Why are there so many comments that start with “@five”? I feel like there’s something about how the site works that I’m misunderstanding. Isn’t the user who posted the article automatically notified when someone posts a comment?
I think that’s from mastodon users, and how mastodon works when replying. I haven’t personally used mastodon though, so someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
That’s correct. @aral@mastodon.ar.al discovered and boosted the post, and it snowballed across the Tootiverse. They’re all pinging @Five because that’s how Mastodon does post replies.
That’s annoying.
It’s somewhat annoying but also really interesting that the two interop relatively well due to their use of a common protocol (ActivityPub). I mean imagine Twitter users being able to browse and comment on Reddit posts directly on Twitter - that’s essentially what’s happening.
It’s probably not too difficult to modify Lemmy to hide mentions that are at the start of a comment, which would solve the issue.
I guess this is approaching the “find out” phase.
VW/Audi group fucked around with emission tests, and they found out.They found out what? Their business wasn’t affected at all as far as I can tell. They should have been broken up and shut down but instead they got caught doing the same thing AGAIN.
So yeah, not sure what Tesla is going to find out other than “money means you can get away with anything”, which Musk already knows well.
And just to be clear, I own a Tesla. I just got it back from the shop after ELEVEN MONTHS because those fucking tools would rather sell more cars on false promises than divert some parts to repair the cars they’ve already sold. I love that car but I’m selling it. Nobody should go anywhere near Tesla cars until they get their supply chain shit together.
“If you tell our customers we misled them, that would be bad for our business!”
