  • We’re all part of the Fediverse which includes Masto, Pixel, PieFed, Lemmy etc all communicating on the same interoperable ActivityPub protocol

    Under that is the “Lemmy-verse/Thrediverse” that is what would be “link aggregator” type social media (eg reddit) and includes PieFed, Lemmy, MBin etc.

    RFE/RL may be biased in some subject areas (particularly through omission of relevant, countervailing facts), and in those areas, it should be attributed in the article body. There is no consensus as to what subject areas require attribution. The scope of topics requiring attribution of RFE/RL should be decided on a case-by-case basis.

    It hasn’t been true for some time now and is generally found to be credible and fairly unbiased and RFA is seen in even a more positive light:

    Radio Free Asia can be generally considered a reliable source. In particularly geopolitically charged areas, attribution of its point of view and funding by the U.S. government may be appropriate. Per the result of a 2021 RfC, editors have established that there is little reason to think RFA demonstrates some systematic inaccuracy, unreliability, or level of government co-option that precludes its use.

    And MBFC:

    In contrast this is what RT looks like:
