If the distribution of those nine satellite galaxies across the entire Milky Way is similar to what was found in the footprint captured by the HSC-SSP, the research team calculates that there actually may be closer to 500 satellite galaxies

WTF? I was thinking there were around a dozen or so.

Ethan Seigel never does "clickbait’ articles. He does 100% educational articles. I actually didn’t know more than half of these things. Who the hell knew that Earth does not have the most water in the solar system?

Personal finance: !personalfinance@lemmy.ml

This is a big one for me.

Thanks for calling this out. I will stop posting content to lemmy.ml. What is the next best alternative to lemmy.world? I have nothing against lemmy.world, but would like to spread out content to different sites.

I too have recently been perma-banned from reddit for nonsense.

I call then rando-bans. e.g. You were banned for violating unwritten rules, poorly interpreted rules, rules made up on the spot, or because the mod is having a bad day. Basically stuff where a warning would have easily sufficed.

And Squabbler.co

because dissenting opinions get straight up deleted.

You should call mods out when that happens as a public service. If I learn this happens a lot on certain subs I will stop using them even if it didn’t happen to me.

/r/mildyinteresting has 286k subscribers.

The real number of active users on average reddit subs is probably far less than 50% of reported numbers. I can imagine that every year the percentage of real vs reported subscriptions falls another 10% or so, as accounts are abandoned and rando-banned etc.

What sort of “controversial” comment?

Looks like it was really just another rando-ban. A mod having a bad day.

Usenet

so there’s no simple way to block huge swaths of content you’re not interested in — like sports, or politics.

The simple way is to show only the groups you have subscribed to.

But yes I do like Usenet’s organizational hierarchy.

. Earlier this month the humorless admins of /r/teslamotors banned me for posting a video of my custom charge port cover.

This was one of reddit mod’s famous rando-bans. Something you could have never foreseen and a warning would have solved.

3rd time will be an admin permaban. This is part of the enshitification that mismanagement paid for.

When you click on “list of communites”. An option to default to “subscribed”. I never just want to see “local”.
