But literally all it did was create yet another place, and now they're just another musk circlejerk sub creating more musk threads, completely defeating the purpose.

Always thought it was pretty silly that a good portion of the musk spam on reddit was from a sub called "enough musk spam", and now it's here too. Name seems kind of backwards doesn't it?

How in the world could this be advertising. Please keep the hail corporate circlejerking on reddit, not every single thing that mentions a company is advertising.

This message is brought to you by McDonalds™, I'm lovin' it!

Unless you don't vote on much, I think you underestimate how much information can be attained from the pure data of up/down votes.

There is also the fact that people traditionally vote on stuff they wouldn't comment on because they see it as more private.

There was never a right place, we were just a target for their anger.

So we just shouldn't have high speed sattelite internet for people in rural areas or disaster areas because some people make money from it?

Or they should only be there if a government runs the sattelite? Because that wouldn't change the effect they have on telescopes.

This is the kind of comment I was talking about.

I guessing it's Amazon's old android app store? I remember lots of users having a lot of hope for that app store bringing competition and higher quality app and app store quality. Oh how naive we were.

This has been a fairly open secret, or at least it has been in my family. My father traveled a lot and we would always throw those on the floor immediately. I assume nowadays many of the bigger chains do clean them but I still wouldn't trust smaller places and even smaller chain-owned hotels.

That's what scientists have wanted anyway, even without the occasional satellite there is a lot of interference. I wouldn't be surprised if they leveraged this to try to get more funding for more of them they wouldn't get otherwise.

I do wonder how much the average people commenting would care if musk had nothing to do with this.

It's an issue, but it's an issue scientists knew was coming for decades now. Starlink isn't the only company putting satellites into low earth orbit. They aren't the first and the amount of them will just keep coming.

What we need is regulations and requirements for how many, what purpose, how they'll be dealt with if something goes wrong and when they're no longer needed, etc. Getting people to share satellites that are already there (when possible) and not putting up satellites that are redundant or don't provide that much benefit versus non-satellite options or further orbit options will be important.

But all these mindless circlejerkers only talking about musk and wanting starlink "taken down" are really polluting the topic with meaningless bullshit. It's unfortunate people are bringing these mindless circlejerks over from reddit.

I really hope they add this feature. I'd love to block all of lemmygrad.ml so I can stop seeing russian/Chinese propaganda and pro-genocide bullshit any time I scroll for too long.

I swear it did for like a day, I could have sworn I saw a post about that update. Maybe it was a different app 🤷

That's how I'd like it to work too, it makes sense.
