I thought this was gonna be about Wikipedia finally shutting down because nobody donates
They are actually getting too many donations, many times more than they need to run wikipedia. There was and is a big conflict about the unsustainable growth of donations to the foundation and its questionable use of those funds.
Huh, now that is a truly interesting bit of information.
An interesting bit of information without any sources at all...
As is good and proper on Lemmy
Providing sources is probably a lot more common on Lemmy than anywhere else
idk man, i'd probably bet money on scientific papers,
Lol obviously I meant places where random users post content
i mean, technically the authors posting papers are going to be pretty randomly sampled.
Woosh
im just continuing the joke where it left off
Not sure what joke that is, but Lemmy is a lot better to provide sources than users of sites like Facebook or reddit. That was my point.
i believe the joke was that we're on lemmy, which is pretty shit, compared to most academic settings, better than facebook argubaly, but that's a low bar.
Something tells me you're often disappointed
generally yes, i find most people and things to be rather boring and uninteresting.
reddit was exceptionally boring. Lemmy is a decent bit better.
