YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Their response to me would disagree, or they would have commented as much on my statement regarding Sovrn.

I'd also be real hard pressed to call them "investors". At that point anyone who has ever operated any business, has a 401k, has bought stocks, etc, is an "investor".

What's implied here is clearly the vulture capitalist firms. Best case scenario, they used bad wording.

But the complete lack of response to anything regarding the statements about Sovrn, and instead posting unrelated and irrelevant information about Snopes disclosure page updates kind of points to that not being the case.

This post is misinformation.

Edit: I'd also recommend reading their reply to me.

Its basically "well why wouldn't they do this thing I'm claiming but have no proof of?"

Thats not a "you should know", thats a "Ive got a conspiracy theory".

I'd also note that yes, someone who ran an ad company will absolutely be the right person to run something freely accessible to the public and supported by ads.

Its the internet. Most free websites are supported by ads.

Please feel free to point me to any verifiable source that supports any of the claims made in the post or single subsequent reply.
