Have had a few pet projects in the past around RSS aggregation/news reading, which could fact-check the sources/article while reading, also determining the biases from the grammar and linguistic patterns used by the journalist for the article. Same could be applied to comments.
Wonder if such a feature had value for a reader app for Lemmy? I feel a definitive score is toxic. But, if it were to simply display the variables to look out for it can help make a objective decision yourself?
Another application of this, is also pulling just the objective statements in the articles for faster reading.

My thoughts are mostly my implicit bias against machine automation, that giving over one’s thinking to machines will only lead to you being controlled by the person who controls the machine.
Yeah, that was an interesting shift in perspective. Good point
