Blocked. Great idea, terrible execution

It's whatever app you're using that's the problem. It looks fine on a browser.

Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world on 31 Jul 2024 04:10 collapse

Meh, I’m not the only one who’s noticed and commented. It’s formatted in a way that’s very busy

iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee on 31 Jul 2024 04:45 collapse

Terrible execution…in your specific app which doesn’t follow Lemmy’s fomatting standard?

Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world on 31 Jul 2024 05:50 collapse

Just sharing my feedback. This bot showed up recently, and its comments are very busy in appearance and got annoying. So I blocked it and added a comment. Not sure why you’re coming at me like this

iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee on 31 Jul 2024 07:04 collapse

If you’re complaining at the fact that this bot will give feedback regarding any news article trustworthiness…I appreciate it saving me a few clicks and a search. I have my own pet peeves with its source’s own bias, but that would be a different discussion. I have no qualms with it showing on every news article giving a heads up regarding the news source being pure bullshit generally, or having any merit.

Alternatively, if your complaint is on the length of each of this bots posts, my comment is merely pointing out that you’re blaming the wrong culprit here, as this is a bug in your app of choice for Lemmy, and it renders correctly on many other apps.

WAY too long holy cow.

It’s 4 lines until you open up the spoilers, are you on an app that doesn’t do formatting properly? I know that some of them don’t do spoilers properly.

MonsterMonster@lemmy.world on 31 Jul 2024 04:23 collapse

40 lines here. Using Boost For Lemmy on Android phone. Nicely intentioned but it is somewhat intrusive in its layout.

iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee on 31 Jul 2024 04:42 next collapse

So the dev of Boost needs to properly implement spoilers. Because definitely that’s not how the text is meant to be show. 4 lines here, Jerboa for Android.

So the problem is that Boost doesn’t format text properly, on a website that is primarily text.

There’s probably a report issue or bug section of the app, please let the developer know that you would like your Lemmy app to follow Lemmy formatting

Here I was hoping it was something like “recycled plastic bottles” or “ground up old tires”.

thejml@lemm.ee on 31 Jul 2024 03:11 next collapse

Recycled shells of mollusks native to the Mediterranean Sea were used to manufacture the synthetic floor of the athletics track, as part of the Games’ commitment to sustainability.

According to Mondo, the construction of a track using biogenic calcium carbonate offsets the emissions of a Euro 4 diesel vehicle driving 60,000 kilometers.

Weird comparison to choose a car pollution limit created 2 decades ago. Let’s take a calculator. Assuming 150g per km that’s 9 tons. Let me find some numbers… using this technique it can almost offset the CO2 emitted by Elon musk’s private jet in this 2 hours flight mastodon.social/@elonjet/112860238332093251 awesome! 👍
