Maybe I’ll start reading them now. I support journalism, but that’s not what they do

Riiiiiight I thought you meant in terms of politics and my response about the Greens was being sarcastic. Though the Greens and LNP get dragged into culture wars alot easier than Labor

But uhh…I’m not really sure how this is relevant to this thread.

Idk I was interpreting their comment as saying that Labor aren’t very popular which is true at least in terms of first preferences

Yeah I don’t think people will want to skip the Olympics—I’ll probably just watch highlights and the Equestrian Eventing (No Andrew Hoy this year unfortunately), it will all be on at a really early time anyway

Guess I won’t change what I’m doing then. Do they deserve more money for writing absolute drivel and propaganda? Given how much their company makes from it maybe

Yeah I meant to include a “/s” because I’d probably associate Greens, Labor and around the “Malcolm Turbull” part of the Liberals with the Democrats, and the Nationals, One Nation, UAP and the rest of the Liberals with the Republicans

Seriously though, there is a multitude of other reasons why people might be calling centrelink

No, @[email protected] did some analysis a while ago and found that Labor were overrepresented in parliament based on first preferences nationally, ignoring the electoral boundaries. The Greens, One Nation and various independents would have more representation in parliament if we didn’t use localities to determine the makeup of parliament

Yeah I was thinking that too. Really good fog, couldn’t see much of the city driving in, disappointed when I discovered that it was still there.

Holy shit, this is our Taylor Swift/Superbowl thing. Something will happen and she will endorse Anthony Albanese for another term in government

Given that they’re taking the view from everyone I don’t think that should be a cheap way to live

🤦‍♂️

Yeah it’s good for working out why pages aren’t being indexed. I’m not aware of anything similar for bing search

We have two republican parties

LNP and the Greens?

Yeah they might have to change how Lemmy handles posts like that which might break stuff. Search engines would also have to work out that Lemmy is not a single site but a collection and since the site name does not mention Lemmy it might be more difficult

I sometimes watch friendlyjordies but I have to take a break because it makes me feel really hopeless about society

I wonder if claiming ownership in Google Search Console would help? It would probably flow onto other search engines.

Though we might get ranked down for effectively duplicating a larger more commonly accessed site (Lemmy.world) even if the content belongs here. This could be a thing for the Lemmy developers to look into, i.e. generating a robots.txt which blocks all federated communities

Melbourne don’t have any emojis going on

Yes and we’ve probably got it worse because we also have 7 and 9 which are Coalition propaganda as well. The ABC is somewhat neutral, and 10 seem to be Liberal-leaning. No left-wing/Labor biased media to balance the rest and people’s trust in the impartiality of “the news” will only lead us further down this route
