I think affiliate links should be banned or restricted from this instance
  • While we're at it, can we ban amp links and other url tracking in general?

    No punishment for doing it, but maybe have a bot to remind people.

    To clarify, I'm not engaging in whataboutism, I think both of them should be banned (though maybe sometimes affiliate links have their place).

    What are your experiences with trying to get help through Science Advising/using the Academic Calendar to get answers? Personally I've never used Science Advising and found all of my info through the Academic Calendar. Inspired by the linked reddit post.

    [New Rule discussion] No Editorializing Article Titles. The original title of the article must be used.
  • I don't mean to be nitpicking but if the rule is zero-tolerance I think we should clear up the edge cases. I hope you don't take this the wrong way.

    • What happens when the original title is misleading or clickbait? Personally I like how HN handles things in this case (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).
    • How about if you want to ask a question about a news article as the main focus of the post, but also want to include context about the article?
    • Or if you're making the post to discuss a related topic, and include multiple articles?
    • On that note, what even counts as a news article? What if I post a link to a reddit thread about a news article?

    Will not repeat the body text. I'll crosspost questions here that I answer or might be answerable by lemmy's population (mostly CS program questions).

    Title. With the ubc subreddit opening back up again it'll probably be much harder to enough of a network effect going unless we have some coordination with the reddit mods.

    Personally I'm trying to transition away from user-hostile software and minimize my exposure to proprietary software in general. The reddit API changes didn't affect me personally but I don't want to support the company by continuing to use it. How about you guys?
