cm0002@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Now mind you, this is a guy who was previously **ok** supporting the mission of ICE.English25·1 day agoProbably what all “good cops” think, “I can change the system from within” or “It’s just a couple outlier bad cases, but I’ll make sure to only prosecute actual bad people”

I’ve also thought about forking it and re-writing it in something I actually know like C#, but I’ve only ever rewritten something from another language I didn’t know (C++) a few times and they were MUCH smaller projects than something like Lemmy so it’d be a massive undertaking for me alone LMAO

I’m unfortunately stuck here until Boost implements PieFed support

It’s the artist’s thing, they also made the crying guy in shallow water meme
Drumpy has been promoting their brand new “rapidly assembled” ICE “detention facility” (read: concentration camp) that they (themselves) nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz” in the middle of the Florida Everglades (middle-of-no-where swamp land)
I hope all their kids/grandkids see this and never talk to them again, at the minimum
You don’t need to “jack rabbit” out, but you shouldn’t be moving like a sloth either, every second of delay delays all other cars behind you and reduces overall traffic flow

We can fix a lot of things ourselves or just with time like, lack of content, engagement etc. but without a hard-line against the tankies like wide defederation of .ml (or at least just the big ones like .ml) fixing the outside reputation is going to be a tall order. Even with PieFed

People that see the world in black and white are dangerous. The bad, moms basement kind of dangerous.
Yup, that’s tankies for ya
cm0002@lemmy.worldOPto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•.ml world "news" continuing to be an excellent source of journalism and definitely NOT contributing to the spread of Putin talking points!/sEnglish0·8 days agoUnfortunately, PieFed just rolled out app API support, so there’s not that many apps yet. It’s mostly just been the web UI
But off the top of my head I believe Voyager is rolling out PieFed support, but iirc it’s still in beta
cm0002@lemmy.worldOPto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•Lemmy.ml continues to allow misinfo/propaganda sites "articles" so long as it's Russia-aligned/anti-west while removing good credible news sources. Instances that federate with them help their spreadEnglish0·8 days agoI don’t think it was on the support comm, but they did respond on a thread about it once on why they don’t defed from them like they did the other 2.
It boiled down to 3 things: big comms, official Lemmy support comms and the fact the devs rolled out instance blocking tools
The 1st one, I’m hopefully solving with my cross-posting and calls for boycotting, the third one is by calling attention to the fact that it doesn’t work as one would think. Pretty sure everyone thought block meant block when it was being discussed.

Additional considerations apply to the use of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). RFE/RL should be used cautiously, if at all, for reporting published from the 1950s to the early 1970s, when RFE/RL had a documented relationship with the CIA.
RFE/RL may be biased in some subject areas (particularly through omission of relevant, countervailing facts), and in those areas, it should be attributed in the article body. There is no consensus as to what subject areas require attribution. The scope of topics requiring attribution of RFE/RL should be decided on a case-by-case basis.
It hasn’t been true for some time now and is generally found to be credible and fairly unbiased and RFA is seen in even a more positive light:
Radio Free Asia can be generally considered a reliable source. In particularly geopolitically charged areas, attribution of its point of view and funding by the U.S. government may be appropriate. Per the result of a 2021 RfC, editors have established that there is little reason to think RFA demonstrates some systematic inaccuracy, unreliability, or level of government co-option that precludes its use.
And MBFC:
In contrast this is what RT looks like:

Ok prove it then, surely something so widely known and “blatant” to be an outlet for misinformation would have numerous online, credible, sources with their evidence

In any case, bias != Mis/Disinformation. They’re vastly different beasts. One just tries to subtly write things in a way that makes the reader favor their position the other is just straight lies and made up conspiracy theories to force a certain narrative among the populace

Uh huh, just like how the instance/user block being horribly implemented to where it’s just a barely functional mute is just a (4 year) “oversight”.
Funny how their “oversights” just so happen to have benefits to their efforts to push authoritarianism
