  • I know we are all on here because we dislike the kind of algorithms that tik tok, Instagram, and Facebook have, but that is exactly the thing my wife was looking for. When I had her download pixelfed and loops she was like ’ I have to search out content and manually follow people like I did with Facebook back in the day?’ and she uninstalled.

    Algorithms can be addictive and evil, but for some people that’s what they’re looking for.

    Mods, I appreciate this bot!

    Deciphering media bias is tough, and finding 1 site that will ‘perfectly’ identify biases is an impossible task, but at the minimum having this bot show up on posts ‘gets people thinking’ about the credibility of their news sources.

    MBFC doesn’t have to be the ultimate arbitrator either. If it is missing something about a specific article people can call it out in the comments. At the end of the day, the worst thing it does is add more data about a news source and I’m not gonna complain about that.





  • I’d say this is less on the ability of Russian assassin’s and more on this guy for reaching out to his girlfriend back in Russia.

    In Spain, Mr. Kuzminov lived “an indiscreet life,” the senior Guardia Civil official said. He went to bars popular with Russian and Ukrainian clientele, burning through the money he had received from the Ukrainian state. He drove around Villajoyosa in a black Mercedes S-Class.

    Exactly how the killers found him has not been established, though two senior Ukrainian officials said he had reached out to a former girlfriend, still in Russia, and invited her to come see him in Spain.

    “This was a grave mistake,” one of the officials said.

    When I used to manage people (for a call center) I would do that but via text. I didn’t wanna catch anyone off guard with a phonecall where they agree to it without realizing they already had plans or something.

    I also always tried to stress that this is optional, if there aren’t enough people, that’s on us, and we should have prepared better.
