  • Currently the code is for now private. We will see if we can make it public in the future. The mods wont moderate posts because of the MBFC result.

  • But then the issue arises what the people complain, the human bias.

    Because the user x from instance b accuses the user y from instance a be a bigot because they added SomeRandomNewsPage as biased into there. And it repeats and repeats.

    So we chose to use the available option to use MBFC and ground.news for 2 seperate options.

    We all know the downside of a human maintained list / service (like MBFC) because you can not remove the human part.

  • Ok then tell me an alternative we can use in the scale for free.

    None? Then pls dont just complain complain complain... And dont suggest improvements.

  • Garfield Comics are something different :D

  • Its better to have some "fact checking" than the "trust me bro" system.

    We all know all "fact checking" systems have humans behind it, those humans can have biases, dislikes or do mistakes. But thats the reason why we should not have such system is not good. Its the viewers discretion to believe into the fact/bias checks of the given page. We are just giving our best effort to simplify the view.

    Then i give you the recommendation to block the bot, if you dont like it.

  • Yeah that is sadly bad implemented on the apps.

    We put the "footer" that could go into a spoiler into a spoiler.

  • It will be a little bit difficult to automate fetching that list.

  • Its a human. Like every page.

  • It triggers on posts, not on comments.

  • Have you ever investigated every news page for its bias? With no pay? I guess not. In the end there is a human doing that manually.

    Because of that we added the ground.news search url, so that if you didnt believed it you can get other news pages thoughts on this article.

  • Yes, that everyone make a better picture. Instead of getting shouted at by one manipulative entity.

  • It would be feasable to get it for an alternative to MBFC, but so far i can find out, it isnt free.

    If there is a public API that you found please let me know we will investigate on integrating it.

  • Hi

  • Yep, thats how it works :D

    But just that you know the integration between lemmy <=> mastodon ( or any microblogging sites ) is not very great.

  • Hi

  • Yes recieved

  • LoL...

    Everyone who saves their confidential and IMPORTANT password in ONLY chrome password manager, then they are prepared to loose them. At least make backups from them.

  • I hope they understand soon why we have ALL of those tweaks and adblockers. Because vanilla youtube SUCKS, Ads everywhere, not customizable and tracking even if you are paying.

  • Thanks for sharing the solution!

  • Linux Mint is just great :)
