  • Sry this is a app issue. For now block it until the app developer syncs up the markdown to match lemmys

  • Everything that can be hid behind a spoiler is already in there. The rest is partially because of an agreement with MBFC.

  • Thanks! Your points are perfectly on target.

    If we had any other api with parity of media bias / fact check, then we would have included it, but we only see paid, no api available.

    But for now we have added a ground.news search link so that everyone can see a third opinion on it.

  • Hi,

    we now transfered the community to you.

    Thanks for your patience.

  • If you have a better format we will gladly accept it. But for every other non App UI it works perfectly as the spoiler hides everything away into few lines.

  • I will ask the lemmy sync to implement the spoilers.

  • This is sadly some issue where Apps dont have Markdown feature sync with the Website.

    We will think about reformatting it. But for now you can block the bot if it is disturbing your view.
    Thanks.

  • You got it. Thats the point. Its just advisory, not if its Bad creditability you will get banned.

  • 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.

  • 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.
