Because when sharing anything, it’s important to provide the context of when it was published if it’s older? Especially when there are active and current discussions about a topic (ie governance of Mozilla) and someone could easily be confused about how recent an article is? Otherwise it could appear to be intentionally misleading, which I’m sure was not your intent.

None of that addresses or explains why you posted an older article without noting the age of it.

And you do know how Mozilla Ventures is different from other parts of Mozilla, right?

You all not only don’t read the article, the date published is right there in the URL

Ah, that makes sense. Didn’t see it because it was a crosspost and my client (Voyager) left that out of the description.

The source for the bot’s info is Media Bias Fact Check, which is separate from Ground News. The admins added the Ground News link because users wanted additional sources and mentioned that one I believe.

I think the bigger question is why it bothered with Internet Archive, since that wasn’t mentioned in the original post, or did I miss something?

Interesting take. I look at it as less “anti-medieval” and more anti-government. Gygax was a libertarian and it grew out of wargaming. Gygax just wanted a world where he could fight dragons and didn’t bother to do the world building of an economic or political system. I think this was more out of disinterest in the topics rather than as a political stance.

“Please do not link to this draft as it is unfinished and the URL will change upon publication.”

This is still in draft, unfinished, and they specifically asked people not link to it yet. Probably better to wait until the report is final

Odd then that they’re using Rule 5 bans on people like me who never posted to their community

Ah, this explains it! Saw I was banned from a community that I’d never posted in and evidently one of the mods is a wanker. Mystery solved :)

Username …doesn’t check out

I mean, kinda yeah?
