Why does the "Media Bias Fact Checker" - Bot gets downvoted so much lately?
  • You’ve gone right into exaggerated rhetoric meant to paint me as someone from the far left.

    Your response tell me everything I need to know, that you're the average far left Lemming that sees everyone you disagree with as a far right incel.

    Why does the "Media Bias Fact Checker" - Bot gets downvoted so much lately?
  • You can check the categories on the MBFC website yourself but a couple choice picks in the “right center” category are the Ayn Rand Institute, advocates for self governance, and American Action Network.

    The first two are libertarian and pro Anarcho Capitalism. The second one attempts to masquerade as a non political education tool about politics. And third is a partisan group that runs campaign ads for the GOP.

    Meanwhile in left center we have NYT, WAPO, and BBC.

    Looking through all the sources you mentioned, especially the center-right sources, the ratings tend to be accurate. Did you expect the center right sources to be rated as far right and the center left sources to be rated as right wing?

  • Because it’s biased itself. They whitewash far right conservative sources while listing anything that tries to remain neutral and fact based as having a left bias. Left center to be exact. Then they put far right stuff in “right center” to make you think it’s equivalent.

    Source?

    Top 50 defederated instances
  • Where/how is this obtained?

    I’m curious about seeing an entire list of defederated instances.

    fba.ryona.agency

    Be aware that it doesn't track when lemmy instances defederate from other fediverse instances correctly and hasn't for months, and that it's run someone from one of those 50 defederated instances.

    Why? Are we not doing enough?
  • Maybe it’s because nobody is interested in a platform that has a worse circlejerk than even Reddit of all sites?

    I want Lemmy to succeed but we need to attract more normies and at the right time when Reddit does something stupid again.

    Zoomer anon has brainrot
  • Hey. This is what you're doing to our front page.

    Are you sorting by new? Not the same front page I'm getting, even on Lemmy World.

    You only need to post something once. They're all similar communities so chances are, if someone subscribed to one of those communities, they're subscribed to them all.

    Possibly, but some lemmy communities do defederate from others. For example, a lemmy.basedcount.com user would be able to see the !greentext@sh.itjust.works post, but not the !greentext@lemmy.ml post because lemmy.ml defederated from lemmy.basedcount.com.
