump quotes on top of just having main character syndrome? Are you Trump himself, or just following in his footsteps?

              Either way, it makes my job easier if you add it to your profile. I’ll still post them because most people avoid your profile altogether.

              This is a pretty standard far-right talking point, but makes no sense. By this logic, every serial killer and rapist must be “doing something right” just because they are going against the status quo and people don’t like them.
