Hmmm, you complain, but yet you participate in society. Curious!

You mean like when they blockaded oil terminals and it got not nearly as much attention as this and got them swiftly whisked away?
The part where it’s action targeting the oil companies? You know, like you were suggesting they do?
It’s not hard to look up.

Took 2 seconds.
They literally DID. The fact you don’t know about it shows why they also do their publicity stunts.
Yeah, media bias fact check, totally not based on some guys political opinions…
Ah okay
Enumerating every user to get the vote count on every single post/comment seems too computationally expensive.
Because then people can vote an unlimited number of times.
There needs to be some sort of identifier
Ayyyyy
No it’s the person who owns the source.
A pro-Israel American iirc.
For one, it bases it’s bias assessments on American politics. The UK is less right-wing than the US but when this bot comes along it calls a source which we might call centrist, “left”.
In a way, it’s like an attempt to shift the overton window for other countries closer to the US, and that’s not a good thing.
Of course, don’t expect this to be addressed by @Rooki@lemmy.world.
People offered plenty of constructive criticism in that thread:
The mod ignored it and only replied to positive feedback.
Hate-spewing riots?
Didn’t know just stop oil was doing that, last I checked they put cornstarch on Stonehenge which washed off a day later.
Ad hominem/personal insults, the perfect argument winner.
What, “coward”?
🙄
The fact that this platform is developed by transphobes is a big FUCKING deal
Not really. Usually the issue is the platform devs also control the instances/servers but that isn’t the case here.
The code isn’t transphobic. The code is code. We shouldn’t reject perfectly good code because we don’t like who wrote it. That’s just giving the software solely to the people who do to the detriment of everyone else.
Because he’s the developer. He can easily change a line of code to exploit users and servers across the fediverse.
This can be done by anyone, and applies to any platform. It’s not a problem unique to Lemmy.
I also don’t see how transphobia and backdooring everyone are at all related.
They have a history of blocking oil terminals. All it achieves is much less media coverage and a quick stop to it.
