  • It’s impossible really to say. This was their official code citation:

    Over the past few months, we have carefully recomputed historical votes on posts and comments to remove outdated, unnecessary rules.

    I mean on the face of it, maybe they were telling the truth?

    But they are a for profit corporation, and that year forward was when the enshittification really began. I guess I just have little reason to believe that they didn’t just alter the algorithm to make it look like there was more engagement than there was.







  • There are some punctuation errors in your title. It should read:

    Plex is “overhauling” its apps with a redesign and under-the-hood “upgrades”

    Those who use Plex to access personal media will find that their libraries are in a dedicated [hidden] tab, while the Watchlist will take up prime real estate in the top navigation section. Plex says it also streamlined the user menu for quick access to things like your profile, friends and watch history.

    So they’re hiding the entire point of Plex deep in the menu and promoting things that make them money. Enshittification.

    I don’t really know which journals are good/bad beyond the big names ones, nature, plos, elsevier, etc.

    You won’t be banned for posting journal links. The only time that would happen was if it happened continuously and had a pattern and multiple reports. I don’t think there has ever been a permanent ban here.

    Id recommend looking up your topic in a big name journal just to play it safe. Better science, less misinformation.

    I’d like to build/find a list of the best journals to add to the sidebar.

    I completely agree.

    I liked askhistorians, as I felt like the moderation added to the quality a lot, but /r/science never seemed to achieve that level of quality. Though when they did start with the heavy moderation/clear rules with tags (I think flair was a later addition) it was a marked improvement off what it was before.

    I’m open to suggestions, and I’ll just leave the draft rules up for awhile to get feedback.

    That’s what high beams are for… Cars don’t need to light the dark side of the moon, drivers only need to see the roadway in front of them. Both provide ample illumination, it’s just one allows you to see the color of a zit on a mouse 3 miles away, which is entirely not necessary for safe night driving.

    And I was saying that some higher end incandescent lamps are equivalent to some LEDs. I know there are LEDs that far exceed the lumens of traditional lamps.
