Some “science communication” websites have really low standards when it comes to their articles. I’m thinking of rags like IFLScience, Phys.org, etc. It’s not that you can’t find factual articles there, it’s just that you can always find better reporting elsewhere.
So I ask: is banning those links something desirable by this community? Can it be enforced without undue burden on the mods?
How should we deal with those?
Edit: thank you @[email protected] for promptly showing me banning wouldn’t be very productive.
Right. Banning would prevent people from being aware of the problem and would just cause frustration.
I have zero knowledge about Lemmy bots, the only ones I’ve seen are importing posts from other sites. Is there a project for an auto mod kind of Lemmy bot out there?
