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.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

The guy that thought union-busting was the key to improving education and campaigned hard to keep Covid vaccines under patent?
Yeah, man, keep licking those billionaire boots.
If by campaigned hard you mean backpedaled immediately then yes, that's the guy. His foundation also paid billions to distribute the vaccine at no cost.
he backpedaled precisely because it backfired on him spectacularly. Stop jumping through the hoops to clean his spoilt image.
I think in this day and age we can stop pretending public relations actually mean anything for the 12 digit club.
Elon Musk literally exposed everyone's grandma's social security, waved a nazi salute, and turned Twitter into a CSAM generator.
They backpedaled because backpedaling was the right thing to do, not because of any fake consequences you're imagining.
I wonder why your mindset is like this.
At the 12 digit club it's ALL about image. Why else would Bill Gates try to do stuff with his foundation? Why would Jeff Bezos try to fly to space with fuck you money? Why would Elon Musk enter a slap fight in twitter and end up buying the damn company?
No they backpedalled because they care about their image. For them, any consequence is far preferrable to tarnishing their image or becoming irrelevant.
Egos control people who have such wealth.
And they wouldn't do the right thing if it meant they have to admit they are wrong.
People here are looking for someone to hate right now and your getting down voted for submitting facts. There's always a lot of bandwagoning on this site.
There's no certification when it comes to bad and good. Sometimes evil assholes can do good things and vice versa.
Life exists mostly in the grey area. The court of the Internet is black and white and arguments here forget that. Unless you're Trump, Musk, or Bezos them fuckers are straight up evil.
Thank you.
