I don’t think I’ve ever seen lemmy show up in web search results though. Reddit’s almost always at the top.

I lift weights and have sex with girls. Works for me.

It makes high-quality posts look the same as low-quality ones.

How does it do that?

It did answer that; by making them look like image posts.

Why would they do that?

The OP already answered that.

You’re really going to have to dumb it down for me, and I might not be alone given the number of down votes this post, and your comments get when you mention it.

Yeah, it’s pretty disturbing how many people are struggling to understand something fairly simple. But I’ll reword it in another post in the future.

It’s explained in the OP.

It makes high-quality posts look the same as low-quality ones.

No, i disagree, text and picture can showcase different kind of information that text are able to explain.

That’s bad English, and thus difficult to decipher, so I have to assume what you’re trying to say.

The OP is referring to memes and other screenshots of text (often social media posts). Nearly all of these are low-quality content. The “solution” offered by the Lemmy devs to block that stuff is blocking image submissions. I noted in other comments that it’s a flawed solution, but it’s the option we have. Of course it’s correct that text submissions can be poor quality too, but overwhelmingly, it’s images that are the problem.

futhernore I explained that the screenshoot showcased a browser UI

Images (and text) were included in the body of the post. It didn’t need to be submitted as an image post. I noted the future consequences of continuing to do that.

and the another one maybe a trick to escape copyrighted contend detection

Yes, there are instances where images are useful. I agreed that blocking all images is not a perfect solution, but I haven’t seen anyone present a better one.

Low-quality, easy-to-digest content will dominate and drown out everything else if no one does anything to limit it. It degrades the internet and our brains.

That’s not necessary true. It depends on the pics, and the text. There are some badly written text that could achieve the same result. It depends on lot factors.

This seems to display a lack of understanding of what the OP discussed. Did you read the link at the end that expounds?

There’s a long history of low-quality meme content ruining reddit subs. It’s become the norm on reddit; turning it from it’s former higher-quality content to just another low-quality facebook-like site. And it’s extremely common on Lemmy too.

they told you a valid point

They didn’t. That’s the primary reason I criticized them. They didn’t address a single point in the OP. If someone lays out a bunch of arguments for something, and someone comes along and posts a simplistic dismissal without addressing any of the arguments, that’s unintelligent.

Take a point in our argumentation for example :

“i disagree because this is not a screenshot of a browser. It degrades internet because it looks the same of meme, low quality post. High quality content are only written in long hard digest text”

This seems completely nonsensical, and like it was written by someone illiterate, or at best by someone who speaks English very poorly. I looked to see if you were pharaphrasing something in another comment, I only see one thing similar, which I’ll reply to.

This comment does not address any of the core arguments and thus seems largely unrelated/irrelevant.

I couldn’t think of a way to rephrase it so I asked a chatbot and they couldn’t come up with a valid alternative either.

Are you saying that no one participating on this sub is capable of making unintelligent remarks? Or that people can make as many unintelligent remarks as they like and no one is ever allowed to point it out?

Anyway, I tried really hard and rephrased it.

Replacing images with URLs makes viewing images slightly more difficult and doesn’t allow people to scroll endlessly through lots of images, so it could be a nudge in the right direction. But it’s probably inappropriate for most instances since it applies to all subs and basically ruins any sub where images are the main attraction.

That’s not correct. You seem to have not read the OP.

You’re consistently making nonsensical or erroneous comments, so I think the issue is on your end.

I don’t think so, and I don’t do low-effort posts.

That’s not what I said. You seem to be having some trouble understanding what’s being discussed.

You’re catering to people scrolling through Lemmy, looking at images. If you keep doing that, your posts are going to get automatically blocked by people who want to avoid meme content.

I never said I did. That’s a strawman.

Why you should stop making posts like this: https://sh.itjust.works/post/58189605

Ok, keep doing that, but your posts are going to start getting blocked by people who don’t want to see low-quality content.

That doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with low-effort, low-quality images and posts, which seem kind of self-explanatory.

That sounds like you didn’t even read the OP.

You should look up the definition of those words.

when they are so prolific

This is why the option to block images was implemented. Thus this thread.

1. Many communities aren’t “meme subs”, but allow meme/image content. That content then drowns out higher quality content because of how easy it is to digest. So people subscribed to the sub will generally only see low-quality meme content.

2. There’s no built-in way to block all meme-subs. You have to block them individually as you come across them. This is what I do now.

Could you elaborate?
