A horde of trailer-park visigoths can sack the Capitol and Republicans say “what’s the big deal?” But let one guy show up in casual clothes and they lose their goddamn minds.

      The current community policy seems to be we’re responsible for vetting our own sources. I understand that philosophy, though I think a mod comment with materials on reliability.

        I would really like to see a bot that posts media bias information from one of the trusted sites for that information on every post. I’m not capable of creating one but had looked around and unfortunately none of them seem to offer an api.

          I could potentially program one, a simple TypeScript bot probably wouldn’t be too hard. I’ll look into it later.

          So you believe that opposes view points than your own should be censored? Our policy here is that we refuse to be an echo chamber where opposing views are not allowed. We WANT both sides represented so that mutual understanding can be formed. That means you will be exposed to opposing views, many you won’t agree with. That is the heart of politics and the purpose is to find common ground and compromise.

            Deleted my original comment, because I immediately saw this coming. I’m not interested in defending why attacking trans folks and denying systemic racism is bad, or why queer people aren’t actually The Devil™.

            Allowing alternate viewpoints is valid. Giving an entire site which regularly platforms hate and spreads disinformation (by your own earlier link, DW is middling at best) is not. Daily Wire has shown a consistent and intentional willingness to lie, misrepresent, and foment hate.

            But sure. Hold on to your “both sides.” Have a nice day, I’ll see myself out.

              So, yes, you want an echo chamber. That’s not the type of close minded community we have here. There are several ultra left wing only communities that might appeal to you. As for your single issue, we don’t allow hatred toward any group here nore does LW in general.
