I was banned after RvW for saying that riot police should quit their jobs en masse. There’s no easy way to get unbanned, but consider it for the better because it’s the easiest way to disconnect from that cess pit.
Tell it to my neighbors, my tree has slowly become treeless, I planted one in the middle of my front yard so that the house can stay cool in the mornings
I get it’s annoying to see a comment on almost every news article shared that contributes nothing to a conversation, but you can also just block the bot and be done with it.
I’m not sure why it’s enough of a bug bear to take even the short amount of time it took to make this image and post it.

OP and others like them are seething at the fact that disinformation is more difficult now, you used to be able to post whatever insane bullshit you wanted and people might engage with it, now you’ve got a great big old banner at the bottom of your post telling everyone exactly how much bullshit you’re spewing.
They’ve been outed, so now they’ve taken to attacking the credibility of their watchdog, because if they want people to continue to engage with their propaganda then people need a credible reason to distrust MBFC.
I dunno I think that’s a tad conspiratorial… lemmy is a pretty small audience upon which to launch state sponsored disinformation campaigns. It’s a far simpler explanation that it’s just some dork annoyed at bot comments, which makes sense tbh, it’s just easy to solve by blocking the bot.
OP’s account is less than 24 hours old and already contains two articles from nonreputable sources and a complaint urging people not to trust the reputability watchdog. Even if I am overreacting, that’s a bad look.
Also, nobody said it has to be state sponsored. Nongovernmental actors propagandize shit all the time. People do it all the time for free in my home country, and I guarantee you’ve experienced the negative effects of it, because this is why you hear things about American conservatives every day.
A citizen who cannot trust their news cannot act. And a citizen who cannot trust an independent fact checker cannot trust their news.
Disinformation is easier than ever on US corporate social media, because they’ve been folded into the US military-intelligence-propaganda-industrial complex.
Thats your opinion. Thats the whole reason we added the bot. To give people a second opinion, if they need to trust it or even read it. Is on your own responsibility.
People like quick answers and barely even read the articles. All you are doing is giving ammunition to those types to easily dismiss anything and drag the conversation because of a private credibility rating.
Seriously people seem built on the idea that authority to make claims about anything confidently comes from looking at a Wikipedia article or ai breakdown for 5 seconds. It’s making me think they need to be deplatformed just like any other conspiracy theories on the right.
Yes, thanks to moderators who abuse the system, and lazy admins who don’t hold them to account.
Reddit uses fingerprinting techniques to track you across accounts. You need to look into defeating these tactics in order to successfully register (and keep) a new account.
Change browser, block html canvas, change IP address, etc. Also time plays a factor. Leave it a couple of weeks.
Or, recognise that Reddit has become completely overrun with shitposting bots and has little in the way of interesting content to offer these days, and move on.
Everytime you connect to a web page and make an HTML/CSS request your browser sends information about your computer as a way to optimize the webpage (screen size, resolution, operating system, JavaScript settings, IP, internet connection, and many more attributes). This information put together essentially forms a fingerprint that is unique to you. It can be saved and used to track you across multiple web pages without having to use cookies or other more invasive tracking methods. It’s like a digital form of facial recognition.
Here is a webpage that helps you determine how unique is your fingerprint (and therefore how identifiable):
Just know that sites like this are useless if you don’t understand the results. There are anti-fingerprinting techniques that add random noise to your fingerprint. This might result in these kind of tests claiming you have a completely unique fingerprint, even though the anti-fingerprinting mechanisms randomise the fingerprint for every site, browser session, etc. (depending on the config). This would mean that you are relatively „safe“ from fingerprinting because you never have the same print twice but tests think you are very vulnerable because it’s still a random “unique“ fingerprint.

If this is true, they’re doing a terrible job at it. For my sins, I help moderate a small sub for the city I live in. I’m 99% sure there are one or two right wing assholes with multiple accounts but I can’t prove it.
I’ve already been on Lemmy and learning its ins and outs since the reddit API debacle. Lemmy is not yet populated enough with good groups that cover all the topics I want, but everyone who wants to regain what Reddit used to be should join Lemmy because Reddit has burned themselves for good. It’s never gonna be anything but shit again.
P.S. all of us should encourage others to do the same.
The company you work for is not your friend. If it is their body can they will use it to their benefit. Any benefit you receive will be incidental or simply part if their propaganda to get you to wear it for them.
It will be used, primarily, to surveil employees. They will track your habits and ensure you are aware that every single thing you do for your shift is something your boss or their boss or their boss can come back to you with and reprimand you for. They will try to set performance targets that can be compared to your videos so they can tell you what an algorithm or a petty middle manager says you are doing wrong. Too much time helping a customer. You’re not folding clothes fast enough. Walk faster. No sitting. They will set keywords. Union. Break. Curse words. Your bosses’ names. They might not even review these things. The intimidation is enough. Maybe you’ll get new policies. See that black guy? Follow him. Get video. The algorithm said to do it so it can’t be racist. We’ll pass it along to the cops.
Companies wouldn’t pay for it if they didn’t see a business angle and the obvious ones are control over employees and being able to use more video for “liability” defense.
