In their defense, they only stated that they appreciated it…not that they’d listen.

I love that bot because I can disagree with their assessment easily in a comment to it. The NYT is medium to low and they list it as high, not sure how that came up with high for them.

From my look at media publications:

🔺💲 New York Times

◾ Owned by The New York Times Company

It's a publicly traded company with most of it being privately held, that owns a multitude of media types:

Since September 25, 1997, the company has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol NYT. From April 27, 1967, until January 13, 1969, the company's Class A common stock traded over the counter. From January 14, 1969, until September 24, 1997, the shares were traded on the American Stock Exchange. There are 2 categories of stock, Class A (publicly traded) and Class B (held privately—largely (over 90% through The 1997 Trust) by the descendants of Adolph Ochs, who purchased The New York Times newspaper in 1896.

◾ CEO and publisher is A.G. Slzberger

A.G. Slzberger

Arthur Gregg "Dash" Sulzberger (born August 5, 1980) is an American journalist serving as the chairman of The New York Times Company and publisher of its flagship newspaper, The New York Times.

Sulzberger is a fourth-generation descendant of Adolph Ochs, who bought the New York Times in 1896. The Times has been managed and published by Adolph Ochs's family since that date.

Sulzberger attended Ethical Culture Fieldston School and Brown University, graduating in 2003 with a major in political science. At Brown, Sulzberger worked briefly for The Brown Daily Herald as a contributing writer.

World admins rolling out a mbfc not for news and politics comms. They ask for feedback then get angry at the comments about how bad it looks and people again raising points for why mbfc sucks

[+] [email protected] -8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That was sadly the point why we didnt recognized that as feedback, rather as just being childish because some site said some bad things about their favorite news page.

At least we got some real feedback that were constructive. We will implement those and deploy it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ignoring the vaild criticisms of mbfc also isn't a good look.

[+] [email protected] -13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

"MBFC BAD DESTROY IT" isnt valid. Its just personal opinion. We responded to the real feedback accordingly and will implement them soon.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, I'm sure that was exactly how every piece of feedback against mbfc was.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

I know you really don't want to be shipped off to the work camps but that's not really feedback is it?

Now where do you want us to paint the bus a different color?

Yes. Yes. I'm being facetious but... Like only accepting nice things that maybe fix appearance as feedback? Pshh.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Please be honest with yourself. Feedback that isn’t complimentary of your closed-source bot has consistently been disregarded, even when it was constructive

[+] [email protected] -13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, there was some good. Feedback, those "I HATE MBFC DESTROY IT" Feedback was not constructive.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Your definition of feedback, as stated in one of your latest posts —“No improvement idea? No… that's NOT feedback, that's just crying around”(https://lemmy.ca/post/25936280/10720168)— is clearly out of touch with reality and reflects a biased and distorted view. Feedback includes all types of input, not just suggestions for improvement.

[+] [email protected] -16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just reflect how it feels to get such bad feedback without any real feedback in it.

Feedback includes many types of input but not: Disliking it because of personal opinion, because service x rated your favorite news page badly.

My feedback to that emotional feedback was just my emotion back to it.

If we wanted everyones opinion on MBFC yes then we would loved this response from you. But feedback is not just MBFC BAD!!!!!!!!

What if theoretically give you feedback on your math test: "0 Points Because ITS BAD!!!!!" Then you would think why was it bad? The formula ? The results? The readability? Or were my books that i read bad?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Normally when faced with simply "its bad!!!" You reflect. If i got a 0 on my math score with no explanation id imagine I did so insanely bad, that I need to rethink how I did it entirely.

Maybe stop removing comments and see about finding better sources, that also happen to reflect what your users want.

Pawn Stars is a show where people pawn stuff to a bald guy.

The LW mods are relying on a website to verify news, but it barely works outside of U.S. coverage, making it useless for global news (it’s like they think the U.S. is the whole world). They ask for feedback, but let’s be real—they’re too stubborn to accept any criticism

"I appreciate criticism but prefer compliments" - mods probably

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Lovely - mods are removing all comments that are pointing out that /u/CaliforniaKove has been spamming multiple instances with the same agenda for days now. I'm guessing pointing out spam and voicing disagreement is not allowed? Better yet, they're citing community Rule 2, which has to do with reposts and in no way applies to the removed comments. Unless they mean to cite Rule 2 of lemmy.ml, which is also absurd imo considering the shit that regularly gets posted on the instance (of which I'm a member). Normally I don't removed about getting comments removed, but not allowing people to express frustration with actual spammers, and removing their comments citing an anti-spam rule, is fucked up and smells of agenda pushing vs. actual moderation.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I don't removed about getting comments removed

Is the word bitch or vulgar term for female dog banned here?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Lemmy.ml censors swear words and slurs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Wack

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

It doesn't fucking censor swear words. You can say shit and ass and damn. It censors slurs and offensive terms to historically marginalized groups only. It's just some of them are still so prevalent in our language that people take umbrage to this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

It's the later. As the other user pointed out, lemmy.ml censors vulgar language by default

Seeing the... type... of people who can't handle fact checking, I am relieved it is in place.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I... Agree with the OP that the site's rating isn't good.

At the same time, the reports are very informative and seem to be well researched. I ended-up liking the site.

The majority of feedback offered was that it wasn't pro-Palestinian enough.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That seems like a real problem given they are a people being actively subjected to genocide which is being censored and distorted by western media, who have their land stolen, their existence denied, and been subjected to apartheid sponsored by the most powerful nation in the world (the US no less) in flagrant violation of international law for over half a century. Abuses and genocide carried out by a regime so powerful, so important to US interests that there are multiple states in the US where you can lose your job or your business contract for simply voicing support for boycotting and divesting from the apartheid regime that is an illegal colonization and occupation of stolen land by radical far-right reactionary ethno-fascists operating under the cloak of religion. Most major western media are some degree of complicit in giving one-sided pro-apartheid state slants, omitting key details, and using dishonest framing to attempt to deceive the public and manufacture apathy and complicity.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I actually agree with most of that, but the couple I'm troubled by are rather important.

The main one being these slants and key details you say are omitted. Before I go into it, though, I assume you're talking about the historical context of the conflict?
