I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

There are a few
I’ve been playing with LemmySchedule to schedule out posts ahead of time. This can be good if you want to sit down once and queue a number of posts to go out over the course of a few hours, or if you want to make recurring discussion threads (which work great for building up a community slowly). For example, I’m testing it out with another account here: @otters_raft@lemmy.ca
There is also @bot@rss.ponder.cat, which you can set up to post from RSS feeds. This sounds closest to what you want to do from the other thread. The instructions are here: https://rss.ponder.cat/post/34622. For example, I have it set up to post from a youtube channel in !marinemammalrescue@lemmy.ca
There may be others out there :)
Some apps have previews of the article when you open the comments, which might encourage people to read a bit more of the source content

If someone wants to read an interesting (but complex) explanation of how it works
Welcome :)
This link should also have the same list
If you make or find a new community that belongs there, just leave a comment and we’ll add it
the link might be broken in the post, but I think it was this article

The second link has some history on where this idea came from
We went with “forum style” fediverse platform
Users are concerned that this moderation tactic could be abused or just improperly implemented.
This is the key bit. It’s good to try and make safer online spaces. But Reddit’s automated moderation has been bad for a while, and this might get more users caught up in false positives
I’ve seen comments tagged as abusive regardless of the context:
For well moderated subs, the vast majority of those reports became false positives over time. For the mod queue, this didn’t affect the end user since mods can dismiss the false positives. But automated ‘scores’ won’t account for that.
We’re going to see even more annoying algospeak like “unalive”, only it’s going to be in news quotes as well
I think it’s a joke about dead internet theory, rather than userbase size
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory
The joke comes from an increase in bot use on Reddit, and the subsequent false positive / false negatives in trying to figure out which ones are bots
Lemmy has that problem too, but it’s much smaller in scope. Mostly because there’s less of a reason to try and control the narrative on this smaller platform, but also because the goals are different. Lemmy instances get no benefit from a bunch of fake engagement, and public upvotes makes it easier to catch manipulation
Is there an ending cutoff for the songs? Or is any song after January 1st, 2024 acceptable?
