  • By “adding” i mean adding it into the field higher than MBFC ( as i personally think wikipedia is a little bit better for that ).

    new:

    Wikipedia: Reliability consensus is mixed…l ( whatever the scrapper scrapes ) MBFC: Right-Center - Credibility: High - Factual Reporting: Mostly Factual - United States of America
    Search Wikipedia about this source

    I would like to implement your code into the bot myself so i can learn how you would do it. If you are willing to share your code, please send me a github link ( or invite me if you want it to be private between you and me ) or if its super simple just send it in the dms.


  • MBFC API is free as they gave us access for us as a Non Profit.

    We already had in mind adding these sources to our bot but we didnt had the time and knowledge how to scrape that. Personally i would like to host it on our own server so that we dont require you to use your own money just for one bot, in what programming language did you write it?

    Thanks a lot!

    Its better to have some “fact checking” than the “trust me bro” system.

    We all know all “fact checking” systems have humans behind it, those humans can have biases, dislikes or do mistakes. But thats the reason why we should not have such system is not good. Its the viewers discretion to believe into the fact/bias checks of the given page. We are just giving our best effort to simplify the view.

    Then i give you the recommendation to block the bot, if you dont like it.
