Bridgy Fed, a bridge between the Fediverse and other protocols such as BlueSky, is using an opt-out model and that raises a lot of discussion
  • @Blaze What do you mean by "doesn't allow you to do so"? Instance can block bridge domain and it will not be federated

    How is it different from the rest of instances?

    @Carighan

  • BlueskyBridge: Opt-Out is a terrible default and should be reconsidered
  • @BuddyTheBeefalo I don't really get the problem tho? All Information that you post on Fediverse is already public, that's how ActivityPub works, no?

  • @zephyreks I see sources on this community getting only better and better with time.

    After the Justice and Development Party (AKP) took power, AA and the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) were both restructured to more closely reflect the administration line. According to a 2016 academic article, "these public news producers, especially during the most recent term of the AKP government, have been controlled by officials from a small network close to the party leadership.

    A Bellingcat article states that “AA as a whole can only be considered as blatant and deliberate twisting and distorting of the facts.”

    I must admit, it's even better than Al-Jazeera./s

  • Israel hits Bethlehem in Christmas raids on occupied West Bank
  • @Boff Yep, but folk on there is completly Anti-Israel so they don't really care.

    @Dreamer

  • Israel hits Bethlehem in Christmas raids on occupied West Bank
  • @Boff

    This article doesn’t specifically say anything about a Christmas day raid though.

    That's my point, also it talks about Jenin, not Bethelem like Al-Jazeera claims

    Even better then al-jazeera /j

    A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency, and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for profit or influence

    Any other outlets?

    @Dreamer

  • Israel hits Bethlehem in Christmas raids on occupied West Bank
  • @brain_in_a_box I'm sure that CCP-funded or Russia-funded media like RT are much better sources./s

    @Dreamer

  • Israel hits Bethlehem in Christmas raids on occupied West Bank
  • @Dreamer Source having high factual reports and fact checking their sources instead of just posting their agenda? https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ is usually pretty good even if it's not perfect

  • Israel hits Bethlehem in Christmas raids on occupied West Bank
  • @Dreamer Just wanted to say that zero respectable sources except al Jazeera(Qatari state-Funded media) reported on it

  • What Palestinian Children Face in Israeli Prisons
  • @snek I am sorry for the misunderstanding then, I thought it was a reply to my comment about Hamas recruitment age.

    @machinin

  • What Palestinian Children Face in Israeli Prisons
  • @snek Yes I have, however I didn't see it mention IDF recruitment age anywhere in it. And underage detainees is not something unique to Israel.

  • Chilling effect': People expressing pro-Palestinian views censured, suspended from work and school
  • @theacharnian
    There's a difference between Pro-Palestnian views and Pro-Hamas views.

    Hamas isn't even an internationally recognized government of palestine, and recognized by many countries including Canada as the terrorist organization. I still don't understand why there is some people who refer to two interchangeably.

    Many of Kbin terms dont make sense.. Why not replace them?

    I am working on Russian translation of Kbin right now and I noticeed that many of Kbin terminology just sounds.. Like a bad translation (Maybe from Polish it was originally written on?..), and I am sure many of you can agree with me So there are some of my suggestions of better names for things to make them more intuitive, espicially for new people and normies:

    Magazine - Community Link - Article Thread - Post Post(In microblog) - Blog Commented - Discussed Badges - Labels

    If you have more suggestions write them in comments, I think kbin can be confusing as it is, and the wierd language makes it even more confusing for everyone
