About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

Some "science communication" websites have really low standards when it comes to their articles. I'm thinking of rags like IFLScience, Phys.org, etc. It's not that you can't find factual articles there, it's just that you can always find better reporting elsewhere.

~~So I ask: is banning those links something desirable by this community? Can it be enforced without undue burden on the mods?~~

How should we deal with those?

Edit: thank you @Lembot_0004@discuss.online for promptly showing me banning wouldn't be very productive.

Banning is always the least desirable approach. Maybe some bot that will automatically answer to the messages with such links with an explanation about the quality of those sources?

Right. Banning would prevent people from being aware of the problem and would just cause frustration.

I have zero knowledge about Lemmy bots, the only ones I've seen are importing posts from other sites. Is there a project for an auto mod kind of Lemmy bot out there?
