Awesome, so instead of actually giving evidence and attempting to push the conversation forward by offering better solutions, instead you just insult people got it.

Yes I do need more evidence then that. Snopes is known as a trustworthy source. So it makes sense for Facebook to hire them. Did Snopes compromise their integrity it did they try to do the job the best they can?

What you're suggesting is basically on the level of an attorney decides to defend someone in a murder, even if that person didn't commit it, that the attorney should also be charged on the murder if found guilty. That's not how it works.

You can attempt to do good, even while working with someone awful. Guilt by association is draconian.

Wow... apparently any kind of enjoyment is now socialism... what's the closest Socialist country to the US? I'm moving. :-D

I don't think Facebook is anything but an awful cesspool. But stating Snopes is just as bad without evidence, doesn't help the conversation.

As I stated if you have other suggestions I'm open to getting them. Just stating "Nope, bad!" Without giving evidence, outside of affiliation, doesn't help the conversation, nor does it direct folks to trustworthy sources.

If you have other suggestions in open to getting them, but I'm not sure how being a Facebook checker is a negative thing. Facebook needs LOTS of checking. Not a huge fan of Google Analytics, but I can hide myself from that stuff anyway, so also not a big deal really.

Basically they're better than nothing.

I'll also say that technology isn't good or bad. Even if mastodon were to somehow so this, they'll move somewhere else. Mastodon and Fediverse technologies well always have a dark side for those that are kicked out of somewhere. They'll always five a place for their hate. That doesn't make Mastodon bad or evil.

If the Mastodon devs were to attempt to force their views on everyone, that would be bad, because someone will have a view that doesn't coincide with yours.

The best we can do is create the technology and block those users we don't want to see. You getting into an out rage won't change their mind. It'll just prove their point. You can't change their mind, that's only something they can do. Let them echo their hate into themselves and maybe some will hear the echo and realize how awful it is and decide to leave if their own Accord.

If only there was a way to run your own server with your own rules and exclude those nodes you don't like or something. Damn decentralized platforms being so centralized and out of our control!

If there's content you don't like you can block it.

If the node you're on didn't have the same views as you, get a new node or make a new node.

I don't agree with any kind of racism, but just stating things like this, like you have no control, is just whining. You at least have options with Mastodon.

Social networks are always going to be a mixed bag, be part of the solution, not someone that just complains about the problem.

I'm in the US so Reuters, NPR, AP. But there are so many "news" websites around anymore I usually take everything I read with a dose of skepticism and I look at Snopes and MediaBiasFactCheck often.

And yet this is a GPL licensed product that they're working around that.

Wow...


Q. Will Audacity remain open source?

A. Yes. Audacity was, is, and always will be 100% open source and free in every sense.

The CLA also allows us to use the code in other products that may not be open source, which we intend to do at some point to support the continued development of Audacity. We can already do this with the code we write ourselves, but the CLA allows us to do it with our contributors' code too. This is necessary because community code and internal code often get mixed in ways that are difficult to separate later on.


So, it'll remain open source, but any code you contribute out of the goodness of your heart, we can take and do with it as we may... wtf...
