There are better ways to assess the legitimacy of a media outlet than critiquing its web design. The Wikipedia page might be a good start.

I don't like the loginwall, but it doesn't require payment.

They aren't talking about the news site. They are talking about the AI site.

You might want to work on your reading comprehension.

I also think the issue was with your comment. It could've been written a bit more clearly

[+] DarkThoughts@fedia.io -11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't know how my comment is unclear. Unless 404 is an AI site somehow, which I wouldn't even know about.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Paywall. That site frankly does not even look legit and looking at the plethora of other AI sites I don’t know who would use this one. It’s not even displaying correctly and has like 0 information on anything. If I were to stumble upon that site I’d think it is shady as hell.

The "Paywall" followed by "That site" makes most people think (me included) that you're talking about the news outlet, 404media, not the AI site mentioned. Writing something like this:

Paywall. The AI site they mention does not even look legit (...)

Wouldn't leave such a wide margin for misinterpretation

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io -2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No. "Paywall" followed by a period, also known as "full stop", followed by a line break / new paragraph (which you conveniently removed), which all indicate a separation, followed by comparing the AI site to "other AI sites". You have to be willfully obtuse to assume that when I talk about AI sites I'm referring to the news site there.

followed by a line break / new paragraph (which you conveniently removed)

I removed nothing. Maybe your client works with single line breaks. The browser ignores a single line break (enter) and only works with one extra empty line.

this will           |  this will render
render as a         |  
single line         |  a separate paragraph

Nope. https://fedia.io/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/1288370/Hacked-AI-Girlfriend-Data-Shows-Prompts-Describing-Child-Sexual-Abuse/comment/7653216#entry-comment-7653216

lemmy and mbin show line breaks differently, in the same browser the line break is present on fedia.io and absent on lemm.ee

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Feel free to make a bug report for Lemmy then.

[–] kux@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

sure thing boss

I'm not responsible for the display bugs on your platforms, buddy.

I think you're having a Principal Skinner meme moment here...

Could it be me who wrote a comment that was slightly unclear?

...

No, it's couple dozen or so other commenters who are wrong.
