Yeah, if it’s a link to a news story or website, I agree, it should just be a direct link. I’m mostly thinking about content created by Reddit users and posted up there themselves.

I love that it made President xi as Winnie the poo!

There may or may not have been some editorialising of the prompt on my part…

I didn’t even think of the privacy aspect. Of course they put their tracking pixels there, ffs. I bet Reddit does too.

I think for TV, the broadcaster is responsible for setting the content rating. And they’re answerable to the BSA if they get it wrong, which is what this is about. But don’t quote me on that.

What do you put in as your prompts? I’ve been playing around with Stable Diffusion online, and everything comes out all kinds of fucked up, like the ones I recently put up -

and

I find Stable Diffusion is the only one that will make images of famous people

Personally, I think it’s fine for people to cross-post stuff they think is relevant to the communities here. I’d prefer it over links to Reddit, because it lets people engage with the content here. I doubt posts in [email protected] will get nearly as much attention as the ones on lemmy.nz. The Lemmit bot makes it pretty obvious that it’s taken from Reddit. I think one guideline would be not to remove the bot’s text from the post, nor the “cross-posted from” text that’s generated when it’s cross-posted here.

As for question posts, it would be a weird thing to cross-post. I guess if someone wanted to give credit to the OP on Reddit. I can’t see that happening too often, unless it’s a pretty broad question that generates discussion - in which case, it doesn’t seem to matter to me if there’s a separate discussion going on here.

This is @Dave’s comment from the daily kōrero:

Do we need guidelines about using it? Like sure you can subscribe, but what about cross posting to !newzealand?

Cross posts ok? Guidelines on not cross posting questions just links (articles etc) because the questions don’t come with the answers? Any thoughts?

I’ve put up a post about it because I think all the Reddit refugees will be keen, at least in the short term. I think we should have this discussion there so everyone can have their input. It will get lost here.

We actually used to have little “mod” and “admin” things before this, but they were much more subtle. You can see my mod one in the comments here on the Web Archive.

I’m one of the mods there haha

Oh, nice. Just requested it and their bot made the community almost instantly. Might put up a post about it here.

Well, would you look at that?

I just went back to the community that wasn’t showing the subscribe button for me and it’s back there now too.

Yeah good point. For those who don’t feel like clicking through them all, and because I already have Notepad++ open, here they are:

Is that supposed to be John Key? This one gives me Piers Morgan vibes, with a sprinkle of Mike Hosking. While this one reminds me of some other NZ politician, but I can’t put my finger on who.

FYI: You can embed images in posts/comments by wrapping the URLs like this:

![](https://files.catbox.moe/ejnvze.jpg)

which will do this:

You can also make that a link to the full size image like this:

Edit: That all applies to images hosted elsewhere. You can also tap the little image icon amongst the formatting icons which will upload the image here and format the embed code for you.

I carry one of those little Vick’s inhalers with me everywhere I go. It’s often the only thing that will get me breathing again.

Aside from all the obvious uses for wool, I love the wool-based masks Lanaco makes. If you need or want a P2/N95 mask for whatever reason I would highly recommend their Waire masks. Nothing comes close in terms of breathability. I’ve had a good experience with everything I’ve got from Lanaco.

We absolutely need to stop putting it into the air as soon as possible. If these kinds of technologies delay transitions then they’re counterproductive. I’m inclined to think that reducing atmospheric CO₂ at every possible opportunity is important at the moment.

Even if the world becomes carbon neutral, we’ll need to remove the excess CO₂ from the atmosphere if we want the heating to stop. This is one of the most practical systems for doing that that I’ve seen so far. We’ll need it to happen on a much larger scale, but it’s important to be researching it now.

The dissolved CO₂ reacts with reactive rocks, like basalt, forming solid, stable carbonate minerals. It’s essentially permanent on a human timescale. But you’re asking the right questions.

The scientists link to this page, which explains it in more detail.

Absolutely. Your comment made me realise I’d forgotten to post this up.
