Your submission in “Arnold (Schwarzenegger) reveals Chuck Norris’ last request” was removed as not uplifting.
I’m pretty sure you’ve confused H2G2 with The Marching Martians
Programmer HumorSTOP DOING “STOP DOING MATH” BUT ACTUALLY WANTING TO STOP THE DOING
- TEMPLATE WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO ACTUALLY STOP DOING MATH
- YEARS OF SNOWCLONING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for “greaphic desgni is my PASSION:”
- Wanted to play satire straight anyways for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called “FORREST GUMP”
- “Yes please give me pictures of BAD TEXT on backgrounds. Please give me BADDIES of it” - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged
LOOK at what Memers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the imgurs & reddits we built for them:
STOP DOING ‘STOP DOING “STOP DOING MATH” BUT ACTUALLY WANTING TO STOP THE DOING’ SINCE IT WANTS TO STOP THE DOING
They have played us for absolute fools

one moderator of !UpliftingNews@lemmy.world here! is it fine if i make a post (and maybe even edit into the itemized-rules post) directing schadenfreuders to your commag?
I would’ve removed this post if I saw it earlier. It’s an interesting article (that surprisingly hasn’t been posted anywhere else yet) but it documents another problem in our society, not any sort of progress or resolution. I would remove, say, “The fight to release the double-tap boat strike video” even if we didn’t have the toxic politics rule.
pinging some of the other mods for their thoughts: @NickwithaC@lemmy.world, @sga@piefed.social, @wolfeh@lemmy.world
Could you give some examples?
politicsThe article is about something much more sinister than not giving out appropriated money: The administration is now giving out nearly all of the appropriated money, but by paying a termed lump sum to far fewer projects—the only money these projects will ever get for at least four years, paid out in one payment right now, effectively halving the grant money projects receive while simultaneously meeting the obligations to congressional appropriations, decreasing investment in science and research, and preparing to allow for drastic budget cuts to science research next year.
The article explains this much better than I can, complete with visualizations after every sentence since this is _The Upshot _:
In the past, the N.I.H. typically awarded grants in five annual installments. Researchers could request two more years to spend this money, at no cost. Under the new system, the N.I.H. pays up front for four years of work. And researchers can get one more year to spend this money. Which means that they get less money on average, and less time to spend it.
As a result of this quiet policy shift, the average payment for competitive grants swelled from $472,000 in the first half of the fiscal year to over $830,000 in the last two months.
From $472,000–a-year to $830,000–for-four-years, and that’s unadjusted for inflation.
You Should KnowThe Conservative government response to a 2016–17 parliamentary petition demanding proportional representation said that "A referendum on changing the voting system was held in 2011 and the public voted overwhelmingly in favour of keeping the FPTP system."[209] Tim Ivorson of the electoral reform campaign group Make Votes Matter responded by quoting the petition's text that "The UK has never had a say on PR. As David Cameron himself said, the AV referendum was on a system that is often less proportional than FPTP, so the rejection of AV could not possibly be a rejection of PR."[210]

Dang, beat me to it
wasted a share 😭
I think the uplifting part of this is supposed to be that more people are going for more non-perishable foods that'd last longer and give families more means to survive than measly plastic-wrapped bars. It's... a stretch, but I don't think we should remove it. Feel free to downvote the post if you don't think it's a good fit for our commag.
Uplifting News@lemmy.world
I am once once again asking for your bars—what should be the bar/criteria for removal?
I think we should ask for and respect the decision of the community instead of imposing our own judgements. And of course, we still remove personal attacks (not that your admittedly negative-ish comment counted as one /gen).
Uplifting News@lemmy.world
What would be your criteria for removing a post as "orphan crushing machine"?
(Also, political posts meeting the "More clarification" paragraph at https://lemmy.world/post/30918729 are already removed, the most recent but weak example being the post on Sanders having his tour go to NYC for a Mamdani town hall.)

I would've removed the post if I saw it before it gained traction. The thing with these things is people usually upvote them because they see it at !all instead of thinking it fits !upliftingnews, and too much of these posts can dilute the quality of our community and drive away users who wanted the specific thing we're looking for.
you know what?
you've just darn saved this post from removal, my friend.
This might break rule b) and I don't find it uplifting (a bit orphancrushingmachine when you think about it, even) but I don't think there's much use in deleting this at this point.

[Meta] Negativity in Comments
Recently, we merry mods have been noticing many-a-comments being in the report queue for perceived negativity (the aim of the community being to provide "a break from the incessant negativity and rage"). What actions should we do about these, if any? Do we need a newsome another-rule for this?
