The other day it labelled the internet archive as biased towards centre-left. The internet archive - it's like saying a stack of blank printer paper is biased. Beyond useless.

I mean reality has a left wing bias. I'd like to see someone cute their real world experiences and get the boy to say reality is left center.

good point.

the internet: famously devoid of content.

[–] WoolyNelson 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Totally agree.

As a temporary measure, I have blocked that bot from my feed.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen 2 points 1 week ago

Same, it does wonders.

[–] mlg 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mods already said they won't remove it because they use it as a quick basis if articles get reported.

Which is kinda dumb because you could automate that client side without a community wide bot.

If they wanna have it, I'd rather have it link to a proper media aggregate site like ground news which combine both source reporting and published bias info from multiple sources:

Hi,

we have already a link to ground news, and we try to get api access to other aggregators, but all have reall high prices or just dont have the wanted data. ( We dont want to scrape it as it could get us in legal troubles )

Thanks for your suggestion.

Is that thing still around? I thought it had been removed based on the feedback

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It has been removed from some communities, but still in some.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Only one I saw removing it was news, even then it sounded more like removed until blows over

Just block it if you don’t like it?

[–] jaggedrobotpubes 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Something so universally destructive to understanding is not an opt-out feature of any competent system.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

what are you basing that critique off of?

Why did you comment? If you followed your own logic then you would have just blocked me instead.

To be serious, I think it's much better for the community if we do not allow misinformation bots to spam every post.
