This sounds like something a robot pretending to be a human acting as a robot convincing you it’s human in an ironic, humorous way would say!

Think about it. Under each level of irony, there could always be another level of robot. (That includes me right now.)

The singularity isn’t “near” as people say, we’re already way past it. (In text-based communication anyway.)

We’ve had three pets so far, and they’ve all had real but uncommon human names.

But that’s not the main point you’re making. “YSK: upvoting content makes it more visible” wouldn’t be much of a post would it?

You’re trying by to dictate what people “should” or “shouldn’t” promote. That part isn’t objective, it’s conveying your own ideas. Which doesn’t fit the YSK community.

YSK: this community is mainly for facts or guides. What you’ve posted is an opinion.

And this doesn’t just apply to their recommended news section, this is Google in general.

Googling for technical topics without appending the name of a forum website (like stackexchange, hacker news or that other one) has been a trash experience for years. Shovelware top to bottom.

I think it has potential to get there eventually. It already follows the similar design and usage philosophies, and I imagine the development could really take off now.

Keep in mind that Apollo has years of full-time development behind it, whereas Mlem is essentially an early beta of an open-source passion project.
