That just a function of it being a long-term and established community. And likely a bit of agreement with your broad cultural and political views. Right now Reddit is more likely to have information on a random video game than Lemmy, but that doesn't mean their structure is inherently good for producing information.
A federated system where you federate with everyone without limit is a good way to get a lot of bad shit, but that's not how the Fediverse actually works. Instances defederate from other instances that are dragging down the quality of their social network. Most importantly, if your admins go bad and decide they want to not pursue truth but instead craft a narrative, you can move instances to one that has the standards you want while only losing the content that was actually on the now-bad instance.
Read on to literally the next paragraph, which says Diaspora is the only still developed platform that matches the original definition and does not use ActivityPub, or to the section that explicitly calls ATProto a Fediverse alternative.
The first paragraph is descriptive of the Fediverse, not a test for whether something is part of it. The Internet is a collection of computers communicating via TCP/IP. That doesn't mean any two computers communicating over TCP/IP are now part of the Internet.
That's present in any user editable platform. Wikipedia's consensus doesn't mean it's actually representing broad universal truth. That why everything gets cited and the talk and history pages are public to the readers, so they can judge the reliability themselves. If you stumble on a less visited page, that consensus group gets smaller and smaller and the likelihood of it being essentially a pretty fiefdom increases.
Even printed encyclopedias had no such claim. If someone is putting out a instance that's too highly biased to be useful, defederate.
He at least managed to not vote for a Republican nominee for once. Maybe some small part of his pre-stroke brain is able to recognize at least one Republican he thinks is not fit for greater power. All it took was the Republican being the actual guy he built his career through opposing.
therefore I’ve always taken anyone who says,“I’m not antisemetic, I just think Israel shouldn’t exist (IE, anti-zionist)” is a closet antisemite at best.
There are whole sects of Judaism that are anti-Zionist. Zionism/Israel are not synonymous with Judaism or Jewishness in any way and there are both secular and religious anti-Zionist Jewish organizations.
People who are anti-zionist seem to only have a selective and limited knowledge of a few thousand years of the history of the area.
Yes, tell us more about people with a selective and limited knowledge of the history or the area.
That's making a lot of assumptions about someone solely citing Israeli papers and not claiming to have any direct sources in Gaza. What makes you think this particular woman has in any way corroborated them? She's not saying she has an anonymous source and putting her reputation on the line, she's openly citing other journalists.
Is she in some way a particularly reputable journalist who would be inherently careful about Israeli propaganda or having some inherent objectivity? All I see from her regarding Gaza is things boosting the Israeli government's narrative, including a "one year later" piece criticizing anti-Israeli currents in the left, talking about how she went to that music festival years earlier, and called herself as a Zionist.
Frederica Matteoni (writing in German for Berliner Zeitung) probably has checked her sources.
Second paragraph in the piece:
"Oday Nasser Al Rabay's body was dumped outside his family's home over the weekend, report Times of Israel and other Israeli media, citing statements from relatives."
The problem with admonishments from groups like this is that they've so covered themselves with shit trying to maximize profits their words don't mean much when they actually have something meaningful to say.
Yeah, the whole thing is a just an embarrassing demonstration of how it's just a big social club rather than a relationship where they should be naturally antagonistic.
Plenty of other journalists posting anti Trump content without problem. If you're too scared to use words to mildly criticize power, you shouldn't be a journalist in the first place. They didn't become cowards due to Trump's new hyper fascism, they've been like that the whole time.
Trump nominee + Bush senior nominee. Couldn't find it in this article.
News organizations and the judiciary might want to pretend who appointed a judge is unimportant to understanding a news story because they all strive to do good objective law, but that's a fantasy.
Looks like they updated the title: "Vance accuses Denmark of not keeping Greenland safe from Russia, China"
But really, journalists don't need to pretend any of this is legitimate. Add a "dubiously" in there. This is obviously not a sincere complaint. Stop assuming good faith just because he's got an official title.
A pardon is just words in the same way a law is. Someone has to implement them, and in this case it would require state officials to act rather than people who can be fired if they don't do it.
This is insane and stupid and tells me there's no one involved in the process that has ever managed a software project before, which makes it doubly insane and stupid.
Of course a fresh out of college hotshot thinks they can complete a major coding project in 3 months. That's why no one takes their estimates seriously, not announces them to the world.
Man, my broad social-studies type learning cut off around World War II out of fear of touching anything politically controversial and this guy is out here just regurgitating propaganda to justify the American gestapo currently kidnapping dissidents.
