gotten a bit more dodgy these days.

Bro’s gone from funny too: “but cancel culture” and “hahah rape joke”

Sorry what?

They rate CBS News and weather channel as “middle” and “reliable”.

Ad fontes media are by no means perfect, but they are generally the best in the field. Unlike some of their competitors they don’t rate Reuters and AP as left wing lol.

Obviously reliability and bias are subjective — as is everything in the social sciences. But that doesn’t mean attempting to quanify it is not useful. It’s subjective to quantify democracy for example but the economists democracy index is useful — or the Human development index etc.

first month — yes haha.

sourcing is still better here than reddit though

I’m pro-palestine as fuck. But can’t we have a higher standard for sourcing please.

The far right party in Switzerland. Is called Union Democratique du Centre in French (Democratic Union of the Center).

Most of them have no clue what antifa actually says or means — nor what facism actually means

The internet isn’t bad itself.

It’s the fact that bad actors (rich companies, power hungry people, and especially authoritarian states) can hire millions of people and create millions of bots to intentionally spread their narratives on social media. This is immoral, so good actors don’t do it.

No one talks about the problem or acknowledges it. Social Media needs regulation to prevent this, or it will be our undoing.

Yes, but the CCP themselves are russian apologists so doesn’t change much.

I hate being disabled and unable to leave my bed.

I wish I could interact with people in real life…

Is there any state backed keyboard army free social media? :(

yeah. Renew is pretty neo-liberal but they have lately moved a bit more socially conservative, especially on immigration.

Ever wonder why mainstream social media feeds were filled with right wing content, and far right comments? Or why left-wing communities get hijacked by people saying you should not vote, or only vote for super far left pro-russia parties.

Behold the “Russian Web Brigades” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_web_brigades

To avert suspicions, the users sandwich political remarks between neutral articles on travelling, cooking and pets.[25] They overwhelm comment sections of media to render meaningful dialogue impossible.[39][40]

This is why I left reddit. I would say 1 in 10 accounts is one of these. It is crazy.

Anti-Islam, Anti-EU, Remove Welfare, Mass deportations (even for people with german passports it they haven’t “integrated” — code word for being white, straight, and able-bodied) Russian apologists, “Völkish Nationalism”, — you get the picture

On that subject…

Just in case anyone needed proof that Elmo (Elon) is a Nazi.

Maybe he thinks if the RN share power for the next couple of years, people won’t see them as the outsiders that are against the system, which seems to be driving their voterbase. Basically betting on the fact that all incumbents are unpopular in France, so if he gives the RN some power now, they won’t be able to win the 2027 presidential elections.

because in america, “far left” is literal moderates and “right-wing” is pretty much facism.

looks a lot worse if you compare it to 2019, and account for the fact “other” has a lot of far right parties such as the “SS aren’t war criminals” AFD.

Until the party of freedom bans it. Hasn’t florida already?

Meanwhile Kevin De Bruyne (a footballer looking to get a lucrative contract in Saudi Arabia) today, on human rights in Saudi Arabia:

"Every country has its good and bad things. Some people will give examples of why you shouldn’t go there, but you can also give them about Belgium or England.

Everyone has less good points. Who knows, maybe they will tell you the flaws of the Western world."

I’m always disappointed hearing news about Biden. So boring and normal. Where did my emotional rollercoaster of reading the news when Trump was president go?

Dark brandon better beat that facist dumbass come november though.
