Pretty funny because goatmatrix censors significantly less than lemmy.

Lemmy does have a problem of moderators that treat content removal like a downvote button.

Lemmy is not a platform, it's software on which different platforms can run. It does not have a moderation policy of its own; it only has moderation tools, and a large amount of instances that decide their own moderation policies.

The instance OP links to, lemmy.ml, has a huge censorship problem and is run by tankies. Thankfully one can go elsewhere.

I'm guessing it got removed because you stole Dreddit's idea. (Bõts posting, they want to do that themselves). By the way Youtube is full of no-effort AI bõt videos now. So if you use YT as a source you would just be recycling bõt content.

There are plenty of high quality news and documentaries on YouTube. You just have to be selective, which is what an approved whitelist would do.

I watch PBS NewsHour every night.

As user, If you just search for a topic and click on the top few results, yeah you will get AI slop, you just block that channel from being recommend again & subscribe to the good ones.

Yes. And how are you going to automate that? A dumb machine can't tell the difference.

gleep23@reddit

You don't automate the whitelist.

Are they really that extremely c*nsoring? I mean are they really so scared that they remove such content that obviously? That site has a few hundred views. Reddit has billions.

YT

The idea is to only distribute trusted channels.
