Having nothing and being a “trust me bro, this source is lit and unbiased” is better?

We are collecting all the feedback here: https://lemmy.world/post/18775630
We are trying to come to a better solution ( except removing fully the bot ).
I did not remova any comments? Those removed comments are renoved by mods of the community.
But the issue is there is no other alternative that has an ordered and automatable access.
Then the other option was to have a community made “source” but that brings up the issue with “User x is not fit to contribute”, “Remove the bad rating on site xyz.com” etc. tadah back to the start with the “crying” ablut topic x.
We are still working on such an system as this could at least reduce the shitstorm about having no option to alter the rating. But its not final that decision.
No of course not, some were constructive and gave an alternative site or adjusted format how they expect it to look.
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?
“MBFC BAD DESTROY IT” isnt valid. Its just personal opinion. We responded to the real feedback accordingly and will implement them soon.
No, there was some good. Feedback, those “I HATE MBFC DESTROY IT” Feedback was not constructive.
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.
You can even be better than that! You can make a community that fact check news article / news pages. Then we can add the threads from that community to the bot and have there news page specific discussion.
Thanks for the feedback. With the new format we will think about it, but i think this is pretty good.
We will discuss this and come back to you. We would love to open sourc ethe bot but the code quality for reading is not in a good state. We will have to clean the code up. But we will be working for that.
They have a point but strict fake news it isnt. It is not an option to leave it without any second bias opinion. Its not banning anyone. If you dislike it and demand it to be shutdown for democracy. Then you arent allowing other opinions.
Overwhelmingly negative? Those are the 24/7 negative users. We do anything: Those guys: THIS IS IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY
So you stand alone in that statement. See the post vote score.
We give you the option to block it. Block it.
No we dont. We saw the expected “ReMoVe ThE BoT” comments, because MBFC did hurt their feelings by not rating their favourite newspage the highest creditability on earth.
And just block it, then you can imagine how it is without the bot.
See reply in support post
Thanks! Your points are perfectly on target.
If we had any other api with parity of media bias / fact check, then we would have included it, but we only see paid, no api available.
But for now we have added a ground.news search link so that everyone can see a third opinion on it.
You got it. Thats the point. Its just advisory, not if its Bad creditability you will get banned.
Currently the code is for now private. We will see if we can make it public in the future. The mods wont moderate posts because of the MBFC result.
