I disagree.
We know what META is about and what they do. We came here because we didn’t want to be treated as products and used as experiments constantly watched by “AI algorithm”.
The smartest thing anybody ever said to me is, “don’t let a pimp have access to the battered woman’s shelter.”
Almost all of us are here because we have either always thought that, or grew to think that.
88 at the end of a screen name is a well known Nazi dog whistle. It means"heil Hitler". The phenomenon has its own page at the southern poverty law center’s website.
To me it appears to be Jew hater or Jew Phifhter 88.
Besides NPR (which itself does not do international on the ground reporting) which of your sources are state funded? Specifically which of them are funded by a right wing theocracy?
None. That is the difference. Fox News might overtly hate gay people, but are they funded by people who have courts which prosecute homosexuality?
We should prevent that sort of stuff at home and disavow it abroad. Especially if we are leftists, no?
Well I notice Fox is a common denominator in both stories, and I do believe people who get their news from that source are generally guillable at best and uneducated at worst.
But I also think all sides are equally capable of getting things wrong, which is why we need independent journalists (such as those aligned with Bellingcat, for instance) to have reporters on the ground.
If you want to send me a pro-hamas diatribe, feel free.
You have taken my position against state funded media and extrapolated that to decide my opinions on the Irish?
Wow. Do you take palm readings as well or convene with the dead?
I would have to know what specific allegations you are making against other media sources before I answer that question.

There is an entire Wikipedia page if you are truly interested. I don’t believe you are.
They won’t tell the truth about right wing theocracies, but you trust them otherwise?
You are very lenient on your sources. I’m not that lenient.
That isn’t what the ship of Theseus is, and I would also point out that staking money from the funder and shelterers of a terrorist organization, even if just 30%, creates a conflict of interest that can’t be ignored or brushed aside.
We are living in mirror world when leftists are getting their news from right wing theocracies.
Uhm… This is a joke, right?
Al Jazeera is the Qatari government. The stateargely responsible for the funding of Hamas, and the believed home of Hamas leadership.
I can’t imagine this comment you made was done in good faith. Or are you that ignorant?
Technically 3 versions.
Godzilla Minus One plus Garfield kicked ass.
To be fair, you are correct for that being the reason in almost all cases when seen in the south.
He was once asked what the first question he would ask a fully conscious AI. After about 3 minutes of silence, he said, “what’s on the other side of the simulation?”
Sure, it sounds like a smart question. Incredibly deep even. Only one problem: the AI is trapped in the same layer of reality we are.
Al Jazeera is the Qatar government. Not sure I have ever heard anybody classify Qatar as western before.
Huh.
You don’t realize how bad it until you go to a sporting event. Every square inch that can be turned into advertising has been, and when you don’t have the commercials taking your attention, you definitely realize you spent $400 to get 1 hour of content stretched to 3 hours with a really awful DJ to fill in where the ads would have gone.
I am thinking along the same lines as you. The fediverse needs to remain free of commercial interests and influences.
We all came here because we were looking for community driven social media, while metavitself has largely killed the modern world’s sense of community.
Oh man, you got in the van with them and were taken to a second location?
You are lucky you actually got speakers
I think it is built using activitypub. Its essentially a mastodon server that has all incoming servers blocked.
