    The only idea you will accept is yours, literally has to be there cause of no particular reason other than personal desires and wants.

    Its like saying the only option is punching or kicking children cause you won’t accept the answer of “stop abusing them!”

    Maybe just back off and listen? Or at this point I am forced to assume the mods are being paid for including something that has not been positively talked about once. And they are just taking payment.

      Oh, no, we’re fully accepting of other ideas. We even had a meeting with another fact checking company who wanted to charge us 6 figures for API access, so that’s a non-starter.

      The basics are really simple - You think MBFC is biased? Cite an example and name someone better.

      We’re waiting…

        You aren’t accepting of other ideas you just want someone to tell you what they are apparently. These “fact checkers” are for making a profit or paying themselves and mostly exist to make you feel good about being picky with what information you ignore in a world where there mostly isn’t good options for any number of reasons depending who you agree with.

        You can’t seen to get the idea that we don’t view it as necessary and visual clutter. And the option we are aiming for isn’t a replacement that you seen to be stuck on because, see above.

        People aren’t likely to change their stance either it just reconfirms set feelings for the most part unless it is a lie at which point it should already be removed right?

        So this is at best a badge for pretending civility. It’s pointless.

          We are accepting other ideas, so far nobody has offered any.

          So, for example, AllSides is great for tracking bias, but has no meter for credibility. We have no problem with a biased source, so long as it’s credible.

          So, for example, National Review has a right bias, but is highly credible. Fox News has a right bias and is not credible.

          AllSides will just tell you both are right bias, which isn’t helpful for our purposes.

          The one we had a meeting with, had a good tracker for both, but wanted a 6 figure payment to access the API, which, as volunteers, we can’t fund.

          So far, the folks complaining about MBFC don’t offer a solution, only complaints.
