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?

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

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.

On one hand arguing that a 15 yo isn’t old enough to realise the consequences of spreading AI nudes of a real girl.

On the other hand arguing that 15 yo’s are totes old and responsible enough to undergo life changing surgery/procedures.

It’s funny how you just downvote and provide zero arguments. Just jumping to call me anti-trans and a pedo.

Good thing I’m not as phobic as you people and will still support the trans community, just not the individuals being dicks.

I did not downvote you, I did give an argument and I did not call you either anti-trans or a pedophile.

Why are you lying? Everyone can even see that all but the downvote lie are lies.

Kids are never offered “life changing surgeries”. This doesn’t happen. Evidence very much suggests being trans is a genuine neurological condition that we are born with.

Our brains match our gender.

Brains are not necessarily binary.

We understand some of the causes.

“Risk” of being born trans seems to be partly genetic.

Our identities are stable.

The American Academy of Pediatrics is on our side.

Adults don’t regret surgery. And another study on the same.

Additionally, getting a diagnosis is a long process (and it’s not guaranteed that you’ll get one), and then actually getting treatment takes even more time (also not guaranteed).

EDIT: I can’t read what the transphobe is saying anymore as they have rightly been banned from the server I’m on. Detransitioning is uncommon, but of course perfectly valid. Typically people detransition because of transphobia or for economic reasons. Have some additional links:

Rates of detransition are low, and they are only very rarely permanent and caused by true regret.

GenderGP links multiple studies saying essentially the same thing.

This one mentions detransition rates of 13%, but again mostly to escape stigma.

Hence the /procedures. 😉

Weird how you left out the links of studies, reports of people that actually do regret it. I mean should we just ignore those people?

If you want kids to be able to make these decisions, you will have to inform them. Properly. Not just paint them a nice picture. That’s what you’re currently doing. Not informing them and painting nice pink pictures.

It is not sunshine and rainbows for everyone. There are trans people who regret it. Ignoring that fact is being dishonest with yourself and the transcommunity.

The rate of regret for transition is massively lower than almost any other medical intervention. Why do you care so much about this one specific type of intervention, above all others? Why not invest your activism into medical interventions with much higher rates of regret?

And why do you choose to spend time on your pedophilic tendencies/anti-trans activism?

What are you talking about? Teens undergo life changing surgery all the time, whether it is for a sports injury, to correct scoliosis, oral surgery, etc.

Biden was never much of a fighter. He’s done almost nothing to help while dozens of states pass anti trans legislature. But hey he made it so trans people can join the military again, if they can survive their state that is.

You mean like hoods executive order that was blocked by courts? I’m not saying he’s the biggest trans ally but saying he’s done almost nothing is unfair imo

How many states did he let pass harmful legislation before doing that? Or was the plan always to wait until the election cycle for that order? An election cycle EO that can’t pass the courts is indeed almost nothing.

There’s a lot to criticize about the dems and Bidens administration, that’s for certain. One thing we can say is that even though it hasn’t been the best ally to LGBTQ+ community as it could be, the alternative is an enemy and great threat to all marginalized people. Trump will most definitely work to ban any sort of gender affirming care.

The DNC deserves criticism for sure, and I completely agree with calling out it’s bullshit. They need to do better and/or we need better options, for sure. They should be our most conservative party in an ideal world.

Criticize, loudly even, just please don’t throw away your vote. I’m afraid people’s apathy is going to get an actual enemy elected.

Glad you posted this, it reminded me to update my Lemmy content filter! Up to now, I’ve just filtered out any headline including the word “slam, slammed, or slams.” Because those headlines are garbage. Now I’ve remembered I need to add the word “blast, blasted, and blasts,” because those are garbage too. Thanks!!

Nahh, an article can present a point of view we deem to be “correct” while still engaging in clickbait and sensationalism. I’m not interested in clickbait or sensationalism, so I find that my filtering methods do a pretty good job of getting rid of most of the trash.
