Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's 4 lines until you open up the spoilers, are you on an app that doesn't do formatting properly? I know that some of them don't do spoilers properly.

40 lines here. Using Boost For Lemmy on Android phone. Nicely intentioned but it is somewhat intrusive in its layout.

So the dev of Boost needs to properly implement spoilers. Because definitely that's not how the text is meant to be show. 4 lines here, Jerboa for Android.

So the problem is that Boost doesn't format text properly, on a website that is primarily text.

There's probably a report issue or bug section of the app, please let the developer know that you would like your Lemmy app to follow Lemmy formatting

Blocked. Great idea, terrible execution

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's whatever app you're using that's the problem. It looks fine on a browser.

[–] Nurse_Robot 3 points 4 months ago

Meh, I'm not the only one who's noticed and commented. It's formatted in a way that's very busy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Terrible execution...in your specific app which doesn't follow Lemmy's fomatting standard?

[–] Nurse_Robot 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just sharing my feedback. This bot showed up recently, and its comments are very busy in appearance and got annoying. So I blocked it and added a comment. Not sure why you're coming at me like this

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

If you're complaining at the fact that this bot will give feedback regarding any news article trustworthiness...I appreciate it saving me a few clicks and a search. I have my own pet peeves with its source's own bias, but that would be a different discussion. I have no qualms with it showing on every news article giving a heads up regarding the news source being pure bullshit generally, or having any merit.

Alternatively, if your complaint is on the length of each of this bots posts, my comment is merely pointing out that you're blaming the wrong culprit here, as this is a bug in your app of choice for Lemmy, and it renders correctly on many other apps.
