   Oh no. The dev of a new YT player for #Gnome chooses to illustrate it by showing the channel of a nazi and a fraud.

   I can't know if the developer knows, of course. But we know that this kind of uncertainty is weaponized by the "alt right" all the time. So, how does one deal with it?

   Also, the dev probably won't influence what content the users of the app actually sees, so how much does it really matter if the app is good? I feel these are difficult questions.

     @forteller i think at least in the case of internet historian, it might not be a well known fact. It’s easy to be out of the loop on certain things. Don’t know about the others.

     Did you mean that the nazi is also internet historian? In that case i might be out of the loop about this too

     @matzipan But yes, you are absolutely right, it is easy to be out of the loop. That's why stuff like this is so hard.
