      The LW mods are relying on a website to verify news, but it barely works outside of U.S. coverage, making it useless for global news (it’s like they think the U.S. is the whole world). They ask for feedback, but let’s be real—they’re too stubborn to accept any criticism

      World admins rolling out a mbfc not for news and politics comms. They ask for feedback then get angry at the comments about how bad it looks and people again raising points for why mbfc sucks

        That was sadly the point why we didnt recognized that as feedback, rather as just being childish because some site said some bad things about their favorite news page.

        At least we got some real feedback that were constructive. We will implement those and deploy it.

          Please be honest with yourself. Feedback that isn’t complimentary of your closed-source bot has consistently been disregarded, even when it was constructive

              Your definition of feedback, as stated in one of your latest posts —“No improvement idea? No… that’s NOT feedback, that’s just crying around”(https://lemmy.ca/post/25936280/10720168)— is clearly out of touch with reality and reflects a biased and distorted view. Feedback includes all types of input, not just suggestions for improvement.

                I just reflect how it feels to get such bad feedback without any real feedback in it.

                Feedback includes many types of input but not: Disliking it because of personal opinion, because service x rated your favorite news page badly.

                My feedback to that emotional feedback was just my emotion back to it.

                If we wanted everyones opinion on MBFC yes then we would loved this response from you. But feedback is not just MBFC BAD!!!

                What if theoretically give you feedback on your math test: “0 Points Because ITS BAD!!!” Then you would think why was it bad? The formula ? The results? The readability? Or were my books that i read bad?

                  Normally when faced with simply “its bad!!!” You reflect. If i got a 0 on my math score with no explanation id imagine I did so insanely bad, that I need to rethink how I did it entirely.

                  Maybe stop removing comments and see about finding better sources, that also happen to reflect what your users want.

            “MBFC BAD DESTROY IT” isnt valid. Its just personal opinion. We responded to the real feedback accordingly and will implement them soon.

              I know you really don’t want to be shipped off to the work camps but that’s not really feedback is it?

              Now where do you want us to paint the bus a different color?

              Yes. Yes. I’m being facetious but… Like only accepting nice things that maybe fix appearance as feedback? Pshh.

                No of course not, some were constructive and gave an alternative site or adjusted format how they expect it to look.

      That seems like a real problem given they are a people being actively subjected to genocide which is being censored and distorted by western media, who have their land stolen, their existence denied, and been subjected to apartheid sponsored by the most powerful nation in the world (the US no less) in flagrant violation of international law for over half a century. Abuses and genocide carried out by a regime so powerful, so important to US interests that there are multiple states in the US where you can lose your job or your business contract for simply voicing support for boycotting and divesting from the apartheid regime that is an illegal colonization and occupation of stolen land by radical far-right reactionary ethno-fascists operating under the cloak of religion. Most major western media are some degree of complicit in giving one-sided pro-apartheid state slants, omitting key details, and using dishonest framing to attempt to deceive the public and manufacture apathy and complicity.

    Lovely - mods are removing all comments that are pointing out that /u/CaliforniaKove has been spamming multiple instances with the same agenda for days now. I’m guessing pointing out spam and voicing disagreement is not allowed? Better yet, they’re citing community Rule 2, which has to do with reposts and in no way applies to the removed comments. Unless they mean to cite Rule 2 of lemmy.ml, which is also absurd imo considering the shit that regularly gets posted on the instance (of which I’m a member). Normally I don’t removed about getting comments removed, but not allowing people to express frustration with actual spammers, and removing their comments citing an anti-spam rule, is fucked up and smells of agenda pushing vs. actual moderation.

          It doesn’t fucking censor swear words. You can say shit and ass and damn. It censors slurs and offensive terms to historically marginalized groups only. It’s just some of them are still so prevalent in our language that people take umbrage to this.

      I… Agree with the OP that the site’s rating isn’t good.

      At the same time, the reports are very informative and seem to be well researched. I ended-up liking the site.
