Weirdly the 3DS XL for me, I think.

CosmicRaySort.

Anti-gay Japanese politicians right now:

Soooo… I don’t think this bot should be used in general, but an objective improvement would be to only have it list a source at most one time per comment.

Russia today is far-right by about every conceivable metric, so it makes sense.

Tankies don’t actually care deep down about ideas like anti-imperialism or progressivism; they want control. That, or they’re brainwashed enough to jump through layers upon layers of doublethink to reach the conclusion that an oligarchical, bigoted, and repressive oil state constantly and brutally invading its peaceful, democratic neighbors is secretly anti-imperialist and progressive but that this somehow gets tainted through the lens of muh westoid propaganda.

Ancoms fucking hate Russia. Democratic socialists fucking hate Russia. Everyone in their right mind fucking hates Russia.

I know it’s easier if you try to classify things in terms of what you already understand, but you really shouldn’t try to shoehorn the political factions of other countries into Republicans vs Democrats. It’s really just going to impair your ability to actually understand what’s going on.

100% agreed. You’re always welcome over at !vegan@lemmy.world if you’re not already there. I imagine some of the 18:1 upvoters so far statistically haven’t realized – owing to deeply rooted doublethink – that I’m also talking about something they directly pay for on a subdaily basis.

Good. Animal abuse in any form can’t be part of a decent society.

And both call a lot of things communism that aren’t actually communism.

A paragraph reads:

The significant finding may be the largest collection of human remains found in one place within Petra, according to researchers, and it was featured Wednesday on the season premiere of “Expedition Unknown.” (Discovery Channel is owned by CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.)

And then they immediately thereafter show a picture of a regular-ass clay cup with the caption:

Within the tomb beneath the Treasury, archaeologists found a ceramic vessel resembling the [literally just a fucking motif in fictional stories and not a real artifact, we conveniently forget to mention] Holy Grail. (Discovery’s Expedition Unknown)

I fucking hate corporate journalism so much.

Oh, that would actually make sense if GFM deleted the fundraiser due to backlash. I assumed that the creator deleted it.

Lmfao they deleted the fundraiser. Bunch of fucking cowards.

A Hot Topic?

Man, idk why you’re getting flak for this one.

• Certainly world@lemmy.world posts had very little overlap with the Indian elections and their voters compared to the US elections.
• I’m not sure the bot was around then.
• I think wanting to combat misinformation is a good thing; my gripe has always been that I think the bot just does a terrible job at it.

MSN is one of the biggest piece of shit middlemen I’ve seen on the Internet. Good riddance, and to be absolutely clear, I’m glad the mods are doing this.

Selection bias means that a lot of people who actively dislike the bot have it blocked.

Doesn’t mean they don’t think it’s ridiculous and misleading.

Yeah, I’ve heard too that post/user flairs don’t gel with ActivityPub for some reason. 😅

Wouldn’t the fact that the Breitbart article had – if I recall correctly – a 25:10 upvote-downvote ratio by the time it was removed suggest that the MBFC bot was functionally useless in counteracting a disinformation source? Presumably because most people simply read a headline about Zelensky that wasn’t negative, said “oh cool”, upvoted without reading the article or looking at the source, and continued scrolling? And I can hardly imagine any of the 10 downvoters actually checked the MBFC bot; instead they noticed that it was Breitbart and downvoted because of its notoriety.

Then why does it list them on the same tier for “Factual Accuracy”? It calls the ranking “Factual Accuracy”, as in literally the extent to which they get facts right. And those are “MIXED” for both sources.
