I don’t fully understand. Can you give a concrete example? Like you meet someone who seems like a woman to you, they say they’re a man, and you’re like, “no, no, you’re a woman, I reject your self identification of being a man”?

Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive linksEnglish
34·12 days agoHas the accuracy of the snapshots actually changed based on this edit? After all, if it’s factual information being presented…
Yes! Quite literally, yes. They’re supposed to be an archive of what is on other sites. It doesn’t matter if the original site was, right, wrong, complete, incomplete, accurate, inaccurate, factual, unfactual, etc. If they change things, they’re editorializing and are no longer an archive, they’re new content - which is not the purpose people use them for.
I do agree that it raises the issue of what other modifications there may be,
That’s literally the point. It doesn’t matter how much you “understand the reasoning” (though you also think it’s childish and don’t agree with the actions). You can use it if you want to, no one is stopping you. The point is Wikipedia can’t trust it as a source of archived data and has every right to ban it.

38·12 days agoThat’s inappropriate, childish, and unprofessional. It makes them untrustworthy for citations. There are better ways of handling it.
If altering snapshots for a grudge isn’t your definition of “behaving poorly” for a site archiving the state of the Internet, then you must not think they have to be an accurate source of information. If they’re not an accurate source of information, then Wikipedia has no obligation to allow them to be used in citations, and they should remove such citations.

541·12 days agoIt sounds like archive.today is behaving poorly. As far as I know, Wikipedia isn’t exactly “big money”. If you know different on either front, can you please explain. Otherwise your comments are meaningless.

131·1 month agoAlso, the original article had a perfectly fine title. It’s pretty standard when posting to keep the title of the original article you’re linking to instead of editorializing it, unless you’re specifically going to fix something and note that.
Here, let me help you: copy, paste.

World News@lemmy.world•Canada separatists accused of ‘treason’ after secret talks with US state departmentEnglish
6·1 month agoI think a lot of it is way more racist than that.
“Old stock white Canadians, and that’s us, and we don’t have to apologize for this room being filled with white people. This used to be what Alberta was. We’re not apologizing for being ourselves… If we have control over immigration, we can control who comes here.”
- Alberta Prosperity Project CEO Mitch Sylvestre
He also said, “the replacement theory is real.” (i.e. the federal government intends to replace “white Canadians” with other races through immigration.) And he claimed Justin Trudeau said this explicitly. (I’m pretty sure he did not…)
