That still doesn’t help, dude its annoying af and what the original commenter said is right. No actual bot will give a shit if you add a link pretending your comment has any weight.
Your link had nothing to do with ProPublica, and you’re right. Thank you, you add nothing to the discussion usually anyway, except the horrendous long and customized blue link. Thank you for the simple solution.

Yes, it’s the new “I do not consent to Facebook using my data”.
Dear astroturfers, are we going to do this each and every day?
It’s already been talked to death.

“Someone else did it so it must work”
lol
Well, if its ok/works for ProPublica, then that’s enough for me. 🤷

That’s a big “if” on if it works. So wouldn’t go around saying it works. Just that someone else is doing it too.
Oh I’m using English properly, in the way I phrased it.
And if they, and their lawyers, believe it works, that’s good enough for me.

Did their lawyers really advice them to put it there believing it works?
I wasn’t in the room with them, but IMO it would be malpractice of the lawyers if they didn’t, so I’m going to assume yes, they did.
It definitely empowers them to go after anyone who uses their content outside of the license.
And it doesn’t hurt to have it there. There’s nothing wrong with protecting your rights, ever.
Finally, let’s not derail the OP post any more than already has been done. If you wish to continue the discussion, it should be done over here…

But you know they advised it?
Yes, every single person on Lemmy has read that post.
Good. Then it doesn’t need to be discussed anymore elsewhere.

Yeah, I’ve blown pass accepting sarcasm, and gone straight to not taking other people’s crap anymore.
