New #CoSo Best Practices Proposals:
1. Do not post links to #Twitter in light of their new policies. Use screenshots or thread reposting sites (as long as they still work).
2. Do not post paywalled links. Either generate a "gift" link if you are a subscriber to the site, or use one of the sites below to link an archived / cached version of the content.

3. Credit creators of all #art you post whenever possible.
4. Do not post comment from politically extreme outlets. This goes equally for Left and Right. See images and links below for reference.

@voltronic I'm sorry, but that chart on the left is false-equivalence nonsense as far as I'm concerned. The New York Times opinions are "left"? Nope. And outlets like The Atlantic, Slate, and the New Yorker are just left, not far left or extreme in any way.
@Tattoomonkey29 @sanau
I posted three different bias rating sites that all have different methods, measures, and results.
@Tattoomonkey29 @voltronic Same. My main criterion is not "Does this site only promote centrist viewpoints rather than strong left/right opinions?" It's "Is this site reality-based and not emotionally-manipulative?"
@sanau @voltronic Exactly like that 😎
@voltronic @sanau If someone doesn't like my source link they can scroll by right? I don't limit what I read beyond the absolute mis or disinformation stuff! I post things that I find interesting, and don't knowingly ever put out inaccurate stories and if they are from an iffy site/disinformation I mock them. That being said I can't say I have ever seen that type of stuff here and only seen clickbait posted maybe once here and I don't think it was intentional!
