  • Illegal land grab in Bosnia-Herzegovina? - Chinese company built wind farm on private property without the owner's consent

  • Okay, well Barack Obama stole my private jet (I have no proof of owning the jet).

    Maybe dw.com can turn it into a 700-word story called "Is Obama Stealing Airplanes?"

  • They didn’t even show that this guy owns (or owned) the land…

    (They even say he has no deed or proof.)

    This is lazy clickbait journalism.

  • Answer (to the clickbait title): No.

    Reason (from the article): The wind-farm land-rights were purchased by a chinese company for millions, directly from a Bosnian politician (and the bosnian politician had secured the land-rights from “local authorities”).

    It says that right in the “article”.

    …It’s a pretty lame “article”…

    …clickbait title, zero evidence to support the claim, written in the style of a first-draft.

    • Which statement are you calling “bullshit”?
    • You wouldn’t recommend what?

  • Haiku-bot 1.0 out now!

    Jump

  • “OP made it opt-in”

    1 - It’s not opt-in "By User" though. It’s opt-in "By Community"...

    So if one person turns it on, 1000’s of other people see it.

    OP keeps saying “you can just toggle it off”... but I really can’t... when anyone can toggle it back on.

    2 - Future options for toggling are not much better (bottom of the repo, To-Do section):

    • "if a moderator adds the haiku-bot, non-mod users cannot remove it"
    • “only allow moderators to subscribe/unsubscribe”

    ...so the toggle option wouldn’t apply to 99% of people anyway.

    “a few users were waiting for this (-OP)”

    Who was waiting for it? The top level replies in this thread are:

    • you, who wouldn’t use it
    • me, who doesn’t want it
    • Otome, who doesn’t like it

    I think your bot rules are pretty solid though.

    Overall, I just feel like... Lemmy is a fresh space...

    a chance to make a new culture...

    maybe it's best to leave that old bloated carcass behind.

  • 1 - Yes - some bots are helpful, some (most) are annoying:

    • a Haiku bot falls into your "triggered by accident" category (any post that is 17 syllables).
    • a Haiku bot also does not add any new contextual information (it just duplicates a comment).

    That's why I'm saying the haiku bot is junk.

    2 - In this very post, when Otome said "I never liked the Haiku Bot"... OP responded "I’ve never liked them much either"...

    so I'm asking OP: "why create a bot to spam lemmy with low-value duplicate content, if you don't even like that bot yourself?"

  • I'm asking you - what value do YOU think this Haiku bot adds?

  • You did not answer the question... I asked you:

    How is a haiku bot not invasive spam?

    It's basically the same as the "all numbers in your post add up to 69" bot.

  • Okay - What value does a haiku bot add?

    It only tells you that a post was 17 syllables...

    • and then duplicates a comment (spam),
    • and then stretches the duplicated comment vertically (spam).

  • If you agree that most bots are spam, then why are you making and promoting bots?

  • Here’s a human haiku:

     
        
bots are part of what
made reddit such a wasteland.
most bots are just spam.

i wish lemmy would
remain a place for humans.
why can’t we just talk?
