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.
Totally agree.
As a temporary measure, I have blocked that bot from my feed.
Same, it does wonders.
Is that thing still around? I thought it had been removed based on the feedback
It has been removed from some communities, but still in some.
Only one I saw removing it was news, even then it sounded more like removed until blows over
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:
What bot?
Just block it if you don’t like it?
Something so universally destructive to understanding is not an opt-out feature of any competent system.
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.
evidence?
