This has been my experience as well. I have fixed a couple mis-markings myself, after careful examination of the accounts, because sth seemed a bit off.
As many of the 1-star reviews state, accounts that are obviously green are marked as red and vice-versa.
I don’t know if it is a moderation issue. The app was dead-accurate for many years, and in the docs they stated they do some manual confirmation as well. It could be sth even more technical with their filter. We can’t know.
But the important thing is that it is up to us, the users, to correct mistakes were they are found, or even deliberately introduced by faschists. Shinigami Eyes always was a crowd-sourcing app.
If the crowd stops submitting quality data, then the app will go, indubitably, ashtray.
That sucks. I’m still going to use it though because it saves a lot of time to help filter out transphobes but like any good thing there will be people trying to ruin it.
r/conservative was unmarked today. i remarked it.
We need to spread the word about this. Some people may have kept track of who was marked red in the past?
We don’t know if this is a crowdsourced or an automated thing. Both are equally plausible!
The term is from 2004, from the death note manga lol.
I didn’t know about the app name’s lore, but it was a trusted resource for several years. People were trusting it because it was accurate, and previous attempts by adversaries to exploit it did actually fall flat. I assume because of the user base being healthy. We don’t know the source of the attack either, we can assume nazis, but the reviews talk about enby-phobia and transcmasc-phobia.
This needs attention. Please spread.
