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

Probably 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”

If it’s the first, this is about to be fucking hilarious

I have 0 love for Amazon, but…it’s better than going to Walmart

And my GOG account has 150 free games in it from them sooooooo 😅

Could it be, a rare justified WB cancellation lmao

I’m unfortunately stuck here until Boost implements PieFed support

I…I need the template for that meme :o

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

Lol, I already have

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:

Radio Free [Region] is literally a mouthpiece of blatant western imperialist

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

Radio Free [Region] is a perfectly credible news source that does a fair job of minimizing bias

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

I’m hoping that [email protected] will need to a rebirth of that sort lol

Instance blocks are nothing more than a comm mute, even if it worked as one would expect, it does nothing to stop them from spreading their toxic misinformation and propaganda to unknowing new users.

And downvoting to oblivion is not something to be relied upon, IME only obvious ones get downvoted like RT or ones with headlines like “UKRAINE WILL FAIL SOON SUPERIOR RUSSIA…”

Subtler disinformation, from lesser known sources, can still end up with positive upvotes and is just as dangerous

That doesn’t sound unusual, it’s probably the heat they wanted

is like ‘burning the Library of Congress’

Don’t fucking give them any ideas

You’re right, but also taking together their comment history, we can reasonably assume that they chose their username with the intent to slur rather than as a more benign meaning.

Just as the prophecy foretold!
