Here’s some feedback

  • Make it more clear this is a bot in beta mode
  • Better formatting.
  • A small blurb of what the bot does. No acronyms
  • Instead of putting a warning, have it fire on all sources. Use some sort of color coding to differentiate quality in the better formatted message.

Yea, those are all points that I should have included in the bot, my apologies. I will propably make a public post for people to discuss and help me to refine the bot. Thank you for the feedback.

Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) rates them “mostly factual” with left bias.

You’re both right. Mostly factual, with medium credibility.

The current parameters for the bot to send this message are that the source is considered to have medium or low credibility or that the source’s reporting is considered low or very low. The message itself doesn’t mean that the post will face any moderation action, it’s just a notification to the community. I’m still working on this functionality, so any feedback is welcome (: (I am aware of the typos, fixing them right now)

I’m confused now. The commenter says they have high factuality but the bot says they have medium credibility.

What does that mean? Isn’t credibility very tightly linked to factuality?

I think it’s a pretty clever idea for a bot here, if that’s any encouragement. :)

They love to make things they consider to have left bias lower simply because of that
