I blame the people publishing the articles but I also understand they're playing in a rigged game. The platforms (facebook, reddit etc) that they depend on to get views REQUIRE headlines to be insane clickbait.

If I were the boss of Lemmy I would mandate that all communities require de-clickbaited headlines but what can you do.

It's definitely the first thing I thought of too

This is my not-safe-for-Reddit opinion but I thought the S1 Klingons were great, interesting and impressive.

I have a feeling even the bottom 10% of Europeans are still contributing more than the bottom 10% of someone in India or Botswana. This Wikipedia page says that the average EU citizen contributes 117% of the global average carbon emissions (for comparison Canada is 307% and USA is 285%).

In response to the closure of the library entrance to Canadians—who represent at least half of the library’s clientele—the Haskell did what libraries do: found a way to serve its community anyway. It opened a back door, allowing all Canadians to continue to access the library via a small storage room, without crossing the border. Haskell also set up a fundraising drive to renovate this entrance and make it more accessible, asking for $100,000. In under two weeks, it raised $170,000 and counting. The library is essential. The community and the country at large are responding.

Yes a very good point, the carbon footprint of the average Canadian is 10x that of the average Albanian.

If an instance has a lot of spam, admins tend to notice and block it. In the future it's likely admins will have more tools too, but for now the system works pretty well.

👍

This comment is conveniently ignoring the part where the developers clarified that lemmy.ml is used for beta testing in a live environment and so it would be dishonest to claim that "development costs" and "hosting costs" could be meaningfully distinguished from one another.

I thought npr had 10 times fewer listeners

If you want to be depressed, Joe Rogan has 10 times that for single episodes.
