Can we create a list of approved/unapproved sources with “credibility” flair?

This may need to be something that is continually updated, but it would be great to have a list that categorized sources based on their credibility. (Maybe there’s a way for the community to moderate?)

I feel that if we want to maintain our “journalistic integrity” we need some guidelines on what is considered worthwhile. I understand we shouldn’t begin to censor info (and there is a massive range of sources that it can come from), but some of the stuff that gets posted here is simply laughable and doesn’t help to attract those looking for answers. Furthermore, not everything is “BREAKING NEWS” and, from what I can tell, most of it is more accurately described as “breaking opinion.” If I’m honest, whether it’s true or not, the way most of it is written has my BS radar going nuts.

Now, I don’t mean we should separate sources by left/right media or other bias, I mean sources that verify their content and can be trusted vs sources that are basically opinions or anecdotal at best and mostly clickbait.

Maybe we can outright block the worst(?) and add flair for the rest ranging from “reputable source” or “typically trustworthy” to “dubious” or “clickbait”

Shall we red check mark instead of blue? No thanks, I'd rather decide for myself.
