Fact/Line, social network based on facts
US,
CW: Yes, it's an April Fool's joke.
From
Lead Stories, one of my favorite #
FactCheck sites:
"...Fact/Line™ is based on the same open-source software that powers Mastodon but with some significant modifications. The Fact/Line™ timeline is not chronological, not based on engagement count or not run by some recommendation algorithm that tries to guess your personal preferences by tracking your interactions. It respects your privacy and is not based on any personal information at all.
Instead, an algorithm rewards the posts that are most factual and shows them more prominently. All posts made to the network are automatically given a TruthRank™ score using an advanced AI model trained on a database of fact checks (initially mainly from Lead Stories but if you are a fact checking organisation with verified signatory status of the IFCN Code-of-Principles and you want to be included, please get in touch via factline@leadstories.com). The model will also use several lists of websites deemed (un)trustworthy by experts in order to boost posts with links to factual content. ..."
