I hope this doesn’t come across as too “opportunist,” but I would really enjoy providing help with active fact-checking. Feel free to DM if you start looking for people to actively fill such a role.
Add it to your homepage as a shortcut, and it’ll behave as its own app (kinda). Glad it’ll work well for you!
I agree here. First, the idea of being cognizant of your biases can allow a potentially more unbiased opinion. For example, when consuming news media, one can recognize their preferred outcome, and perhaps spend some time getting “the other side of the story.” I’ve found doing so actually helps clarify certain issues or events, as the common thread between the two stories tends to be where the truth lies.
But there’s also the inherent desire for us to advance or evolve as humans. Bias isn’t necessarily “bad,” since that seems to indicate we’ve settled on something we think provides a net positive to ourselves or the species. It turns bad when we’re not willing to acknowledge the possibility there’s a better way.
So, I guess to sum it up, out the gate, I don’t think one can be truly unbiased, but I think one can learn the ability to make decisions with equal preference for both decisions. To live in a world of only bias is, imo, akin to evolutionary stagnation.
Check out wefwef. It feels eerily similar to Apollo, albeit still a little buggy. It’s a web app.
Welcome, Apollo friend! This community is young, but just as accepting. I hope you quickly feel as much a part of it as you did with Reddit. Thanks for posting and driving more active engagement. It goes a long way. :)
Rumor is that Twitter didn’t want to renew its Google Storage contract, but the migration to the new system is taking longer than expected. Now that it’s July 1, everything’s going to shit.
Again, that’s the rumor.
Who the FUCK is spez? Sounds like the name of some mentally deranged, wholly incompetent groomer. The only name I can think of that’s stupider is, idk, something like “Steve Huffman.”
oh, absolutely. I’m keeping the app installed in hopes that it makes a rebased comeback.
No worries brosef. You’re early-adopting yet again. Give it time, and you’ll be one of the legacy guys once again.

I deleted my original Reddit username a long time ago and always regretted it. DriftingDeep is back, baby!
He addressed that a bit ago. That kind of undertaking would be pretty big, since the data structure on the back end is so much different. It’s not out of the question, but not something he wants to do right now.
