The news mod team has asked to no longer be a part of the project until we have a composite tool that polls multiple sources for a more balanced view.

It will take a few hours, but FOR NOW there won’t be a bot giving reviews of the source.

The goal was simple: make it easier to show biased sources. This was to give you and the mods a better view of what we were looking at.

The mod team is in agreement: one source of truth isn’t enough. We are working on a tool to give a composite score, from multiple sources, all open source.

      Domain ratings may not be as accurate as fact-checking individual pieces of content

      You know – like a stupid bot writing useless bullshit.

        but they offer a convenient tool for evaluating the efficacy of antimisinformation interventions

        Also my source. You know, when used like a person with more than two brain cells would. Instead of nit-picking at the bot, why don’t we look at the bigger picture for the value it provides?
