This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

They took out the "report spam" button. Presumably that's because Google's whole business model in 2024 is delivering spam in all its various forms.

What was even the purpose of that button? Surely if you get spam, you don't report that to the spammer, you use the mechanism provided by your email service.

It was to report a bug in their email system involving unwanted emails (for instance if they continued sending you email after you unsubscribed from it).

Yep, I noticed that as well. Google has diversified to another industry though recently: AI spam.
