Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Please shorten this comment it eats half the screen (mobile) on literally every post.

[–] kubica@fedia.io 12 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Does it not show the comment with collapsed spoilers in mobile?

[–] SteveFromMySpace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

Not on Memmy no. screen shot of bot comment on memmy

Also just put “donate here.” We don’t need to see that fake plea with the heart 40 times a day

May want to look into an app that was not abandoned.

[–] SteveFromMySpace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sure but with or without proper spoiler tagging, seeing all that dozens of times a day is annoying. The donation request/bot information can be done with way fewer words or emojis that are too cute by a half

“This action was performed by a bot. Please consider donating here.”

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

I do not disagree with you, I think the bot is garbage. It could just post the rating and be done.

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

It’s honestly too long even when the client does properly implement spoiler tags.

That being said you should request proper spoiler tag rendering from your client devs too. It’s a nice feature and does make the bot somewhat more bearable.

It really should just say:

MBFC rating: [rating].

Consider donating here.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Its does, but even then it takes up a lot of space due to how its formatted. Also the 2 links get special treatment on some apps which leads to them taking up as much space as the text.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Nope. Not on Sync.

[–] barbossa404@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago

When using the Connect app it doesn't collapse unfortunately, probably the same for other apps as well
