    I did have several in my own post history in the past, but sadly not anymore. Back in winter I deleted my entire post/comment history up to a certain cutoff point, and I think around a week ago I cleared out almost everything from my profile altogether.

    I'm preparing for leaving this website when @teaearlgraycold's current tildes minecraft server shuts down for the season, which kind of appears to be "possibly soon".

    And I don't know if that's being done too often?

    Afaik malice just goes straight to The Elevated One for judgement, so that's a no. However I've seen many cases of "Noise" label abuse, I think particularly due to the lack of transparency behind it. I've called it out a few times, but overriding the vote can be tough. And I don't have a clue how the override works either tbh. The only Noise override I can recall seeing in the wild was @creesch's comment listing hundreds of tildos in pings, in one of the first "season 3" minecraft posts for the tildes mc server.

    It is and I've been there many times. See above

    I don’t think this is a problem.

    It is and I've been there many times.

    And if people do care enough to do some kind of misinformation tag vote, why wouldn’t they also just vote on a reply?

    I think I'm rather implying we kind of need an at-least-somewhat-crowdsourced system, perhaps in a separate interface element rather than the pure comment chain itself, exactly to prevent abuse. And I think we should extend this to exemplary comments as well.

    I think in short "this is for the actual devs to determine", but we should draw inspiration from the Community Notes systems already existing.

    One example is, it shouldn't apply automatically. The user who reports it has to provide a source and an explanation in a pop-up like malice's, and then one or more "trusted users" has/have to approve it based on what was written in the source. And to do so in a way that is not just going to end up with the correction being buried below tens or hundreds of comments.

    Throughout my 3-ish-year adventures on Tildes, I've sometimes noticed misinformation (or otherwise incorrect information) being spread in comments. This misinformation is not necessarily malicious in nature; often times it's very much benign due to various reasons, though I've also seen a fair share of disinformation over the years as well.

    Now, disinformation very much falls within the scope of the Malice tag, as it is malicious in nature and is very much a clear rule violation, but I'm honestly really tired of all the benign kind of misinformation as well. You could argue, "well, you can just leave a comment with a correction and a source". I normally would agree, but the reality of it all is that if you leave this comment late enough in a discussion almost nobody ever reads it, because it's at the bottom of the comment chain. The comment containing inaccurate claims may be on the top of a 100-comment comment chain with, say, 30 votes, whereas a correction with a source may remain at the very bottom of the thread with 0-2 votes.

    For me, this is presently the #1 thing I'm micro-annoyed about with regard to tildes's design. Therefore I am proposing the addition of a Misinformation tag, a sort of "community-managed misinformation tag" similar in nature to the Community Notes system on Twitter X and other websites.

    do not seem to be AI-generated at all

    interesting to me how bad people as a whole are at identifying AI.

    Presumably a few different people have reviewed these pictures before publishing this article.

    the other reason I bring this up is because seeing it published in a reputable outlet means that three or four different people reviewed these, and came to what seems like the wrong conclusion

    Not happening outside of k*czyński's wet dreams. Poland is cooked if that happens and everyone knows it. It's a reactionary move from pis to steal vote share from konfa/kkp because they've been actively losing support over the past year as it is speedrunning losing their spot as one of the 2 main parties in the next elections. Especially with the Morawiecki splitting from pis I reckon it's even less likely even if in a hypothetical scenario we get a pis+rplus govt next year.
    it's 3 out of 4 Poles actively want to remain in the EU, even among the conservative right. We'd completely fucked as soon as we even announced leaving.

    Also:

    I always thought they were the dummies but that's a pretty nifty heist they're pulling.

    Who are "they" in this section?

    I wish, but no. @creesch has also written a userscript or something, but nothing tildes-wide. And sadly it's one of the biggest reasons I'm thinking of quitting this website
