Am I still missing something? This is posted on the instance of .world, wtf are we talking about .ml and politics for? If your instance filters your comments on other instances than that’s concerning and something I didn’t know.

Yes, something you're missing is that it was your (our) instance which removed the word from your comment. I believe the slur filters are effectively a combination of the configured filters on the writer's instance, the reader's instance, and the community's instance.

If you view this thread from other other users' instances (via the link on their comments in the web view), you will see that the word which was removed from your comment is not removed from comments by users on some other instances (despite that it is also removed from their comments when viewed from our instance). HTH.

(imo false positives from the slur filter are annoying, but so are the people casually using slurs who are prevented from doing so by it; it's a tradeoff i don't feel strongly about. although i do think it would be much better if the writer-side version of it could notify users of the impending bowdlerization prior to posting.)

I used that link to look up the source. It wasn’t here so I posted it here. I do the same with archive links.

Do you post MBFC links on articles from outlets they classify as "unbiased" too, or just the "biased" ones?

As others have pointed out many times before, the entirely flawed premise behind MBFC is that centrism correlates with credibility and/or factualness.

I didn’t report this and don’t have a problem with it.

cool 👍

In general, the fact that they don’t disclose the country they operate out of is problematic

Who doesn't disclose where People Dispatch operates out of? MBFC? Yeah, they don't, because they're lazy hacks who's job it is to impugn the reputation of anyone doing any journalism that isn't in service of the status quo.

since we can’t know if they’re operating from a place where telling the truth is illegal.

A couple minutes of research shows that (although their contributors are all over the world) their legal entity People's Dispatch Ltd. is registered in New York. So, the way things are headed, I guess actually you might be on to something here soon 😬

Edit: I should also say that it’s important they’ve never failed a fact check. I don’t really care about them having editorial bias as long as we know what it is.

The notion that any outlet could have no bias in what they decide is and isn't worthy of reporting on, especially the people MBFC says are unbiased, is ridiculous. And it's usually not difficult to see what an outlet's bias is without relying on a 3rd party using their own bias to classify someone else's.

Wow, a lot of people emotionally disagree with that quote. You can tell because 30+ down voted and you maybe see 1 of them commenting to take a stance.

Cowards who are afraid of reality deserve no respect.

Maybe... it got all those downvotes because it was a ridiculous thing to post in reply to an article which is simply reporting facts without any bias whatsoever, and posting that comment here in this context appears to be an attempt at discrediting Petro (who is, in fact... a leftist 😱 ...watch out) in response to his standing up to to Trump?

And maybe all those other people downvoting it didn't bother replying because I had already posted my reply (which adequately pointed out the absurdity of it) right after the comment was posted? 🤔

I'm curious, do you think there is some bias in this article? What is it?

In case you doubt their translation, you can find the original source of the statement by Petro here.

Is there some other source, which you consider less biased, which has published an English-language translation of his response to Trump?

Or, would you consider any reporting at all of this head of state's response to be intrinsically biased?

Organic Maps is great, but see also OsmAnd.

The former is faster and easier to use but the latter has a lot more features.

What you want is not an "uncensored" server, but rather a server that is moderated in a way that you find acceptable.

There is no such thing as an "uncensored/open" server. Or, when there is, it can't last long. Every open server needs to delete some things, because if they don't, their disk will soon be full of spam and CSAM and then the server will go away. Some servers claiming to be "uncensored" might allow nearly everything besides those two categories, but they tend to quickly become nazi bars.

Sorry i don't have any specific suggestion, but of the 61 servers listed here hopefully there is one with a moderation policy that is to your liking.

just tell them "it's been a long time"

thanks!

Very interesting, thanks! Is it possible for people to register on that relay?

(if I understand correctly) you don't register on a relay, you register on a PDS (which you can easily self-host on a small computer at home). But, to register with a PDS, you need a DID, and to interoperate with the rest of bluesky it needs to be using one of their two currently-supported DID methods: either did:web or did:plc. The former is a thing which you can create using a domain you control, which gives you an identity that you lose control of when you lose control of that domain. The latter is the actually-centralized "placeholder" DID method implemented by an append-only log operated by BlueSky PBC, which is what most people are actually using. I'm not sure if/how you can create a did:plc without first creating an account on a bsky.app PDS, but you can migrate it to your own PDS after creating one there. or, you can use did:web and rely on your domain name registration instead of their centralized log.

in what sense

Reading through it, I’m not seeing much in favor of ATP

See the "BlueSky's strengths" section, particularly the last paragraph of it. Content addressability is absolutely essential for building something that will last, and BlueSky gets that right. Decoupling the many responsibilities which an ActivityPub instance operator has (especially for identity) is also essential, i think, and while BlueSky's identity solution is less than ideal it's much better than ActivityPub and I expect it to improve.

If you're interested in the topic you probably want to also read the followup post from the same author (after reading the linked reply from someone on the BlueSky team).

Christine's analysis is by far the best I've read on the topic, but I think she is too dismissive of the possibility that people will actually build things using ATP in a manner more like ActivityPub (where there doesn't need to be a global view). It's also possible/likely that ActivityPub will eventually evolve to adopt content addressability (Christine actually built a proof-of-concept of doing that years ago, linked in her blog post, but there doesn't appear to be any recent progress in that direction), and decouple identity from responsibility for data availability, and adopt something like BlueSky's composable moderation.

Given their respective advantages over the other, i'm pretty sure that both ATP and AP will make changes which make them more like the other in the coming years.
