There’s an alternate timeline where he wins and can’t get anything through because there aren’t enough progressive Dems in the senate.

Just FYI, they agreed

The last sticky thread actually had some really good feedback, like using a fact checker that is part of the International Fact Checking Network (of which MBFC is not a member) and many other similarly great suggestions.

One of the issues might be in the name. We don’t want to create a bias bot. That seems like a fool’s errand, which is one thing we learned in the process of implementing the MBFC bot. We want to create something that makes people aware of posts that are from medium to low quality sources. Obviously, if the source is super sketchy, we’d delete it, but there’s a lot of grey area where we leave things up.

Honestly, the bias piece was never the important piece for us. It was the credibility piece.

Just trying to give some insight into why we used it in this community.

The other thread was an attempt to gauge feedback on specific ideas (as this post mentions, they are so in the works) and it precipitated this post

Nearly 500,000 of the voters purged during the time period highlighted by Mr. Abbott were dead. About the same number were cleared after they were put on a list of people who did not vote in two successive general elections and are believed to have moved.
Those numbers were roughly equivalent to the number of voters in those categories removed in previous years.

…

Mr. Abbott said around 1,900 possible noncitizens had a voting history in the state before their registrations were canceled. He said their records were being forwarded to the attorney general’s office for investigation.

…

“In a two-year cycle, 10 percent of your roll could move,” even in an economic downturn, Mr. Bettencourt said. During a good economy, it could be even higher, he said.

Seem like all the numbers are there to me?

Only dead ones afaik

It’s also weirdly thrown in there without much detail. Seems like that should be driving the story

Thanks, that tip about being a non-profit is a good suggestion. Do you have any specific fact checkers in mind?

In terms of the comments, they look like they are off-topic. There are support communities within Lemmy.world that would be more appropriate places to post concerns. Or even other communities focused on things like Lemmy drama and similar topics like that. But copy/pasting the same comment on multiple threads? Doesn’t matter what you’re saying, we’ll delete it as spam. Done it many times myself, even if I didn’t delete your comments in particular.

“Objectively harmful” might be a tad overstating it?

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Putting aside those who have stated their appreciation and those who have e DM’d as well….

How it is harmful?

Ok. Sorry you’ve never been on a functional team before.
